Big Mark Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Looks like my rad is going to need replacing soon.

tDR Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 It's probably OK but I'd stick to a brand name and go for a Koyo. You can fit a manual car radiator - you just need to fit an additional small fluidyne for the trans if you do that, they're about £30. Cheers, Brian.

Sheefa Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Agreed, as per TDRs advice. I had a Koyo fitted when I killed my stock one and got one of K14 SUP (Steves) 9-row tranny coolers that worked perfectly custom mounted by Mr Wilson to the back of my FMIC. Koyos are a great rad, larger than the Fluidynes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Give him a mail and ask to speak to any other supra owners he has sold to...if you are the first tell him you will guinea pig it for the forum at half price m8 I would go for it - looks very similar to the Koyo and at £213.00 delivered looks to be a boig saving... China / Hong Kong / Taiwan - all make them for the brands etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Just found this link in another thread. http://cart.carcooling.co.uk/index.php?p=product&id=30779&parent=1217 Anyone got one of their rads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Got a reply back from Honk Kong. His reply was; "Hello Mark Thank your for your interest in our product. The price we give you below is for doing business outside ebay and payment via bank transfer. This is how we can offer you the best price. For 1 x 40mm Aluminium automaitc transmission radiator ship to United Kingdom via DHL Express (1-3 days) will cost GBP 143 + GBP 56 = GBP 199. Payment terms via bank transfer." What do you reckon?

jimwire Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I also emailed them asking if they do one for a manual. they sent me a link to another rad and said they do. I checked the feedback as I am sure you have. Seem to have sold a lot to nissan owners and other cars with good results. I am tempted to just order one and see what happens.

Big Mark Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 I am tempted but bank transfers do put me off slightly. I've found this one in the UK, I've never heard of them though. http://cart.carcooling.co.uk/index.php?p=product&id=30779&parent=1217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I would rather go for this as mentioned before: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KOYO-RACING-ALUMINUM-RADIATOR-TOYOTA-SUPRA-JZA80-93-98_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33602QQihZ020QQitemZ300151009563QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD2V £170 + £130 for shipping comes in at £300 though. Worth the extra for a known quantity that is also 13mm thicker (53mm vs 40mm) than your Golpher one above. Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 why skimp out on cost for an important, no VERY important part? I picked my new Koyo up for 250quid including delivery iirc. Worth the extra 50odd enp assured quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I have to order a radiator this week so I can get it fitted next week as I want to go up north in 2 weekends time and don't want to worry about the radiator giving up on me. Just found another one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lexus-GS300-Toyota-Supra-3-0-1993-1997-RADIATOR-NEW_W0QQitemZ270062693235QQihZ017QQcategoryZ10428QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem I never knew that Supra and Lexus GS300 use the same radiator.

Big Mark Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ordering the one from hong kong. Will let you know all know more when it arrives and is fitted. Would love for it to arrive by the weekend so I can fit it myself but probably not enough time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I suppose Ric, but I prefer a little peace of mind on something tried and tested bud. Then again, if you don't test the boundaries you'll never know! Got mine off ebay magictorch - imported from USA though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'd go for the PWR one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I use the Power Enterprise Double Row radiator on my car. Beautifully made and quite a bit wider than my old Fluidyne rad. http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/5938/1jza80powerenterpriseranf8.jpg http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3220/2jza80powerenterpriserauq4.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimwire Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I ended up getting this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=120161961007 It came in a week and a half, seems really well made, a lot thicker than stock, and fitted without too much trouble. We have not had any problems so far (apart from a leaking stat but that was my fault for not putting enough ptfe tape on it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
