R32 Gtr Radiator $$ ?

[mr skidz]

Has anyone bought a genuine Nissan R32 GTR Radiator lately, if so what are they worth?

I bought a oe replacement koyo Radiator and it turns out to be fake.

I'm all over it lol

Unnecessary pain in the ass.

What do you mean fake?

I've bought 2 Koyos in the last 2 years for two cars and they are fine.

They look identical to the OEM Nissan ones just without the NISSAN Logo.

You may have bought a GTS one for an automatic which I believe is different.

Paid $275.00 each for them each .......

New ones are ridiculous - https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2141004u01

wow that's $1071. aus

No, I did get the manual one it is identical but the thing came in a "koyorad Radiator box which had been opened previously"

then sticky taped up for me.

It says it's made in Indonesia?

Has a "adrad" branded sticker on the box?

I was also of the opinion that these are still made in Japan or is that incorrect?

And I thought there would be a little "koyorad" impression on the radiator somewhere, bit like the aluminium ones do on the top of the tank where the filler is.

I'll take a photo of it a bit later

Have you tried it? There are no Koyorad logos from memory.

Natrad is the retailer....... http://www.natrad.com.au/?gclid=CNaum6u7tskCFQwlvQod05AEzw

I think Indonesia sounds right. Especially at the price I paid.

Try it, it may fit and be correct.

no haven't tried it yet, it is identical & it will be fine it's just the way I received it in the box that was leading me to suggest shenanigans had taken place at my expense.

Cheers guys

Koyorad had factories in Japan, China and Indonesia.

From their website : http://www.koyorad.com/faq.asp

Where are Koyorad radiators manufactured?
Koyo manufactures four different types of radiators:

1. OE Aftermarket Plastic Tanks/Aluminum Cores (most common)
   Design: Japan and China
   Manufacturing: Indonesia and China
2. OE Aftermarket All Aluminum (Toyota Sienna, Lexus RX, etc)
   Design: Japan
   Manufactured: Indonesia or China
3. OE Aftermarket Copper / Brass (select vehicles)
   Design: Japan
   Manufacturing: Indonesia
4. Racing All Aluminum Radiators (select performance vehicles)
   Design: Japan and Indonesia
   Manufacturing: Japan and Indonesia

Koyo’s R&D departments complete engineering diagrams for each new application. These engineering drawings are then sent to our privately owned ISO-9001 certified factories. Each Koyo radiator is leak tested a total of three times at different stages of the production process before a final visual inspection. Our attention to detail extends further to our rigid boxes, inlet/outlet/corner protection, assuring Koyorad product arrives safely to the end user. Additionally, Koyo conducts “Koyo Training Exchange” programs between our Japan, Indonesia, and China plants from 3 months to a year in the study of Japanese workmanship. This program further ensures the delivery of exceptional Japanese quality to the end user.
