Shes Cracked

[gleeson]

hi guys the temp went up on the m35 today and i found a crack in the radiator,anybody know the part number or one that fits?I'm in Melbourne and i need one fast!

a 2.5L V35 radiator will fit perfectly.

a 3.5L V35 one will fit, with some slight cutting.

dont bother looking for a new one the same, it will eventually fail again.

either get a radiator shop to make up alloy tanks, or find an aftermarket one for the above models.

no, a Z33 radiator will not fit without moving the radiator cap location.

In SA mate..

[gleeson]

ill speak to my radiator guy and ask him about it if you like.could be good for a spare.what model is it from?

In SA mate..

[jasevr4]

From an M35. Needs a new o-ring which the guys on here tell me is about $140 worth.

If you're looking at chucking it let me know and I'll store it for you. Be easier to get one made from a spare than from the one in the car...

Well that's what I was thinking. If someone has a slow leaking o-ring like mine was, they can repair this one and swap it out in a day rather than pulling it out, having it fixed, and then putting it back in.

If the process continues, it can be a community radiator of sorts.

I was more thinking of doing what some of the guys have been, and getting a custom alloy radiator to fit, using the stocker as a template.

[jasevr4]

Even better. You're more than welcome to use it..

My mate is having Race Radiators make one up for his V35 at the moment using my OEM radiator as the template with a PWR trans cooler included.

I am sure they would be prepared to make up another one so the timing could be good.

Let me know if you want one.

Email sent - sounds very interesting.

Although I am tempted to leave it until it dies, since its shown no signs of issues so far. Should pressure test it I guess.

sounds good,do you know how much that would cost? the guy im using can get a new stock one for $880 from Nissan so all up it will cost about $1300

Dude a replacement plastic Koyo is only $430 or something. $880 is ridiculous.

[gleeson]

where do you find them?
