I found a used R-33 GT-R radiator with a calsonic fan, first of all, would that fit into my 240sx with an s14 sr20det swap?  and if it does, would it be an improvement?  thanks for the help guys

The stock SR radiator is 16mm thick, and the R33 GTR radiator is 25mm. So you should except better cooling efficiency. I am not sure the inlet/outlet location, but I think it worth upgrading if you can get it cheap.

My only concern would be the fan shroud... which might not fit right over the bigger radiator.  Inlet and outlet locations are definitely a good thing to check into for compatability.  It's nice to see someone looking into upgrading an often negleted system.  I'd be a nice boost in performance if you ran the bigger radiator with dual electric fans and no belt driven fan... and more room to boot!

Regards,
