radiator leaking

[Monkeymagic77]

hi all i have a 96 td27 non turbo engine

my radiator is leaking where the top tank mates with the core..i assume an age problem..

my question is what other radiators from other model nissans will bolt on and fit.


cheers

Well I know D22 radiators don't fit. I bought a Koyorad replacement off eBay for mine, it's the most expensive one on eBay but it seems really nicely made.

Radiator from a petrol engine navara won't work, and probably not one from an SD diesel engine either. Got to do with where the hoses go. Don't know if a QD32 radiator will work. Probably stuck with a TD27 radiator. Perhaps one from a pathfinder will work as well?

TBH, I wouldn't muck around with a second hand radiator if you can avoid it. Get it repaired, or get a new one.

sorry late reply bought a replacement from red devil..they gave a automatic one but i think its minimal plus later i can use those cooler lines for something... hmm maybe powersteering cooler?

Or in case you put an auto in at some stage???

I wouldn't worry about the Power Steering cooling. Just adding in extra complexity to a system that in all liklihood works fine as is.
