s13 radiator in an s12 ?
« on: 04:48:50 PM / 15-Apr-12 »
I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right section but...  Was wondering if an aftermarket full size radiator off an s13 will fit onto my s12 ? I'm guessing I'll have to custom mount it, possibly remove my fan cover ??
I'm sure some of you have done it before, just need assurance. thanks

Yeah it fits u can use the s13 mounts on top but i think u gotta drill holes for the lower mounts

There are some build threads with installs on here, do a search and you will find.

Hella flush and all associates should be gunned down for brainwashing people into thinking a 225 and lots of camber is proper wheel fitment. THAT IS EASY, anyone can camber a skinny as tire till it dosnt rub. Now fitting an 11 with a 315 on stock fender with reasonable camber, that is fitment. And looks, and performs better than both.
i dont own a s12 at the moment but trying to acquire one to get rid of my s13 hatch

hey burritoman, i just swaped a s13 DNA performance aluminum rad with two 11 inch electric fans in my 86 s12 it was very easy, just need to drill holes for lower mounts and i cut up the 2 pieces of metal that hold the intake in place to hold the top of the radiator in. i had to trim the upper and lower hose a little shorter so they would fit nicely, check out my 86 200sx in my garage theres a pic of my engine bay
