Anyone fitted a Nissan Aluminium/plastic radiator to a GQ?

Finally managed to get the radiator to fit. Great to see the temperature gauge in the bottom third.

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. .

Sorry to be bearer of bad news, but copper/Brass will always out last Aluminum. Copper/Brass does not suffer from stray voltage corrosion (Electrolysis) as well as Copper/Brass is more resilient to fatigue fractures.

For yours to have started to leaking at the corners is a sign of a breakdown of the solder, I have a Troll with original radiator has done near 600000Km no leaks has been out twice only for flushing. I may of been lucky but have seen a lot of old Trolls still with their original radiator.

On a GQ I think the top mounting rubbers are too small to take up all of the flex. I have thought about re-designing a set to fit mine after I get the radiator done.
