Which radiator is which?

[NewKleer]

Hi guys

Recently the radiator on my RB25 Silvia died, and assuming it was an R33 radiator, i got a replacement radiator, which is presumably an R33 radiator also. The problem is, the replacement is a lot taller than the original, and the bonnet wont close due to the height, so i dont know which each radiator is from.

So im trying to work out which radiator is which. Ive attached three pics, first the original radiator, then both, then the replacement. If anyone can shed the light on which is which thatd be good.

Thanks

is the left one r32 and right one r33? would an r33 radiator fit in an r32? cause ive just spent money buying the right side one, so possibly could trade it for an r32 radiator? r33 ones are worth more arent they?

ive just spoken to the guy who supplied the radiator, he said the guys who did his conversion swapped the r33 radiator from halfcut with an r32 without telling him, so thats why he thought the r33 radiator would fit.

Some dimensions would help, height, width, thicknes.

height from lip->lip of the core on the left one is about 38cm, and lip->lip on the right hand side one was 40cm. in addition, the top tank is another 1cm or so taller on the right one.

thickness and width are the same for both, and id assume at least one of probably both are from either r32/r33, so i guess whatever standard size they are, though i could measure this if it helps.

noticable differences on the top tank is that the large radiator has a lopsided top, with the hose side being taller than non hose side, whereas on the smaller radiator is reasonably symmetrical
