    i bought my ztt exactly a year ago, since then i have changed the engine, trans many other things its been expensive(dont get your z from power road carsales DANDENONG), anyway over the weekend me and my bro changed the timing belt and all the other belts and put the boost up to 14 psi, i drove the car for two days and now the radiator is leaking, does anyone know any good places to get radiators and how much they are, also i was thinking of getting one second hand perhaps any ideas? (changing the radiator is no prob now as i think i can do it blindfolded)

    I just did mine in and checked around for a few weeks. To replace it

    with a stock item was about $570 (auto) and they are just marginal at the best of times when you are in traffic or on the track so I opted for an all aluminium one from www.pwr.com.au which was a 40mm wide one for $808 GST inc. Freight was $15. I could have had the oil cooler inserted fo $50 but opted to have an external one instead for $77. They make an excellent product.

    A little rework was required to get it to fit but its in now and I am just about to try it out.

    regards Luig:cool:

    I have a good one here you can have for $30. You just have to get a new tank fitted to one side. The plastic filler neck is busted. The radiator guy can fit the end tank off your rooted one on it.

    You can call me, the number is in the profile.

    yes I am in Melbourne :thumbsup:

    yeah i could have got one from concept z

    i could have gotten one from concept z for 350 $ + postage but it would have taken time and as the z is my only car i need it everyday for school and to take gf to work so i had no other options, tektrader i will take my old radiator to the radiator guy and see if he can fix it so i have a spare one incase this ever happens again.........its faken hard to maintain the z tt when u are on ctrlink :)
