This Jayrad JR6045J radiator goes into Nissan Patrol GQ diesel utes and wagons from 1988 to 1997 plus Ford Maverick twins that share the same front end. You get a core that stands 740 mm high and 460 mm wide so it copes with slow climbs in low range without the temp gauge creeping up. The 32 mm core thickness keeps enough coolant moving when you are loaded with camping gear.

The 40 mm inlet and 40 mm outlet line up with factory hoses so you are not chasing odd sizes mid-job. The mounting footprint matches the standard GQ support panel so the shroud and fan sit where they should for clean airflow. That means this radiator is a smart buy if your old core is clogged or leaking and you want the cooling system ready before the next run into hot country.

Q: Does this radiator suit automatic transmission Nissan Patrol GQ models?

This radiator is listed for manual transmission models. Auto vehicles usually need an integrated or separate transmission cooler, so the cooling layout can differ. Check if your current radiator has transmission cooler line fittings. If it does, confirm cooler requirements with your mechanic before ordering. Matching the transmission setup avoids overheating the gearbox.

Q: How can I confirm this radiator will fit my Patrol before ordering?

Measure your existing core and compare it to the 740 mm height, 460 mm width and 32 mm thickness. Also check that your inlet and outlet necks are 40 mm and in similar positions. Confirm your vehicle is a GQ series built between 1988 and 1997. Taking these measurements helps avoid returns and downtime.

Q: Do I need new hoses when fitting this Jayrad radiator?

New hoses are recommended if the current ones are hard, cracked or swollen. Old hoses can fail after disturbing them during a radiator change. Match replacements to the 40 mm inlet and 40 mm outlet size. Fresh clamps and coolant will help the new core run trouble free.

Q: Should the cooling system be flushed before installing the new radiator?

Yes, the cooling system should be flushed before installation. A flush removes rust, scale and old coolant that can contaminate the new core. Your mechanic can pressure flush the block and heater circuit. Clean coolant and correct mix ratio support long radiator life and stable engine temperature.
