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.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
