Digsy Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 These are the only J-spec rad numbers I can pull up. Probably not much help but it may give you a starter for ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Dont know what the prob is exactly but rads can be recored (rebuilt) maybe not if you have driven into a solid object like a wall! And depending on the replacement cost from Toyota you may want to consider a Fluidline rad which some of the guys with quick Supras seem to use......

qaisar Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 thanks for the replys guys, the reason i ask is i need a replacement. thought about the fluidynwe and pwr ones but they cost about 700 once everything is taken into account. so im getting a new one made buy dudersvr which should perform better than the stock. only prob is need to know if it is like the manual or like me and chris wilson suspect like the auto, or entirely different. darren could u have a look at yours, chris says it should have it stenciled in grey or white on the radiator.

Digsy Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Which Darren? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 a) No one re-cores Supra Rads...been there tried that b) The Tiptronic is an auto...so I would assume it has an auto's cooler in the rad. FWIW I fitted a stock auto rad to my 6-spd car (cause toyota fcuked up and them proceeded to blame me) and all is ok. To find out if you have an auto's rad you need to look down inside the fan shroud to the bottom of the rad and look for 2x 1/2 inch pipes coming out of the bottom tank. c) How the hell does a Fluidyne cat that much?!!! Terry got his in for about £500 fitted AFAIK (Terry pls correct me if it was more expensive) unless your suggesting it would cost an extra £200 for an additional trans cooler to be fitted and rigged up? It's not hard to fit a rad so you can waive fitting costs...doing it yourself is a piece of pi$$. d) Docking Engineering were recommended to me by CW when I was looking into custom replacements.

qaisar Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 sorry meant darren with the vvti, also if u do check please take note of what alex has said at b alex yeah i was talking about after vat and with the transmission cooler, but il check with terry all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I think there was a core change from ally to brass at some point, I think with the VVTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Originally posted by Alex Holdroyd a) No one re-cores Supra Rads...been there tried that Alex, mine I think was re-cored as the warrenty would not pay for a new one when it sprang a leak. Apparently (acorgind to the garage that did the work) their supplier kept sending Soarer radiators..... It's got a sticker on it, I'll try and see if it's still readable (if I ever see my car in daylight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Mr Whiffin was getting the Fluidynes at a very good price a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
