right i'm on my second rad since jan and iv come to the conclusion i should buy the best i can
a sard one for the auto jzz30 comes in at around 1500AUD but a supra specialist has offered me the following


Fluidyne or Giffin 2jz-gte Radiator
Flexalite Dual Fan setup
Programmable Dual fan controller
B&M auto trans cooler
for about 1300AUD

I remember a few people saying not to switch from the viscous fan as it causes a hole heap of problems?

also remember people recommending that u keep the rad ATF cooler to help warm up the ATF after it has passed thro the new cooler ?

what should i do ?

Why do you keep going through radiators? Thats the 1st question? As there are heaps of people that have made over 300rwkw on a stock radiator and clutch fan setup.

Maybe the first one died and was replaced with a similarly aged second hand one which promptly followed it's leader?

yup the OEM one cracked the top tank so got a copper one that was listed as a Uprated one for TT pre 96

that started leaking a few weeks ago from the connection to the top rad pipe so I took it out and asked a rad repair place to fix it for me, the guy rings me back to say the rad’s only been soldered together and not brazed and every time the rad gets hot 3 holes appear in 3 different locations and he cant fix it.

So i'm stuck with no car now

OEM radiator? As in a full replacement one, not a repaired one?
