RADIATOR HAS BEEN FIXED. BENT POST IS NOW STRAIGHT. LEAK HAS BEEN SEALED.
RADIATOR HAS BEEN PERSONALLY TESTED AND WORKS GREAT.

NEW PICTURES WILL BE UP SOON

Price is $130 Picked Up & $165 Shipped within Continental US.

Up for sale is my used Mishimoto radiator for 89-94 240SX with KA. This radiator is perfect for anyone wanting to save a nice bit of money over a new one. I used this radiator for roughly 18 months. Never had any issues overheating that were the result of the radiator (till the very end).

Reason why I'm selling is because through Mishimoto's warranty I was sent a new one for the damage this radiator currently has. The issue on this one is that on the top driver side corner there is a small leak.

This leak is the result of an area of my core support constantly making contact and damaging the tank. Fortunately it's a very simple fix. Whether you simply do a patch job (JB Weld) or have someone weld the aluminum I am certain it will work perfectly as it did for me.

Another small issue, that doesn't affect the performance of the radiator, is one driver side bottom "peg" is bent. Another easy fix I'm sure.

Here are the pictures. These are camera phone shots so I tried my best to capture the leak. The opening measures about a centimeter in length and is the width of a credit card

If I get a hold of a proper digital camera I'll update pictures of the leak area if needed.

I welcome anyone local who is interested to come check it out personally.

Got pics of the fixed leak? This is the only reason why I was holding back on this because a radiator shop told me it wouldn't be worth the fix lmk

Really? The most expensive was $40. Most just said to seal it with a cold weld so that's what I had done. Had it on the car for two days with a little over 170 miles of driving and no issues. If need be I can run it for a week or two just to be certain. It can always be removed if you want to have it welded.

Once I'm home I'll update with new shots.
