Still having loads of probs with my rad. An absolute pill to remove. Couldn't get at the auto box cooler pipes v easily. Was quted £100.00 for a replacement and although right year etc it was totaly different. Is there much difference between jap and uk spec???

I think you may have been supplied a N/A radiator instead of a TT radiator (or vice versa) That is the only difference in radiators - well, that's not entirely true. Jap spec radiators incorporate the autobox cooler in the end tanks - UK spec radiators do not have this as they use a separate cooler.

 

If you have a jap spec auto TT it is strongly suggested that you mount a separate autobox cooler somewhere in front of the main radiator. This will allow for far more efficient cooling of the autobox oil and also allow the main radiator to operate more efficiently (as it doesn't have to cool the autobox oil as well).

 

Like Greg said, have a look in the for sale section or phone one of the breakers on this forum - they are bound to have spare radiators for far less money than a brand new one from Nissan.

 

Alternatively, purchase a Koyo radiator and an autobox cooler and you won't have any problems again ...
