i dont think it means is "super duper JDM". it has to do with my "BOV question" that i KNOW you posted on. and if you haven't noticed, i have a CA, not an SR..if i thought "SR" was super JDM, i would've bought one of those

Get a GTR radiator, the outlet is on the correct side, or an oil cooler.

like an 89-93 Skyline one like this? http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/me...=RDNS

im most likely banking on the oil cooler, but float said something about running a thermostat with one in another thread, and i got all confused

the description is correct, the picture is wrong; Skyline has the upper outlet on the same side as the CA. Measure the height of your radiator to compare. I have a Trust GT-R radiator and it sits kind of high, had to modify the straps that hold it in.

http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/me...=RDOC^CXRacing Oil Cooler (plus a Coolant Tank because minimum purchase is $100 with the coupon i won)

Would all this be more worth my while than a radiator do you think? Total would be around $190 for that and around $129 for the KA Rad.

well my friends, i decided to go with either the KA or Skyline Radiator probably with the fan, basically for overall cost.

even with the $100 off coupon i'd be spending the same amount on the Oil Cooler kit as i would if i payed for it out of pocket, and the only extra thing i'd get is a Coolant Overflow tank.

with the $100 coupon and the radiator and fan, i'd be spending a little less than the oil cooler kit, but if i bought the Oil Cooler kit instead, i'd have to save up like $250 for the radiator. it just makes more sense to get the rad as of now.

what i was TRYING to get at SJB is that the KA RADIATOR would be a better choice because the coolant necks are on the proper side... my car has FACTORY RWD CA18DET Radiator hoses... upper and lower, that I had my buddy Phil mail me from japan... fits perfect...

what im most baffled by is who the 2 tards were that voted for an SR20DET Radiator... they clearly have no idea what they are talking about and enjoy ghetto crap.

for the oilcooler setup you need a thermostat also... unless u dont daily drive this car.. add that to your list.

the sr radiator w/fan is cheap and can be easily adAPTABLE SO its a good bank for buck as u get it for 117$
