Anyone fitted a Nissan Aluminium/plastic radiator to a GQ?
Just wondering if the new style fits as original was brass/copper? Also, any feedback on performance and durability?
Not sure which way to go at the moment.
Hey mate, I have just fitted a plastic aluminum radiator to mine (think it's an adrad) and seems to perform well. I think would be more durable than a copper brass they tend to leak from the corners, my old brass one was new and started leaking after probably five years of use in the corner. .
A third honest vote for New Nissan OEM placcy/aluminium highway tanks here BD77 Mate!
Have slowly hauled some serious max GCM weight together with the old faithful GQ TD42 to great success around the QLD/NSW/SA hotter border work regions.
FWIW: A 35 year old viscous fan coupling not locking to more than say 90% has been the only ever cooling issue found to full factory GQ all others specifications to date
Had a go at putting the new radiator in today but there is a slight misalignment with the top bolt holes. Managed to get one in but other one is about 3-4mm out.
Anyone had the same issue? I don't want to force it too much. My only thought is to take a bit off the bottom rubber locators.
