First of all. Hi :wavey: from australia. New to this forum so hopefully ill blend right in!
Im currently looking for a radiator for my s13 with a rb25 in it. Im wanting to run a clutch fan and looking at getting a radiator thatll fit underneath the rad support. Any radiators except for a custom made that will fit? If worse comes to worse ill modify the support. So far ive found this but not sure if there will be enough flow with the 6 cyl. Cheers!

Btw! I have searched not much apart from s14 and modifying the support.

Welcome to NICO and congrats on the car!

As far as I know, most of any aftermarket radiator for the S13 chassis should work out. Take a peek at our Marketplace in the tabs above and see if there are any vendors with a product to match your needs. Be sure to mention NICO and get yourself a discount!

Is there any particular reason you want it to fit under the core support? You'll have to fabricate some brackets for it, and make sure the upper hose doesn't rub against anything. Your hose clamp will be more inaccessible as well, and you may need custom hoses (radiator will be farther away).

Thanks for the input guys. Will look at t her advertisers to see if they have anything my size.
Im looking at fiting it under the rad support so I dont have to cut into the rad support to fit the radiator and clutch fan! Car is still going to be street registered so the less illegal it looks the better. Custom mounts etc doesnt bother me as long as it looks clean and doesnt look suspicious. Haha

Nothing illegal about having a shiny radiator. You could also ditch the cluth fan and go with electric fans.

It Is Illegal to cut into the support however. Ive thought about a tube front but thats also illegal. Ive got my mind set on a clutch fan haha ive run thermos before and I didnt like it.
