I am the mother of a 1990 Skyline GTR owner and I joined this site because I am hoping to find out information from other skyline owners that will help me help my son with his car..... (i help him support it......lol). We live in BC Canada - up in the Okanagan.
Right now, we are having a radiator issue. The plastic rad is leaking and when I checked with a partsman in Vancouver, he told me that Part #214004U01 (stock radiator) is out of production! So can anyone help me? Is there an aftermarket rad that fits? maybe aluminum? is there a source for gently used parts?
Sure hope for some answers - - he truly loves this car.

Welcome Jayne! You can take what TMS gives you as gospel when it comes to Skylines. I hope you get your problem worked out.

Thanks to the information, I have already located a shop that is willing to order the rad recommended by TMS. I am so very glad I found this site - I am sure it will prove to be a valuable resource in my continued support of my son's skyline.....lol.

Gee, a 1990 R32 with a cracked, leaking top cap......if I lived in Canada, I'd swear you were MY mom and just running a year late.
I solved the identical problem with a Koyorad (Koyo) radiator....best quality for the money, I found. (I paid $485, including shipping...just gotta shop around for the best price)
That No Limit link above does seem like a good price, though....can't deny it.
