whats the best place to get a new radiator?

 

not sure about the best place to get one, but look in the dealer/group deals sub forum and theres someone offering radiators in there

 

yah, i just went straight to that section after i posted this. theres a koyo for 140 shipped. sweet deal. i'll also be ordering breaks from the same place.

 

Radiatorbarn.com, it was $126.53 for a new radiator with a lifetime warranty. Its where I got mine and i had no problems.

 

radiatorbarn.com is the best. cheapest price with great product and support. going through them was great and i got it cheaper than ebay products.

it was easy to install too! i got a two row radiator, its abit thicker but probably wont be a problem unless your working on the alternator.

 

Anyone know where i can get the reservoir tank and hose to the radiator as well?

at radiator barn you get a TWO ROW all metal constructed radiator for $131.53

that koyo is only single row oem size same metal construction for more money and hasel (depending on how the dealer works).

in my opinion a koyo is great IF you get the advanced radiators - the oems are all the same and only differ between one row and two rows, and the end caps (some have plastic, and some are all metal construction).

 

FYI...aluminum rads cool better

 

What is the radiator made of? Aluminum or Copper???

You know how much it weighs?

 

i just got one, but from nissan. its aluminum i beleive and the top bank is plastic which i think is cheaply made. i would stick to the all metal ones if i were you. i cracked my plastic one while working on the car i had the hood help open with a 2 by 4 and a strong wind knocked the wood down(as strange as that may seem)and the hood came crashing down and bye bye radiator...in a nut shell replace those damn blown hood struts if yours are shot.

 

The one from nissan are a little expensive. I feel you on the hood struts. I replaced mine over a year ago and the been lasting.
