3. what do they go for at wreckers?

Lol poor radiator!

Intercooler looks like it will do much more work than your old one!

ahh..stupid caps..thanks.

yeah it will if i ever get it bloody on there..haha

I dont think a bottle of stop leak will fix that! Haha

PS: If you wan a second hand radiator, it has to be from either a super s, or a micra which had aircon fitted from the FACTORY. They had thicker radiators than the LX/SLX which had aircon fitted here in Aus. Down at my local wreckers, out of micras they have 2 different types of radiators. One is 16mm wide and the other is about 20mm wide. So thats what i figure...

You might find yourself getting a little warm with the thinner radiator.

I hope this helps and doesnt make it too hard to find the radiator you are after!

Even if I don't have aircon are the super-s radiators thicker?

Interesting..

Mine's bashed out a bit for my dump pipe to fit..

Thanks will look into it.

My (well only mine for another 2 days) series 2 LX with a/c fitted from factory doesn't have the larger radiator

Great leak photo mate.

Ahh that sucks. Having to mod your radiator. That's what I had. I cracked the ****s and pulled the whole situation apart and hence the new manifold and dump so I can just bolt on any radiator.

The moron who designed my previous system designed the pipework without the radiator fitted. How lame can you be.

sorry going OT there, soo that little tiny back cooler was your old one which you got the dyno figures on? interesting to see the difference, how noticeable it is in daily driving or only on the final dyno figure,
