Alloy Radiator

[StreetFame33]

Hey,

I just bought myself a Alloy Radiator for a R33 GTST, not knowing that the two lines that were on the standard radiator aren't at the bottom of the alloy radiator - transmission/oil cooler?

What can I do to fix this issue?

I'm assuming that your current car is an auto?

If this is the case, you'll need to purchase an auto radiator or hook in an external transmission cooler.

It would be cheaper and easier to get the right radiator.

The line runs through the radiator to heat up the transmission oil to avoid damage.

The majority of turbo auto's are equipped with an oil cooler.

It is not absolutely necessary and you will be hard pressed to find an aftermarket radiator that caters for the auto setup.

Just don't go too hard on the gearbox for a few minutes of normal driving until temps are up.

The alternative is to remove the lower tank, have someone weld in a line and weld the tank back on or use the standard or have the standard one modified for larger capacity, as it is the tanks are capable of having a larger core.
