M35 Custom Radiator

[iamhe77]

So I was driving with a mate to my brother's place on Saturday when I noticed the temp needle getting too friendly with the "H".

Pulled over to see coolant leaking from the top of the radiator AND from the bottom but couldn't see and holes/splits.

Hovered around 40kph (gave enough airflow to bring needle down to normal op temp) back to mates place.

On the way back from Bro's house, picked up some Chem-i-weld from Autobarn, filled up radiator with water & added Chem-i-weld as instructed.

Drove home (10mins) with no leaks.

tested the car on Sunday and still no leaks, even today there are no leaks (touch wood).

BUT, i know this is a band-aid fix, so I checked FAST. NM35 radiator part #21460−AQ800

Nissan price $786.

PWR custom ~$1k

Purchased Yahoo Auctions (via Import Monster) $498 delivered for a NEW one but with the normal 8 week wait.

hmm, anyone know of a GOOD radiator shop in Melbourne's SE.

Not sure I want to "repair" due to the Chem-i-Weld that is in there, but it looks like buying new is just waaaayyyy too expensive.

A couple of months ago I had the top tank in the radiator crack.....cost me $190 to get it all fixed.....I also priced a new radiator from Hornsby Nissan.....$405 approx delivered(10 days delivery).....what Nissan dealer did you go to? Did you want me to confirm the price?

P.S. If the price is right I can pick it up and send it via TNT if you want

Just got off the phone with Ferntree Gully Nissan, must have changed their Parts guys, quoted me $620.

Can you confirm the price & let me know how much to send it down?

I think that I will also get a quote for repair, although if top & bottom tank have cracks....

OK.....with tax's it is $532(sorry for the miss calculation before....I didn't include the tax's)......shipping via TNT to you from me is about $20 on road express. I just PM'd my number to you. If you want to go ahead with it give me a call.

cheers

hmmm.... Very interesting.

Wold that mean that the M35/V35 radiator is the same as the Z33 350z?

maybe....maybe not....the core is probably the same but.....it's all the mounts and input/output lines for the radiator/gearbox that will be different.
