    27" x 19" and whatever core you have determines the thickness obviously.

        Check out my thread in the engine mechanical section about the dual pass radiator.

          Just stand back and throw money.

            ok sorry about being vague its a bitch and a half to type on a cell phone


            ok so yesterday i was at a red light with a suv in front of me, some kid in a 98 accord hit me, no brakes, no skidding, cruising about 20-30 mph. his impact drove my car about 3 ft forward into a tow hitch. i went to the hospital with back neck and wrist stiffness. he went for a decent gash from his seat belt not being hooked in.

            damage to my car
            rear- bumper is about a half inchdown on the pass. side, and the exauhst was damaged rear bumper cover needs replacing

            front- bumpercover ate a trailer hitch and hit the radiator, it looks like the top of it was crushed and the support may be tweaked

            made the insurance claim today hopefully the adjuster will be out today or tommorrow


            *edit* adjuster will be at my place at 8 in the am

                  Don't give up easily. Hopefully you have pictures and receipts.

                  I hounded the insurance company when I got T-boned this summer and got $7500 for my Z + medical and $1500 for pain and suffering and some extra just because I was so pissed at the insurance company they basically paid me off to go away.

                  If the accident wasnt your fault and you can prove that you have a significant investment in the car (say 5K+) you can get more than "market value".

                  In my case I sent them a fax of 25 pages of receipts that were all over $150 each. Their attitude was very amenable after that. :shock:

                        getting the front bumper cover off of my z is a bitch. the cap screws on the underside will need to be cut i think, dumb design. also will a auto z radiator work in a manual z?
