So on Wednesday morning I notice a couple puffs of steam coming up from hood (it was like three small ones), after work I checked and notice that the reservoir was almost empty and moisture around the top of radiator where metal and plastic meet, anyways on Friday I stopped by two shops just to confirm that I need to replace it & how much $$ & got two answers, one shop that I've heard good stuff about said that I definitely need a radiator asap and that it'll take about an 1 1/2hrs to install, other shop that had "King or Crown Radiator" in their sign said that it'll take 5.5 to 6hrs and it'll cost $469.
I've gone around fleebay and seen em go for $50bucks through $110+s&H, Has any one got one of those and what's your feedback or should I just get one from local auto part stores here in Los Angeles area?.
I've seen a video on youtube about a guy that replace one on his 4th gen and it seem very easy to do and something that would take under an hour when car is cold so I think that's something I would want to do next saturday.

Very easy. Buy one off the net for no more than around $100. Rockauto.com is a trusted place. On eBay, I see them for around 45 bucks but they jacked up the shipping to $30, while the $80 Rockauto one will only costs me ~10 bucks to ship.

An OEM quality radiator will be in the $100-165 range and some of them are all metal to boot. Call around town, I know Advance Auto had one in stock for my son's Accord for $108 with a lifetime warranty.

Not a particularly hard job either, shouldn't take you more than 2 hours even if you've never changed one.

i got one from here a couple of months ago and has worked out fine so far. I got the koyo brand and the shipping wasn't bad at all.

I bought a Visteon high efficiency radiator for a little under $100. Installation was 1,2,3. Took less than 1 hour. Give it a shot, save some money. Oh yeah and it has a lifetime warranty.

Because I need it for this weekend I bought it of this place I found on yellow pages for $130 with same day delivery but since I order it close to 5pm they promise to have it by 9 next day.
I had done a radiator flush over a year ago and filled it with toyota's red anti & for some reason I'm thinking that messed up my ride cause about six months into it I notice the reservoir tank was disintegrating from top corner & I had to replace it, long story short I follow instructions on flush and did half & half to refill it & I have to say I never saw my car over heat but now I want to go back to nissan's anti & was wondering if it's mixed already or do we have to do the half & half?
