And to refer to what i said originally i was talking bout the cost of the brackets ' in my opinion' and not anything factual. so jus to ad 2 Result(s) for "300zx Radiator" - 300ZX Koyo Cooling RadiatorNarrow Results By Catalog Type AllStock ReplacementPerformance/Accessory Showing 1-2 of 2 Results Sort By: Best Match Price Low to High Price High to Low App: 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX Brand: Koyo Cooling Radiator Part#: W0133-1721976 Description: List Price: $471.63 Our Price: $190.95 You Save: $280.68 Availability: In Stock Usually Delivers in 2 to 3 days Engine-Fits1990-1996: Turbo; All Engines and here ..

im not saying its not worth £200 all in , i jus think that £50 for brackets is a bit steep. And it was said that the radiator is half price of a koya radiator , but when u consider it isnt when its costing only £50 less is it???? I would say for 2 brackets regardless of how they are cut still is expensive at that price. You wouldnt go to a car garage and buy a car for £10,000 to be told if you want wheels on it so you can use it ur gonna have to spend 1/3rd of that again which is basically the same percentage of the brackets. Just my opinion thats all. If something is gonna be sold then sell it as a whole and not in parts when there are required to make it fit correctly.

Hi dan £50 for brackets for the radiator?????wtf???? thats a bit like saying the radiator is good value until you come to fit it and then you will be charged a huge sum for 2pieces of metal to hold it in place which actually makes it not such a good deal after all ,considering in my opinion they should be supplied as part of the radiator package in the first place.

Hopefully there wont rot again, the wire wheel removes all the bad metal completely whether its bad on the inside or out, it rips apart bad metal leaving only good remaining. so they should last for years to come :rolleyes:

i used a wire wheel that goes on the angle grinder. It removes all the bad metal and just cleans up the good metal. Then i used p38 filler to get the shape sand roughly to shape and refill with a fie paste filler and sand with some 400-800 grit wet n dry paper.

have checked it all and touch wood there is now no rust at all on the drivers side. but once this side is done i will investigate the passenger side. hope thats not too bad.

Well done old chap. still got what it takes to keep taking the prize.

have got a bit further but still a lot of work left to do. bit by bit i will get there,lol also decided to smooth the doors at the bottom, damn it takes some time to get right and then do the wheel arch Some more prep work and then the side skirt can be fitted and smoothed into the side and then will nearly be ready for this side to be prepeped for painting.

are u sure???? a phrase from another thread from the guy who bought ur car "Well as you all know i purchased my zed from stella knowing its needing a new engine anyways. today the knocking got slightly louder(harder) and i think its over fueling as it is very very strong when driving the car, so i think its time to get some help and get it into a garage for work." zx engines are very unreliable when played with. just as mine and a load of others have proven to be without proper full rebuild work being done to make them reliable. becomes very expensive and alot of work.

looking really good there. gonna be another nice engine in another nice 300. cant wait to get mine back together with the parts i have got ready for it. just a few of the parts ready for the engine.

Thanks. Ave got some sheet steel and am gonna fabricate new sills and inner sill after i finish cutting out the rest of the rust. got a mate who is a machanic and welder and hes gonna help shape it and then weld it up for me. then gonna put my bomex side skirts on. got so much stuff to get to paint shop. Am hopefully gonna get some spraybooth time at a local paintshop( got a friend who works there) and gonna try do the spraying myself.

I got the pistons off andy duff but he doesnt know where there were from. he just said there was from a engine he had and the original rings were no good and he didnt have them. I think there are same spec as standard but just oversize in width.

well the zx has been off road for way too long now and while its been off road some t**t decided it was there right to climb on the back of the car and break the rear spoiler so last weekend i have been a bit busy with repairs. So on with a bit of fibreglassing back together And then some sanding(well quite a lot of sanding) and after a light coat of paint quite a good bit of weekend time spent on car. also had some rust so now have a huge hole in drivers side sill to repair so that should keep me busy for a while,lol

I have recently got myself some oversize pistons for the zx, but they have no rings on them. they are .02 oversize. can anyone please advise on the correct size rings to get for these and the correct size rebore required for the block so i can finally get my car back on the road again. thanks

If its at z tech then good luck buddy,lol. When you get it back go over what they have done with a fine tooth comb.

its not that bad, like doin a big piece jigsaw,lol. just got another two to do now,:eek:

Oh yeah i am,lol. I was running 18psi and drifting, i knew it was gonna go but who cares,haha. If you dont have fun in em then whats the point in having a zed??????

Yeah it did go up slightly but thats my own fault for not upgrading the rad when i upped the boost, hence i eventually blew the head gasket. But thats nothing to do with the fmic, it was purely becouse i rag the hell out of it while running high boost.

yeah i did. fitted it myself so i knew it was done right. get a lot better boost now than before and feels like it spools up a bit quicker too.

They are spot on. Is the same as one i put on my car last year.

learn to drift and when it steps out on you ride the fun powerslide all the way

can only go to a 3.1 with the engine tho can't ya??

mmmm do i buy a bonnet or ANOTHER car,lol

so what ave they done to the engine then???????? cos i know my engine is a 3ltr and so is most of yours if u havent had it bored out. Powered by a highly strung 3.5-litre V6 engine, the E-Vade will output up to 500kW of power Powered by a highly strung 3.5-litre V6 engine???????????

looking really good. but before ytou go any further may be a good idea to try and make it in sections that can be pulled out cos if you ever need to change a rear bulb its gonna be a timely task to get to your lights,lol
