Radiator Differences?

[johnabs]

Hey,

i got an r33 series 2 and my radiator is leaking. I was wondering if auto or manual radiators would make a difference becuase i think they are the same. Would a GTT or GTR radiator git in without mods. i just want to straight swap but personally rather a r33 s2 one.

thanks

auto and manual radiators are different. at radiator got transmission oil cooling section in the bottom tank.

you can use auto radiator in a manual car, but you can`t use manual radiator in auto, or you need to fit a standalone cooler for transmission oil.

what stronzo said. AT ones have a built in tranny cooler section.

As the above guys mentioned about compatability.

One thing though, you havent said where the leak is coming from .... Tanks Or core !

I split the top plastic header tank in mine (Gtr r32) and Natrad came to the party having the tanks in stock. They sweated it off, replaced it and gave me an australia wide guareentee Much better peice of mind for my Rb than a secondhandie....

ish, how much did that cost if you don' tmind me asking. I've always found natrad to be quite pricey in the pricing department. I had to get a radiator for my daily driver - split an end tank. They were keen in selling me a radiator saying that they didn't have a tank that just fit the oem radiator. radiator costed $550!!!

Not a big fan - the quality is fairly ordinary too - it's already rusting and the paint is peeling

Sorry mate have been a bit scarce here lately :laughing-smiley-014:

The repair was $342 which included removal, new tank, tank sweating off/on, reinstall, Flush, coolant and the Aus wide warranty.

I spose it would depend a bit on the franchise owner but i was pleasantly surprised by my local guy.
