Top is just plastic. It can easily be replaced and the core cleaned out. Go to a radiator repair shop in the first instance and get some prices for a thicker radiator or if you want to pay more go to the usual speed equipment sources ( see the dealers in the skyline section) or buy from Japan through nengun or Import Monster etc.

I got a R33 GTR 52mm ISC rad for mine, fitted perfect and seems good quality, had to get the bottom fitting for the water temp sensor re-threaded other then that happy.

I couldnt see the RWD and AWD rads being different, just the auto's have the tans cooler in the core to, so if you go aftermarket budget for a trans cooler.

going to get a a second stock one from chook so i will have 2 coolers should work fine as i have already move the one i have to the right hand front so it gets full air intake now

i will just make up new lines to go to the other one and have it on the left hand side

i broke the top pipe on the patrol it was a plastic tank also.i couldnt get it replaced and had to buy new radiator.i wont tell u what nissan charged me grrrrrrrr.was pissed off too cos some flamin mongrel had just reconditioned it ie new core.and he did clamp up on the ridge in the pipe therefore cracked it .proving it was impossible as i had to refit it to get home after it blew off.

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
