hi guys had a few problems with my car water leaks galore picked a tt rad cheap enough but car is an Na, i know i need new top mounts for the rad but whats the best way of moding the lower brackets to support the tt rad

 

cheers guys

best thing to do is fit an na radiator as the na one is alot wider but thinner !

but the T/t rad has a bigger cappacity so better cooling i have found a handy pic from an american site basically you weld in 2 washers and drill out the centre and cut off the old mounting points, looking at getting a ash spec rad once he has mad them so doing the work now can save me alot off hassle i just need to get the top rad mounts, will be having a go this weekend

 

Na radiator is better at cooling as it has a bigger surface area, sell the tt rad and buy an na rad!

I sourced a new radiator in Feb this year, suitable for a 300zx NA from Applied Radiators Stoke On Trent. I paid around £95ish delivered listed at £79. It is listed as a Nissan Maxima N1391 but is identical to a NA! All you have to do is drill 4 holes for the plastic surround self tapping fixings. It even had 300zx on the box. They were not aware of it at the time, but I now see the list price has gone up to £118.15. This is still reasonable as I got quoted £235-250!

It is an excellent spanking new product, shame the same can't be said for propshafts!!

My NA rad went and put UK TT rad in with seperate Autobox cooler, straight swop. except for hose cons to cooler. Try Andy zed for bits.

It is not a straight swap :confused:

It must be LOL :hyper:

I can assure you it was. bigger rad as auto cooler seperate at bottom and not intergral within rad. I am talking na auto for uk tt auto. no probs.

the mounting points are different ! but it will go in but just wont be secure thats all.

I did this about 3 years ago, and really cant remember any serious problems, certainly did not have to move or refix any mountings. been fine since!

no it wouldn't of been a problem just the mounts are different but it will do the job but you cant put n/a into TT

well only prob is i need to sort out my leak before wednesday (going on a long run) and as i have the tt rad its going in will post pics of the process if ya want

cool let us know !

well i wonder if you got a sep oil cooler then no reason why not off course you will have to make the mounts but should work in theory but there would be no point

well guys its in and done will post up the pics tommorrow took a while but all good now no leaks just pure pressure
