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

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
