My radiator leaks big time, seems to come from a few places, the hoses, the top plastic part. THe fluid spews on the heatshield and makes a horrible smell, as well as smoke. this caused ppl on the freeway to point and warn me. anyways, i guess i need to replace the mofo.

can anyone recommend a good replacement, should i go OEM or get a Koyo aluminum? and i need a "showa" type since its a GSR, right? or any other suggestions would be cool. thanks.

I had the same problem with smoke and everything. Anyways I let my g paw take it to his mech and they replaced it and I havent had any problems yet. It cost me like $200 for everything. My car is in the shop right now getting a exedy lightweight flywheel and a whole new clutch. damn this car is gettin to be so expensive. If one more thing breaks ima be pissed.
