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!

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.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
