i haven't tried it.. dave says no...... as his stock radiator cooled better than a just crap one. Also the top bit where the cap goes on is only pressed in rather than welded in, creating another weak point.

the pwr ones are 740, and i can't justify 740 on a radiator, especially when I've got so much other shit to fix asap.

so.. I'm thinking ... just jap, get the top bit welded and away i go.. that'll be $430... as you know what? I'm not running a 400kw gtr like dave.. and I'm sure the gtr radiators have much much better cooling qualities than the s13 ones lol.

Import Auto Parts does full alloy ones for 399 i think atm.

so are u using the S13 one..? the S14/S15 is an upgrade for SR S13 ones..

what engine is in the S13/180sx RB26.?

nah he's advertised at 450 then i'd have to weld

jj is 400 plus welding

he seems ok with his prices, I need heaps of crap so he might be able to do me a deal if he's a small company.

yeah but you know the saying... do it once and do it properly.. plus an s14/s15 is proving hard to find!

the s14s are better than the s15 ones.. but each are only a marginal upgrade I hear.

it's an s14 engine in the 180 (hence why I lol'd at the comment of fitting a gtr radiator (not that i should lol considering i didn't tell anyone haha)

id buy the PWR one, along with a SPAL thermo and you will never have to worry about overheating your car again.

oh and hi to noel and shane as well

i should just do it hey

I should stop being a tightass.

myeah dont spent that much if you dont have too

my brother has one of these 399 all alloy rads and his stays at 80C when he is sliding, and i believe it still fine, and he is in NT atm. depends what you think is over kill really.

so his is a drift car?

another thing is.. mine is circuit.. so it's lap after lap after lap after lap.... you get the idea.

fark I just need a good mechanic to advise me on this one... someone who does what i do to the car, and does it week after week after week.

ahh i got ya..

might i also ask why u put the VCT S14 engine in the 180sx..? just curious

if u want quality scourer around ns.com or yahoo japan for a ARC or HKS tripple core or something.. but im sure a cooling pro 40mm radiator would be fine

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay  
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the piss  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot!
