Hi, looking ot get a new radiator found a few on ebay, just not sure about fitment, has anyone bought one that will be direct fit off ebay )plastic or alloy)?

found these two, seem identical to me a bit wary of the "sc300" that all of them seem to have.

I can confirm that SC300 fitment is identical to Soarer TT. I replaced my OEM radiator on my '94 Soarer with a Spectra premium CU1305 for a '95 SC300 with no issues.

Looks nice and thick. How much did it set you back?

I managed to pick up a second hand Koyorad that's about that size, made out of copper. It's missing some paint but seems to be doing a good job.

James - do you know if the VVT-i radiators are different to the TT's? Or to the US SC300's for that matter.

Thanks Ali - it seems that radiators for manual VVT-i's are easy to find, but not so the automatics.

I have one for the vvti auto, BUT the radiator top tank is busted.

Best bet for you is to get an auto supra mkiv radiator, modify your shroud / buy supra shroud and use that

Guess I struck lucky with my radiator then.. Had no idea the fan shroud was different, but it bolted in without any fuss.

I'll chuck up some pics when I can

Maybe I am wrong, but I compared a TT shroud to my vvti one and it looked slightly different
