For Sale or Wanted / Re: WTB : Auto Radiator NZ

Last post by JoKer - September 14, 2025, 03:07:42 PM

2025 Update : mine is fine : putting it in the car when the paint was still wet probably is why it's flaked off the fan shroud..

I hear its around $600 these days the re-core according to new member Simon

Materials & Labour costs have risen etc

FYI I've also Commissioned these :

"Aunger Style" Screw on Caps for my Hotwire's



Gunna adjust to put the Avenger Logo on top (or Datsun / Toyota / Mazda)

yeah could 'just do a sticker'

will evaluate / test them a bit more before "releasing"

asking $15 each printed = $60 a set of 4x (Thinking 'free' reprints if they fail within 5x years etc)

or putting the STL online for a couple bucks

will also explore the Press in style for Cheviot / ROH's and Wards

utilising / "re-modeling" existing models like https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:703553

What do we reckon team?

Gonna be looking at about 100 bucks each to make those z pipes
Does that seem a bit steep to you? Would you still be keen on one or two?

I reckon might be worth trying to buy existing at that cost aye

and the quote has come from a Kiwi-Maker so I completely understand the "setup & effort" charges

No price : just a button to "Request a Quote"

Website appears to be Brazilian Portuguese based 

eg for the Dodge 1500 (I often forget about parts from there!)

"Chrysler do Brazil" etc
