I bought a K&N FIPK to install on my s2000.

After getting up to putting the heat shield on we realized that it cannot fit because whoever owned the car before me put an aftermarket radiator in which is about 3 inches thick.

It seems that the only way to get the intake to fit will be to buy and install a stock radiator. I looked on ebay but I can't find one.

Does anyone know where I can get one? Or if not, is there any way I can resolve this stupid issue?

find someone to swap you for their stock one...

I personally would buy a new intake before I swapped out the radiator.

That said, you can get one here: http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/200.../radiator.html

I have a stock rad. Perfect condition. Pm myself or Full Blown. It's sitting at the shop unused.

There aren't a lot of intakes that will fit behind the big aftermarket aluminum radiators. The only one that comes to mind is prm intake. Unless you cut part of the plastic from the fan cover or buy thin fans.

All good I think I am going to be able to make it fit with a bit of harmless cutting and airbox modification.

A universal slim fan is a much better solution. Just cut the plug off the old fan and attach it to the new fan to make it plug and play. I'm not even running the fan on that side and have had zero problems in 75-80 degree temps. Coolant temp stays just about dead on 185 while moving and it has to sit and idle a while before the thermostat has to fully open. The small fan will still kick on if it has to (on my 01 at least) to get the temp back down. I've monitored it pretty intensely for about a month now with an OBDII scanner through my phone.
