    +1 for these. It'll get up to operating temp, thrash the balls off it, coolant temp will never, ever move past 1/3 to 3/8
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    Yes, St162 rads are good and pretty easy to fit. Their thermo fans can also be reused.

    I've also heard similar things about some form of Camry.

    S13 radiators fit. They slot into the bottom mounts perfectly and I found mine a bit too tall, so I had to "massage" the strengthening ribs under the bonnet, but I got it to fit... about 10 minutes later I realised the thing was a leaking POS.

    You probably massaged the top tank with the bonnet strengthening ribs a bit too much

    I have an S13 CA18 Rad for sale if anyone is keen.

    As mentioned in this thread they can be made to fit and cool wickedly.

    I'm chasing $65 including postage to anywhere in AUS. Even included sick Nismo aftermarket cap!

    +1 for the camry. It's the same height, but a bit wider & deeper, fits snugly between the battery shelf and charcoal canister. Inlet's & outlets are on the same side, but the inlet is ~32mm so slightly larger than the sprinter's original. You'll need the top mounts to match and the bottoms from an ae82 or st162 will do. If you're careful you can weld these on without having to remove the originals.

    For a more complete write up with pics find parrot's thread on it. There's one on toymods.

    Also, use the v6 auto version, has an oil cooler in the bottom for the trans.

    celica gt4 st205 rad had nice thermos and mounts and the inlet and outlet are in ripe 4age posi, pretty tall but so you will have to be careful with mountage
