SA radiator upgrade
So shortly after installing the dcd's in my 7, the stock radiator started leaking. One of the projects I had in mind when I got the car was to change the radiator to a modern aluminium one, however I sort of wanted to be able to do it later rather than sooner. So, here's the start of the build. The replacement radiator is for a Nissan pathfinder, and has a 26x17 in core. Also both hoses are on the right side. I got it for $54 including shipping from eBay, and it weighs 9lbs. Size comparison:
the cardboard is there to protect the fins while I get it mounted. Here are the test fit pics:
the bungee cords are holding up the front right now.

mines is also mounted the same, just going in the other direction...check out my drag signature...
I used a FC rad as well...from koyo...i cut it in half added new intanks and an fittings...I couldn't weld it at my house, so my friend did the work for me...Other wise i would have done it myself...But it works super duper great, and since its track only, i wanted air to hit the Rad and the motor at the same time...I run cold at 168ish degree's or so...with a E-Fan...no thermo, and custom over flow...
Don't stop what your doing...but you might want to go with a koyo so you can relocate the inlets and outlets for pipe purpose...thats my only thing...
