yeh that wont be happening. i bought badges from some scrag in kuwait and they are the wrong colour and mounting pins are wrong. so iffy about buying via the internet now

ah ok, well my origional radiator isnt like that at all. its just a "stumpy" ahah. Few of dads mates are top clas welders so i might get them to run a bead around the tube as a flange. if thats the way i decide to go. ive found another one, which is a flat top, for the same price, i emailed them about demenions and they havnt got back to me. i emailed ARE cooling, got a quote for $1170 for a custom made one.

yeh man ive already emailed them about that. although i cant see why i couldnt just "cut it off" before the bend. not to butcher it, but the pipe on the c210 radiator is only about 2 inches long, so im assuming on the 280z one, i could just shorten it before the bend. and im not sure if i want the slanted one! personally i think a flat top one would look better.

yeh but what do you think of the "look" of the slanted top tank. i thnk its only like that due to the zed cars bonnet comming down on a big slant. but i think it may look cool under the bonnet anyways??

http://datsunpartsllc.com/cart/index.php?p=product&id=97&parent=24 this radiator has the same dimensions as my origional c210 radiator. personal opinion on the "slanted" top tank?

ok man, thanks. i just wrote down the dimensions of my origional c210 radiator. so ill see if the zeds match up

ive got the overall measurements for it, they have them on the website. im gonna go measure my old blown out c210 radiator i have in the shed. and compare the too. i cant see how they would be too different. you got any ideas where i could get a c210 aluminium one?

i was pretty keen on the aluminium ones. i like the look of them and seeing as much car is going to fully restored, id like that look under the bonnet. ive got a 240k radiator in it atm, sime slight mods to get it to fit. whats the difference with the 280z radiators?

also, ive read about aluminium radiators making the engine run too cool, resulting in loss of power.. anybody give me a insight into this?

hey guys, just wondering if a 280z radiator will fit straight into my c210? same bolt/mounting holes etc. found a relatively cheap alluminium one online. thanks. kev

I dont thnk there is a problem trying to make my car JDM, after all, a nissan skyline is Japanese, the car looks better in its full JDM state rather than the AUS version with choc block tail lights,a "datsun" badge over the rear center garnish and GL badges. In my opinion im just putting the car back to what it realisticly, and numbers wise actually IS. I dont see how being picky and pedantic about the overall finish of my car, down to the badge coloursis a bad thing? Seeing as im spending alot of time/effort on this car, ill make it as close to PERFCT as i can?

so thats deffinately how the cars came out? blue on the steering wheel = blue/white red on the steering wheel = red/white?

correction, blue on the steering wheel, not black

hi mate, Yes, ive got the S with the black background on my steering wheel. also i have the grill "S" badge and the S that is in the center hub cap for the wheels which are all also blue. do you have any idea what the colours mean?
