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) :(

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.

Thats right - went to JnE Performance Parts & Services over the border and received an as new Rad and install at highly competitive rates. Whilst there was treated to choccy biscuits and cafe style coffee. I highly reccomend this shop for all your GTR needs :cheers:

I'm still, when $$ permit, get me one of them Koyo Rads. TuneAgents rock!

Ta JnE !

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
