Aluminium radiator for a GS300?
Hey guys,
Need a new radiator for my GS300 and figured 'Why don't I get an Aluminium one, for mad JDM street cred?'. Anyway, I can't find any of these in Australia, and even on eBay I can't find any.
Do they exist? Am I better of just getting a plastic end-tanked one? Will one from a JZA80 or something fit?
Help please D:

You are better off getting an oem radiator unless you get a high end aluminum one like ARC or Koyo. The cheap aluminum units are a hit or miss with bad welds that will leak in a month or poor design that actually is less efficient than OEM or quality brand.

I know the UK company JapSpeed makes them for the GS300's. Not sure how compatible they are though, as I found out the hard way that the UK GS430's use a different radiator than the US models so the same could be true for the GS300 as well...

Here's the Koyo (Supra fitment) that my brother installed in his GS. I think he mentioned that he had to DIY brackets for the bottom part of the radiator since it is a bit beefier than the OEM one.
