Installed my R33 S2 auto radiator into my mums stagea series 1 with no issues and got myself a shiny allow one since I dont need the auto radiator anymore.

So from experience the R33 radiator works fine in the series 1 stagea.

Yeah I wanna keep the cooler though, I have been on the look out for a standard 33/34 auto rad. I think the core is 25mm thick and I could retain the cooler/warmer. I had no luck getting second hand ones so I was gonna get one off eBay but for the price chuckie got his seems like the better option.

I just picked up a factory replacement koyo radiator for 350 will put it in this weekend and see how things go, it's allso automatic, couldnt be bothered going bigger then adding warmer/cooler and the fact that the factory koyo is half the price of the full aluminum rads.

Hi guys, my apologies, they blocked access from work and I was fairly busy recently (and bloody card reader stopped working !!)

Any way, as guys said, I got it from John for around $400 fitted with warranty. Cooling system flushed, new coolant, all checked. It almost twice as thick as the old one .. but look at the pics, they speak for themselves.

I'm happy. IF I KNEW how thin was the old one, I'd change it long time ago - every now and then I go up north and I've seen +48.5 outside, going 100+ (well.. ++ :-)), loaded car, aircon on... I'll feel much better from now one..

Probably we could the radiator slightly cheaper, but I'd agree - for extra $50 someone does all the work + coolant + flush + testing + warranty + running around. $50 well spent.

    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
