The Crusaders led 26-10 when Nadolo went over for his first in the opening minute of the second half.
Cheetahs centre Johann Sadie inspired the home team's brief fight-back, but the seven-time champions powered home at the end as tries from replacement Tom Taylor, flyhalf Colin Slade and two more from Nadolo sealed victory in style.
