Finally! An aftermarket replacement rad for the S130!

About freaking time....

Curious though how this compares to a SR20 aftermarket rad which can be had for a lot cheaper....

I coulda swore the 280z used the same radiator as the 280zx. Either way, I wouldn't spend $250 on that.

That would be a wise way to save your money..... especially since you don't have a 280ZX....

Of course for those who do it's the only ZX upgrade radiator out there. It's nice to see an bolt in upgrade option for the ZX.

Um the AZ one doesn't fit the S130. Or at least that's what the owner of AZ says... I'm pretty sure he'd know....

hey guys. im new to this forum, but a long time member of zcar and hybridz. I have the sr20 aftermarket radiator and have absolutely NO complaints. Im getting ready to change the mounting setup I have, but for now, here is the installation thread I made on Zcar.

I'll make a post with some updated pics of my car and what not in a few hours. I just woke up lol.

Interesting. When I contacted Arizona Z Dave told me it wouldn't fit into the 280ZX without modifying the front cross member. There was no option to have the rad modified to fit so the "special order" is something that is relatively new. I asked if there were any plans to have a 280ZX rad and he said not at this time. I guess that's changed since I last talked to him about it. The MSA rad, however, looks to be roughly the same build quality and has the oil cooler built in at $100 cheaper.
