New rad came with a cap rating of 0.9 where as old cap has 1.2 has the spec changed, should I stick with the original cap rating of 1.2?

Ok just replaced ratiator, will fit separate oil cooler when i get the chance later. Presume there is no need to bleed the autobox that circulates through the rad, made sure I didnt loose much if any fluid when changing rad, will check the levels as per manual when i warm the car up next. Dead easy and quick job cant belive nissan wanted 2 hrs labour when it only took me an hour. :nono:

Does it need to be peanut oil, how about olive oil or seasseme seed oil all out peanut oil :duffer:

Anyone know where to get a Howe radiator in the uk.

Hi guys thanx for all your help so far. Took the top hose off last night seems to be the plastic housing the holds the rad and conects the pipes on the top left thats the problem. The clip must have been overtightened over the years and the plastic nozzle that the top hose connects to is perished and has big lump missing. Presume this is intergral to the rad and will still therefore require a new rad or is it a separate part altogether?????????????

Yes its a jap import, not sure about an aftermarket oil cooler, there are a couple of smaller pipes coming of the rad on the righthand side as i face the car. Heard a lot about Koyo rads but could find much on the web do they make one with the intergrate autobox cooler or do you have to fit the aftermarket job. Any links you could let me have would be good.

Tried the dealer in malton looking for about £475 and will have to order rad so could be a while. Have tried other rad specialist including 24/7 spares and can get a replacement new rad for £165 which will need me to sort the fitting. Cheapy rads ok or are they more trouble that there worth? anyone know where I will find fitting guidance

Hi Guys just bought a 300zx import, so in a steep learning curve. Unfortunately got the car home and now notice the rads gone leaking from the bottom even when standing cold. Private sale so no comeback there. I need to get it fixed, being checking some threads out, its an auto tt import 94 not sure if anyone could guide me through who and where to take the car to. Im in york is there anyone close by dont want to drive the car far given the problem.

Hi Guys looking to buy a 300TT, looked at a 1994 import this morning L73 OEO, looks and drives good checked all the usual stuff no smoke quiet engine good boost and oil pressure ok, brakes and stearing good, interior very good and done only 60k. Bit concerned as I spotted it on ebay it has been painted at least on the rear aches and these are now just starting to bubble in one or two places. Presume this is fairly standard on a car this age, what else should i be checking out. Looking to spend between 3 - 4 k on a very standard spec car.

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a bit of help on purchasing a standard 300 zx non turbo targa 2+2, £2.5 -3.5k. What should I look out for other than usual good SH regular oil changes. Seem to be lots of imports (fairlady) out there, these seem to come with no service history are there any other down sides to these.
