Default Radiator is gone...

I have just replaced the t-stat, temp sensor, and noticed that my old (plastic tanked ) radiator is showing signs of weeping at the crimps. sigh. 10 degrees outside, and the summer toys (300zx, zx10) are hogging the garage.

Couldn't have failed at a better time with the holiday's approaching....

anyone know of a decent priced radiator out there? any sites for the best price/shipping

Thanks.

Default You're not alone...

misery loves company.

I hear the all-metal aftermarket radiator is NLA.
I'm going to try some leak sealer to get me through the cold months. Hope it works.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/v8/msgs/65669.phtml">it never ends....</a></li></ul>

Default I just got an all metal one 1 month ago, $130 US

I bought it from a friend who owns a radiator shop.

Default Sure, I'll give him a call tomorrow, all receipt says is #199D.

I remember it was made in China(took that sticker off), but looked to be very well made and fitment was perfect.
