I will be making the upper mounts tomorrow after work, and this weekend I will be figuring out a shroud via a cardboard mockup. I will then build it from aluminum more than likely

My lower rad mount is fubarred, this looks like a very interesting idea. re work the lower mount and install a all alum rad. I wonder what size tranny cooler I would need. have you figured that out yet?

Your R34 Radiator build is pretty cool, Is the top and bottom all metal? I might put this in, today when I was changing my spark plugs i broke the plastic for the intake hose and would prefer havving the metal so that doesnt happen again. Also my core support for my radiator has rotted out. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=701366&cc=1388167&jsn=413 Would this be the right part from Rock auto?

Yes, the R34 Radiator I did is full aluminum.
For the support, Im not entirely sure. Might be worth looking at a parts diagram and getting the part number.

Ill see if I can find the parts diagram online. Also im definitly doing your radiator swap that was really annoying having the brittle plastic snap

I'll check it out, for now I'm OK but with plastic parts on the rad. we all know how that goes. So 1 (2x Torqflo 12"x5.5") and thats enough cooling for the trans? I guess I thought it would take more.

No 2x means 2. Theyre decent size and certainly more cooling surface over stock.

That SHOULD work. I would imagine it is the same as any other R34 radiator. I would suggest just cross referencing it with the one in my DIY and make sure the dimensions are pretty much the same.

Will do, I started smelling antifreeze last night, I don't think my rad. likes being hung from the top mounts. So, I'm starting to put together the parts to do this mod.
