rad options? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I need to replace the rad in my 240 & was wondering if something out of another car like a stanza or something might fit as I can probably get one of those for less, the local yards want $200 for a used rad & the dealer wants $550 for a new one, i'm a student on a tight budget.

Car-part.com. I've bought 2 or 3 rads from the JY about $75 each or so. I also bought a rad off a member here for about $60 iirc. Look around maybe put a post in the FS/WTB area? I don't know about OEM/stock replacements from other cars... You can buy a nice aftermarket Koyo for between $300 to $400 so don't go spending that kind of cash on stock garbage.

edit: well these are US $ prices. Dunno how well car-part.com will work for you in Canada

I know there are zilvians up there tho maybe try the WTB area...
