You know about my leaking rad by now - and may know I have purchased a pattern one, which my local garage is fitting...

 

Well, the garage called me today, to say the new rad is not the same - mine has (apparently) 6 pipes coming off of it, but the new one only has connections for 4.

 

As far as I knew, there should be 2 big ones (top and bottom main hoses) and the 2 small ones on the side, for the auto transmission cooler. I have not counted the expansion tank, before anyone says anything!

 

The online service manual - and every picture of an OEM auto-trans radiator I have seen - all show only the 4 pipe connectors. Does anyone have an idea what the other 2 are? I'm popping along after work to see what he's talking about....

That is brilliant - thanks Andrew, you're a star...:bow:

 

The UK spec radiator is now discontinued; as confirmed by Mike Feeney, two local Nissan dealerships and Courtesy Nissan in the US. I was then wondering how to deal with the pipework, if I went for something like the Mishimito rad and oil cooler upgrade.... And your diagram provided the answer!!

So you shall be using the 2 input one you have already got and just replacing hoses 4 & 8 to extend to the 2 connectors on the radiator. Then doing away with part 7......??
