Radiator To Suit Gtr32

[Sinista32]

Folks I need to borrow/buy a radiator to suit the GTR 32.

Days prior to taking my car off the road for the rebuild the top radiator hose was overtightend by a mechanic which broke the top radiator pipe the hose fits over. Fortunately I was standing beside him when he did it and we checked it out, 50%-60% snapped off. However still trouble with getting it resolved. Whilst I have this matter sorted out with the garage I am in need of a radiator as the top hose keeps blowing off, the remaining top pipe is not sufficeint to keep the hose on.

Any help appreciated.

(especially if you have a Koyo lying around)

Bugger,

I've got a datsun 200B radiator if you want that champ

i have always used arldite to glue them back on, but taht is not for anything important though Richard.

Sorry to hear you still have troubles with sin

tuneagent.com.au koyo radiator 53mm (i just had it sqeezed in my already tight engine bay) he is a local dude and has some in stock.

ohh don't go for rubber hoses get silicone both for the top and bottom of the radiator, also check you're thermostat, as well as the proper rating radiator cap.

Australian built R31 radiators are a decent twin core design and fit straight into later model Skylines, I know of a few people that use them as upgrades. $200 should get you a brand newie. I'm not sure if it's an upgrade for a GT-R radiator, are GT-R ones any different to a GTS-t radiator?

Hey, what about the awesome datto radiator huh?

Have a look in the aftermarket too. I know PWR amkes a few different "bolt in" options for skylines that are not stupidly priced.

Thanks everyone.

Goran - couldn't find Koyo on the tune agent site. Seems there PWR ones for around $900. There spose to be good...but a tad expensive for my budget ATM. However Can you PM me with details of the one you got please.

Anthony - the dato radiators a good offer. Not certain if they fit. Youd think so but may try to slightly upgrade due to the opportunity.

Mark. I'll look into it but as above.

Thanks crew.

I think my 200b's radiator would explode at the thought of going into an actual performance car sin

PM me, and I'll give you a better price for the PWR gear

You upgrading the radiator on the 200B to a 120Y Oscar?

Is that why your so keen to sell it on?

[oscar32]

Trident, the datto is bracing for more than just a radiator upgrade

Although, a 120Y motor swap IS tempting........

I think Sin's problem is solved...
