Bran New Radiator

[Cubes]

Well ppls You don't want to buy a Genuine Nissan R32 GTS-T Radiator.

Sit down... $935.. OUCH.

Anyhow NATRAD Radiators can replace top tanks etc.

I discovered that my top radiator hose was a little loose.

I soon realised that the plastic where the hose slides over had collapsed.

Natrad radiators quoted:

$145 for the Radiator & Motor flush/Rod/pressure test & Thermostat inspection Test.

$95 for the Top tank that is aftermarket, the aftermarket is apparently better due to the plastic quality and thickness.

----

Autobarn also can get the Radiator hoses for these From GAtes.

Top hose is $19 and the Bottom hose is $30.

Thermostat. I bought one from Motor mates as the ones from the VL are the same. BUT.. it is a dodgy one as it doesn't close properly and the car in cooler weather doesn't heat up.

So I'm going to buy a Nissan One for $48. The VL one was $24.

Total Price is going to be $335.

AND.. my bleeder nipple has crossthreaded its self due to undoing it when the metal is really hot (soft).

And ppls don't use anything like gasket goo on the bleed nipple to stop any possible air leaks when troubleshooting.

That is probably what made it cross thread.

I brought mine for a bit more than that price, and it's a heaps bigger one. How many other places did you get a quote at?

Fark u got ripped...

When my water pump died, it decided to bust and pump the fan into the radiator core...needles to say it got ****ed. I got a new genuine gtr radiator for $620 or so.

I got that quote from Nissan.

Where did you get yours? Nissan?

I havn't bought a radiator so I havn't been ripped..

Must be an idiot behind the counter.

I'm going to replace the top tank.

Mines an aftermarket one. OEM it too tiny for my liking. I expect that sort of price from Nissan anyway (f***n rip off). Good to see atleast it's not 900 bucks to fix!

[Cubes]

What aftermarket one?? Name? Where did you get it?

Joel i got a brand new radiator for my car as the top tank was stuffed, it cost me $320 inc GST, from the mob down the road who looked after me. It is the same as stock just has more cooling fins.

PWR ones are about $650 trade price for a 38mm core full alloy radiator.

[Cubes]

I still can't belive $900+ for a crappy thin standard radiator.

Where on earth do they get these prices from.

[Clint32]

Just for fun one day i might ask them how much a new RB26 is, probably buy a 32gtr for the same price.

Mines a PWR one. I chose it over the Adrad one cause it's all aluminium construction. Got it from MacArthur radiators in Minto.

Silver... how much did the PWR radiator cost you all together? Is it possible for a raditor to brak due to big impacts... I went over a big median strip yesterday... just need to know cose of dealer warranty see if its not my fault...

[Silver-Arrowz]

It costed about $1000. It's a pretty full on unit cause I take the car to the race track. But you can get a cheaper and more efficent than OEM made up for half the price.
