Good progress, was the rad a custom build, or is it one of nissens standard range of rads, as 180 rads are nla and likely to remain so that could be a viable alternative.

Can't remember 100% if it was the 200 or 180sx alloy rad but I had to check out a few suppliers as they were all slightly different sizes. Unfortunately it's not a straight fit as the lower rail needs chopping about to get it.
Just rad cap and no fittings to tie in original expansion vessel but nothing to huge.
Just nowt out there that will slot in place, as I am finding with everything hence me having to make most bit up myself.

yep, same with most things for ZS's! not alot of ppls doing aftermarket parts for them anymore.

thats why i end up doing most work myself. Just had the gear turn up to make my own bushes.

almost at point of giving up with waiting for ppls to make bodykits / doors etc so started looking into how i can make my own

may even put it back on road as a mk1 to start with so i can at least drive it
