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. .

Yes my copper/brass leaked in the corner after about the same amount of time, replaced with plastic/ally about 12 months ago.

I just installed a Nissan plastic/aluminum one also. My decision was based on the recommendations of my friends and the reviews I saw online.

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.

Are you sure the bottom rubbers are sitting right in their mounts?

Genuine Nissan for a TB42. Bottom rubbers in their holes. But needs to shift across 3 to 4 mm.
