Since I blew my hg and I have sludge in my cooling system, i'm thinking its a good time to replace my 98,xxx miled OEM radiator with something new.

any reccomendations that are cheap would be great

 

hey bro. i did a search awhile back about ebay radiators and from what i read there were a lot of good comments and satisfaction with the radiators. i wish i didn't buy an oem dual core radiator. if i read about the ebay ones before i would of gotten one of them instead.

 

i like this one alot
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1

very thick.

 

Great units.The only difference is you dont get pretty polishing and grinding down of welds etc.

 

i love mine, it cost $80 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

 

i got the ebay dual core half size radiator
running good

hell ya im buying me one right now.

i was just about to ask the same question about ebay radiators if for some reason the radiator is crap i will be sure to let u guys know.

 

I picked one up as well. not sure what "brand" it is, it was marketed as "like spoon" lol. it was cheap, aluminum, and thick. its also polished, and the welds look just like my old fluidyne. so we will see soon since my car is almost done. if it sucks, then im only out a few bucks.

 

i got mine from http://www.streetimports.com they sell them on ebay as well. good product, fast shipping. haven't had a problem yet.

 

Ebay rad's are bling bling & are well worth the 100 bucks spent.

 

does anyone know if their oem cap will work with these systems?

i just got mine from ebay a few days ago, and i searched on here forever looking for what radiator cap would fit, never got an answer

so i took it down to the autoparts store and found one, and it is from a 1993 Nissan 240sx. hope this helps

my ebay radiator works great

Has anyone seen the OBX units, they go for about $150 and look pretty nice.

unles you're upgrading.. you should be able to find one at some local auto parts store for good price. i purchased one localy.. its fullsize single core with cheaper quality plastic than oem.. but it works.. and thats all i care about.

 

im worried about the radiator cap issue any solutions.

read upwards a little bit

1993 240SX RADIATOR CAP

 

the *** autochrome radiators on ebay look really thick! I may get one of those.

 

mine that cost $80 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem came with cap only thing is i had to buy a gsr lower hose. but a long time a go i had the same problem with a honda civic radiator i bought. i ended up buying a 91 accord cap that fit.

 

im also running an ebay radiator and have had no problems. i beleive it is the street imports one previously mentioned

 

I will like 14th the motion. I bought one from Godspeed on ebay. Called em up and payed a bit more on shipping because I needed it like then and they came through for me. I have 0 complaints about it and it cured my problems immediately.

Definantly won't knock the ebay radiators although most of the stuff on there is pretty crappy.

 

ive got one of the OEM replacement ones on the way. its dual core, comes with a cap, and costs $37 shipped. ill let u guys know how it goes when it shows up (today or tomorrow)

 

man, i should have went with one of these instead of a pwr....... i hope its worth the extra money spent..........

 

The only thing I don't like about these ebay radiators ( have a Yonaka version BTW, same thing though) is that the hose in;et and outlet are still the smaller D-series diameter and not the larger B-series size. OTher than that, they are great
