i need to upgrade the rad in my turbo gq. how long has urs been in for?

i have used chineese alloy rads in the past in road cars and found them to be great. but am a little bit concerend about them in a off road car. worried about cracking due to lots of rough off road use because of thin wall thickness.

peoples thoughts?

rads

Post by purplebus »

I sell these rads as well. :) have some in a few mates trucks.eg- td42 with amkt turbo etc 35s, standard td42 on 33's, 4.2 pettys and assorted other vehicle with no dramas as of yet.

Will be pulling the alloy 3 row desert cooler out of mine and trying one in my truck soon as it still heats up with the big rad in it. Normally have one at home in the g/house if you want to have a look. 95% of the time will be able to beat all the ebay prices as well for outers people. ;)

Most ebay stores will charge freight to deliver and also for warranty returns.They list on 1 as $50 del.

Mods can I say this, if not feel free to mod this out. Shoot me a pm if you need any rads etc. We supply all the same parts as Ebays- cars-r-us do. We just normally deal with the trade not the public.

also had a look at these, but way out of my price range.

just seems to be going rate for a second hand radiator is about 200-250.
whereas these new are 330, was thinking they would have to be better than a second hand one. true.

rads

Post by purplebus »

one is petty and the other is diesel....!!!
for some reason the petty ones are dearer. ( we sell them) cheaper than that. ryan off here was first off the rank and got a cheapy, just grabbed a diesel one out of our sydney supplier heaps cheaper ;)
if a few are interested i can work out a buy for them.

thats strange same price on the cars r us rad or the high flow.?? we pay more for the petty than the diesel. can supply the same rad as the cars r us pic in diesel for around 300 plus freight its a 2 row 32 mm and the petty ones for around 330 plus freight 3 row 47 mm.
not sure on the high flow cheaper rads as we haven't seen them before.
