HELP!! Water leak from radiator!

[kara]

I've got an almera radiator on my k11.. Theres a leak because it's catching the alternator on the engine... Anyone know what other radiators would sit in a micra without any modifications. I've tried a civic rad but no luck. All help appreciated thanks guys

 

[kara]

Anyone???

Anyone???

i think we,re all running stock rads, why is it not sufficient ?

 

[kara]

Cause I've got an sr20 in mine

Does an SR20 rad not fit?

 

[will930]

why not use another rad the same as yours! and then mount it bit furthur forward! taking into account the movement of the engine? that seems to be the hassle free method in my head

 

[kara]

It does fit but it catches on the alternator which then ends up slowly making a hole and then eventually a water leak.. Ive change the rad 3 times and also tried a GA radiator of a 1.5 almera

has it got the n15 cross member welded on kara ?

 

[will930]

as said move the rad forward more? so it has more clearance? or is it already falling out the front?

 

[kara]

No it's the standard micra one

 

[frank]

No it's the standard micra one

might be an option then eh

 

[kara]

Wats the option

 

[frank]

Wats the option

to cut the k11 one off and fit the N15 one ( like dave bull did ) i would hazard a guess that if gives more engine/rad clearance

 

[kara]

Hmmm ok il give it a shot would a standard micra rad cope with a sr20

 

[frank]

would a standard micra rad cope with a sr20

with general driving, i guess so
if you rag it, i doubt it
