datsunfreak Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I find myself possibly in need of a new radiator, but I don't seem to see any aftermarket (or even OE style) radiators online (or on ebay, etc.)? Looks like the 620 radiator may be the same/similar? Obviously a 510 radiator would probably work although looks to be a bit smaller. Any thoughts? Perhaps Fiero radiator? Used to be a 510 "upgrade" although a tad oversized (not a problem for the 610). Any feedback on the "Champion" radiators on ebay? They make them for the 510 and 620. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 They Also Make 3 Row Fiero Rad Fits Perfect In A 610 Can't seem to find a new one though? From the factory the 4cyl Fiero used a 2-row, and the V6 used the 3-row, but when you look for them new online it seems all you can find is the 2-row. FWIW, my measurements say the stock unit is 22.5" wide and 20" tall. The Champion 510 unit is 22" wide and only 16.5" tall. So unless you want to block off part of the opening (probably on the bottom, for looks) it might be a no go. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 i have a rabbit radiator in mine Must be fairly small for the opening, no? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 width wise it perfect height wise its a little short but it foes the job perfectly Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 FWIW, Summit has a universal aluminum that is the right size. May give it a try... :thumbup: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-380324/overview/ Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I ordered a 180b specific rad from Australia just because i don't want to play around with rad hoses and brackets. Someone did an aluminum 240z rad on here Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I ordered a 180b specific rad from Australia just because i don't want to play around with rad hoses and brackets. Definitely don't want to mess with hoses and brackets too much... Someone did an aluminum 240z rad on here The ones I'm seeing online are about 3-4" wider than stock and 1" shorter. FYI, the later 620 (L20b) radiator is bigger, almost the same size as the 610 radiator (same height but 2" narrower). Those are on ebay for $170 in aluminum. 1 Quote Link to comment

Zeusimo Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Measurements Are 17x25x2.5 I Forgot What Brand It Is But I Know Its WAAAAAY Better Than The CXRacing Rad Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Measurements Are 17x25x2.5 Sounds a lot like the 240Z. Pic? Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 The s13 radiator 240sx for sr is very cheap with dual fans even on Ebay , like 150$ I was going to notch top of frame but drain fell in one hole in top of frame and I was already sliding over .I made bolt in oval holed angle lower mount for stock rubber grommets for 240sx/s13 Quote Link to comment

REDnGOLD Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think Zerow has the 710 or the 810 radiator w/ custom brackets on his. Slightly bigger but can hold more fluid Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 REDnGOLD is correct. I have a 78 810 3-row radiator. No custom brackets. I needed to drill 4 new holes in the core support. The radiator had a "fin" on the edge to align and I drilled straight through for new hardware. Quote Link to comment

ProjectFeint Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Got this for $230 shipped, took exactly one week to get here.. The welds aren't perfect but who cares and fitment was surprisingly spot on o.0 Oh and it's a 3 row Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Is that the 240Z radiator? Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 180b hahaha ;) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I asked in your thread, but for reference where did you buy it? I see this one now... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-180B-3-core-peformance-aluminum-radiator-MT-/181008798076?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a24f7117c&vxp=mtr I should have been searching 180b, not 610... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
