The Jayrad JR6049J radiator drops straight into Nissan Patrol GQ petrol wagons from 1988 to 1997 that run an auto box, with a core size of 740 mm high and 460 mm wide ready for hard towing days. A 32 mm thick core gives decent coolant volume without choking airflow when you creep up long fire trails or idle through traffic. Twin 275 mm internal transmission coolers help the auto cope with slow crawling or loaded highway runs. Jayrad keeps the hose connections simple with a 35 mm inlet and 38 mm outlet to line up with standard style hoses, so you keep the rest of the cooling setup familiar. The overall footprint stays close to OE, so fan shrouds and mounts stay in the game without drama. This way you get gear that is built tough for Aussie heat, a smart buy when your Patrol or Maverick still earns its keep.

Q: Does this radiator include built-in transmission coolers for the automatic Patrol?

Yes, it includes twin internal transmission coolers measuring 2 x 275 mm. This means the automatic transmission fluid passes through dedicated cooler sections inside the radiator. It keeps the install tidy with no separate external cooler required for standard setups. It also keeps line routing close to the original layout.

Q: What hose sizes does this radiator suit on the engine side?

The inlet is 35 mm and the outlet is 38 mm. These diameters align with common OE-style upper and lower radiator hoses used on Nissan Patrol GQ petrol engines. When replacing the radiator you can match hoses to these sizes for a snug clamp fit. Checking your current hose condition before refitting is still a good idea.

Q: Will this fit both Nissan Patrol GQ and Ford Maverick petrol models from that era?

Yes, it is listed for Nissan Patrol GQ petrol models from 1988 to 1997 and the equivalent Ford Maverick petrol variants sharing the same cooling layout. Both platforms use the same general radiator dimensions and mounting style. Part numbers NIS973CA and NGQ34003 are cross references to this unit. Always confirm against your existing radiator dimensions before ordering.

Q: What are the main core dimensions I should check before purchase?

Measure core height, width and thickness and compare with 740 mm high, 460 mm wide and 32 mm thick. These measurements refer to the finned core area excluding tanks and side brackets. Matching these figures helps ensure your fan shroud and mounts line up correctly. It is a straightforward way to double-check compatibility on older touring rigs.

Suitable for Nissan Patrol GQ petrol models from 1988 to 1997 with automatic transmission and crossflow brass/copper style cooling. Also suits Ford Maverick petrol models sharing the same platform that use part numbers NIS973CA and NGQ34003. Fitment requires removal of the existing radiator and installation in the factory mounting points using original style hoses sized to 35 mm inlet and 38 mm outlet. Transmission cooler ports suit automatic transmission cooler lines matching the twin 275 mm internal coolers.
