brodster Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just wondering if anyone has a good 3-row radiator for 510/521. Trying to main stock look under the hood but increase performance. Thanks! Link to comment
datsundash Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 how much more cooling efficiency do you need? Overdrive the water pump. Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 If soembody has a 3 core they dont usually give them up. datsunpartsllc has 3 core chinese alum ones for like 225 Rods Discount Datsun has 3 row recores. I have one and they work almost to good. Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I had my 3 core in my 521 and in winter with a 195 stat the heater wasnt HOT enough. WhY i dont know most of the time the stat is barely open . This is why no one needs to get a better HI VOL pump as the stat is barely open . Your just cavititaing water on your front cover, beating the fuck out of it. If you even ran with no stat and see how ez that water flows thru the radiator Link to comment
datsundash Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Dont get one of the datsunparts llc ones, they are made in bing bang bong fing fong hing hong chong wong dong china, and they pretty much SUCK, or BLOW I should say. I have had 3 bad experiences with them. Even if you get a super efficient radiator, it will only cool the threshold of the thermostat. Link to comment
brodster Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 A little late at this point since I am buying that 3-row on the realm, but I am putting an L20b into a 521. I really want to maintain stock look. Thanks for advice Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Be sure you have the fan shroud. Way cheaper than a three core. I ran an L20B in a 521 with the stock L16 rad with no problems. Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Ahhh. Well $100 for Julian's rad is good. Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 100 for a good 3 core is well worth it. Datsundash Thankds for the comment on the LLC rads. I wanted a respones from soembody.How they suck?Leaks ect??????? A couple people have gotton them but havent sasi much on them. I was looking at them myself as they look nice. But Yes I know they made in PingPong ,China. But alot of stuff is getting made there. Ever see disc brakes now made in China for Muscle cars!!!!!!!!!!!Got to be kidding! Link to comment
datsundash Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Lol yeah those radiators have some poor welds on them, the quality of the alloy is questionable. pinholes and such. They look out of place in the engine bay too. Link to comment
