Radiator upgrade?

[WongFeiHung]

I have a N/A KA, im a pretty mild daily driver, but on event days and parking lots I really get on it...How important/beneficial is a radiator upgrade?

For an affordable upgrade, you might look for a 74' 260Z radiator, they run about 130 bucks and are about 3 times as thick. They require you make new brackets, but for the price you really cant beat them. Also, the outlet routing has to be redone, but it's not too difficult. They are 2 5/8 inch thick, 3 core. The 240 radiator is only 5/8 thick, with a single core I dunno how important it'd be for you, but man...the price is right! I'm about to order one myself

Where is a good place to order the rad for the 260Z. How many other people have done this?

Beats me, I've heard word that the auto radiator is thicker. I also know there are several people running the 260Z radiators, if you just do a google search for them, you should find a lot right around 130 bucks.

Plastic?

[Nathan]

Plastic end tanks, and I'm guessing a copper core, I know it's not aluminum at that price.

Bolts in w/o mods to the fan shroud or anything??

[WongFeiHung]

Shawn, or u can just call me Kato. Wouldnt start for awhile because of the timing...finally got it and it ran great, on the test drive the radiator blew...It had a crack before that we fixed, busted in the same spot...
