    OEM or equivalent. NATRAD or Anrad. Your TD is performing awesome. Don't fix what aint broke. Consider getting your current one rodded and they can probably re-clamp that seam

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Fark, long time between chats Daz. Hope you're well mate!
    I ended up going with the Patrolaparts equivalent. "Jayrad" as I needed one pronto.
    I will keep my original unit and get it re-vamped as you mentioned. Just gotta find a good place locally to get it done. It is in real good nick (externally anyway), apart from that slight weep at the seams.
    Also holy heck. The empty weight difference between it and the equivalent...

Worked fine until til the lower hose split due to the lower fitting being 20mm longer that standard so the hose was just rubbing against the a/c compressor.
    So now I have a Nissan radiator back in and have zero issues.
    The Jayrad radiators are about as close you will get to original too.
    FYI, none of the radiators cooled better that each other too. Trust me, my kettle tested them all out. In the end. Original is the best.

    The incoming Patrol project has leaking Aussie Desert rad and is overheating. We'll just mount the lift kit from 4Wheelonline onto the Jeep and we'll take the Patrol in and see if it needs a new rad.

    @GregRT, you make a point of mentioning 4Wheelonline and your Jeep a lot. Are you affiliated with that site?
    You seem to post links to it when referring to Jeep parts, which are not relevant here.
