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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
