My C210 radiator is leaking... so maybe it's time to grab a shiney aluminium one from ebay or what have you. There is plenty of Z and later model nissan stuff coming out of Hong Kong and the states, however nothing specifically for my car. Anyone else know what will bolt straight up besides 240k? I'm thinking likely suspects are R30, 280zx perhaps others. Anyone know for sure?

Cheers!

The one out of my wrecked MR30 was to wide to fit my C110,

what width is the one in your car ?

I could measure it for you

Drew, I took one to a radiator place the other day to get flushed as I destroyed the one I had in the car when the fan flexed. The guy told me it was a V8 holden one.

The stampings are as follows ADRAD 12 HOL 950 24102. bottom outlet is the same and for the top inlet you can get a hose to suit.This radiator was in the 4 door donor car I bought. This is about to have twin thermos attached then placed into my coupe. Hope this helps. Ricky

Thanks - that's interesting to know. My radiator is 68cm wide by 50cm high. The bolt holes are about 66cm by 25 cm. If you are in drivers seat looking towards the front of the car the hoses connect to the top right and bottom left of the radiator. The hoses connect perpendicular to the radiator - they aren't coming off at strange angles or anything.

My first car was a C210. I never had any real problems with overheating (Even with ac). Unless your running heaps of compression I would have the stock one reconditioned. It you find the right workshop, they will put a better core in it!

If you are in drivers seat looking towards the front of the car the hoses connect to the top right and bottom left of the radiator.
Pretty sure the old-school radiators connect top-passenger-side, bottom-driver-side, which is opposite to what you have described.

Drew, I'm inclined to agree with blind elk regarding the inlet/outlet. Any way my bolting up holes are quite similar. Both radiators I have are different, according to the radiator guys one is a 6 cylinder holden and the other is V8 holden. both are from HQ to HX roughly but they both fit. You may have to redrill some hole, mine has a few different holes already.Both measure approx 68cm x50cm. Ricky

You're right about the hoses. Im just cross-eyed. The radiator is leaking from the bottom of the radiator itself, not the core, which is a bit odd. I chucked a nasty spare radiator in there for the time being, but will keep an eye out for a better long-term arrangement. My C210's have had a history of sweating a little at 110km/h on hot days.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
