Need to replace my radiator, any advice on brand/type which is a good option?
So many choices and big $ in variations!
Any advice appreciated

Yeah second this ^ ^ Mine needs to be changed soon also and I've got no idea what to choose.

I also need one. Lol.
Tried a fenix and it sucked and leaked.
Mate had a good stock rad he gave me, but a year later that's become questionable.
Probably going to get a good one built by a decent rad shop. Then not worry for 10+ years.

Fenix give you warranty?

Bahaha, yeah right

NATRAD factory standard type is best

Looking for a performance radiator ?
http://www.adrad.com.au
Manufactured in Australia and available Australia wide.
If it can handle Adelaide water they must be the best !

I've been using these in everything from 304 lc gtr to 304 vp ute with either au fans but now like to use trimmed downvs v6 thermofans...work well,cheap & lightweight as well as extra room to get to front of engine.

Can't remember if series 3 had different radiator shroud or not if using clutchfan

Previously if car had factory copper v8 radiator I'd get those redone or as like smitty bought natrad brand which seemed closest to factory.

I’ve used these in pretty much every VR-VY I’ve had so far without issue
