Went for MOT today... costs... :-(
Uprated rad is always worth it and a must if you are turning the boost up. The rear cylinders on a Z can get very hot and is the number one cause of cooling related damage. The manual rad will work on an auto and even be an improvement. But you will also need to add an oil cooler as the oil flows through the water rad on an auto. Bear in mind you will need one for an uprated rad anyway, I might have an 8 row jap one kicking around somewhere.

best way to think about it is Spark + fuel + air + timing + compression = :) Work on the spark first, start at the end and work up, is there a spark from the plug? If not check the coil pack / connector, if not that ptu, before that is the cas (also timing). When you take the plug out is it wet with fuel? If not then injectors first, then fuel filter, lines, pump and last is the tank. (couldnt start mine for a week and found no fuel in the tank)! Its pretty unlikely you will have no air getting into the bores so we can rule that out (unless you blocked it for some reason). Timing - Cas is really the only thing that can be knocked out. Compression - well you can test for compression but unless 3 or more cylinders are shot it should start, same goes for spark, it will start on 5 maybe even 4.

Depend on your other mods / plans and budget I have a jap tt rad that you can have for £40 delivered, same as uk (manual) Uprated rads start around 200 quid but worth it if you are planning a lot of mods etc i have a koyo which gave me around a 3c drop in temps, comes into effect more when booting it.
