gemini is the way to go, i found mine may need a small electic fan for summer as even stuck in traffic on a 40deg day it may nudge 190-200 farenhite.... i like it at about 180-185... about 83deg c. In the 90deg c range is too close to comfort for me.. a 7inch should do it for manual overide in summer only.

I'm running an A12 radiator for the nostalgic look. I've had no problems racing my car on 46c days, but it is a fresh 3 row

N14 Pulsar radiator has the same size inlet and outlet hoses as Datsun 1200, they are on the same sides too, its about the same height as a 1200, the major difference is that it is a lot wider, so a little bit of mount customisation.
This is the way I was thinking of going.
I think it is a bigger rad than the gemini....but if people are not having dramas with standard A12 ones, a gemini should be fine too.

you will most probably have to drill holes, I did in a 120Y. Also the one I had was mounted in the centre, whereas stock rad was mounted flat (shite description, I know) so I used 4 little blocks of wood and long bolts. Sunny's may have the extra piece you can remove to allow more airflow to a larger radiator? 120Y did.

Stock definately wont cut it. My hot a14 got literally very hot on the highway in summer with a good condition a12 radiator. It nearly nudged 210 in the 110km/h zone on a 38degree day. Went an bought a 12inch thermo and a gemini radiator. What a difference stays at very close to 180 even when flogged on a reasonably hot day and stays spot on when driven sedately. It even handles long duration static burnouts.(i know im a hoon)
