Hi Guys,
Having a bit of a struggle here finding an all Alloy radiator for my M35 Series 1 Stagea with the VQ25DET Engine.
Current one is weeping a little, and i suspect is also partially blocked, as on a really really hot day, (eg 40c), climbing the switchback road near me (if your in the Blue Mts, and you know the back way from Emu plains to Blaxland, you will know what i'm referring to) which has some steep sections will get her hot if i stick my foot into it. Haven't actually boiled over yet, but I have seen that gauge move up pretty high from normal. At all other times everything is fine, but i'd like to proactively replace the rad with a better one.
From my searching on the forums, it looks like what i need is an Alloy rad to Suit a "4 Door" V35 Skyline, (~686 - 688mm core width), as these should directly drop in, However all i can currently find are either the OEM Style, Single row units to suit the car, or 730mm Wide alloy units for other V35's that require modification to fit (im not sure quite what is involved here).
Many of the items or links listed in these posts from years ago are either invalid and/or no longer available.
Is anyone able to provide guidance as to Currently available full alloy radiators that will Suit an S1 Turbo Stag with Auto Trans?
If i need to move to an external trans cooler to get this to happen, i'm quite happy to do so.
Also, does any also know where to source a replacement upper fan shroud? one of the mounting tabs on my should, near the filler neck broke recently i've noticed, so the shroud is a tad loose.
Thanks
- Al.
