I meant to post this a while ago, but in case useful Pro Alloy in Suffolk have a pretty good 240z replacement alloy heater matrix available.

Datsun 240z Heater Matrix

With the original Datsun parts now almost impossible to find in working condition, we have developed this replacement part with all the reliability of a modern high quality radiator. Our version is approx half the mass of the OE part and is installed in the same location with no need to modify...

Yep that is a very fair point.

Unfortunately both of the tanks on mine were badly split so a re-core wasn't really an option for me.
 
I thought about doing the Ford Escort mod @AliK but the inlet/outlet pipes on a UK spec Escort matrix seem to differ from the US Spec shown int he guide. I'm sure there are other options though, maybe an old mini matrix or something
 
I used my last good matrix in the orange car I'm currently building so will need an option for the next one.

Ah! Not having done this job (yet!) I didn’t realise the water pipes were handed :(

I wonder if the European LHD suppliers may be able to provide one like the US ones!?
 
This may be useful (if not on the wrong side again) - especially if you don’t mind or feel confident with a bit of “saudering”! :p

you can get an original re-cored for about £90.

I have been looking for options for a while in Australia. The biggest issue is to get a core, if as you indicate that recoring is 90 pounds, can you please point me in the direction of where I can get the core that is being used?

Thanks, I'm really not keen on forking out the money that ProAlloy or the Brassworks (USA) is asking!

Cheers,
