Stock radiator reference for replacement

Hi dudes !

 

My 20 years old rad seems to be giving up, see the pic :

This green leak was spit out after a 2 mins trip...

 

As my Supra is automatic and I don't wanna mess around with an aftermarket rad + oil cooler kit (I'm not an expert and never did that before), then can you confirm I'll only have to buy that part from Toyota, and that the oil cooling system will be built in ?

Isn't there something else I'd need to take care of, like joints/gaskets I need to replace, mounting parts not included, etc.. ?

 

Thanks in advance !

@ Dnk - right. Thanks for your advice, I'll do it !

 

@ peter richards - Thanks dude ! That's very nice from your part. Yes, my Supra is TT auto, from 93.

How are these rads compared to the stock ones ? The price is very low, that's very attractive, but is it a good quality part ?..

well its in and working ok, the mechanic that fitted it did have to drill out the bottom bolts / screws as they were rusted , but he didn't charge me any extra . didn't need anything extra as regards mounts or anything.

not sure what Toyota are asking but at £88 if I get three years out of it then ill be happy , im sure its good for more

Ehm, on the screenshot I posted you can see the ToyoDIY part, they ask 480 $ ^^ That's why I'm taking your solution into consideration

Did you make sure it has the oil cooler system that goes on Auto Supras ? That's strange the auto radiators are cheaper than manual ones, they are supposed to have that built-in oil cooling system oO

There is also a facelift and pre facelift rad as well as manual and auto. Speak to Chris Wilson he sourced a genuine one for me that was cheaper than toyota and its not an exchange basis.

I was very happy with it plus the new ali ones are much lighter than the old copper ones.
