ppeters914 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 ...or did you post in the Parts Wanted because you want a Rabbit radiator? And if that's really what you're asking, then a trip to the junkyard or buying new are your options, which is so obvious that Mike is right: Link to comment

Topher88 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 the new one (white one). It has an aluminum Radiator in it but idk the dude said that it was too big and it only has one 10 inch fan and when the car isnt driving it gets hot. so he told me i should just get a smaller radiator like a rabbit radiator. i guess im retarded for not asking you guys cuz you are always way more knowledgeable. so this is the car http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13304 you can kind of see the radiator in the pic but it seems so bug that it barley gets air cuz its so big. What should i do? cut into the car and fit another fan or just get a smaller radiator? you guys know everything and i love it. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 When you get the car drive it and make your own opinion. How does he know it runs 220???? Got a reliable gauge in it. Or just a guess. Fan turning the right direction?? Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 you guys know everything and i love it. Yeah, but you're starting to wear thin. How about saving the questions until you actually get the car and drive it? Just sayin'.... Link to comment
datsun65 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I'd recommend that you wait till the new 510 arrives , before deciding to chance out the radiator. If the radiator is good (and system pressure is correct), and if the fan is too small (not enough CFMs), you may want to change out the electric fan. Other things can cause the overheating, such as the car's timing or even head gasket issues. It would be best to get the car home first, then determine what really needs to be fixed. Link to comment
