Hi fellas,
I am after a new radiator for my landcruiser (manual LJ71) I have been quoted over $450 for one.... :shock:

So my question is has anyone else replaced theirs and found the same problem, so put an alternative radiator in and if so what did you use? Cheers guys

That's cheap. I did one in my lwb a few years back and cost near on twice that.

What so special about them...gold plated?

nissan boys use ford falcon coolers and fans

as for the prado/crusier
same getup as the 97- 05 hilux/ surf there are a couple on TM at the mo from $99 to $350.

anything more then that i'd start thinking about an all alloy aftermarket job.

I recently got my LJ radiator recored, at around $600.
Can't get new replacement off the shelf. KZJ ones are different, and the Surf ones as you have found out have the outlets on the wrong sides, I think the dimensions are wrong also.
