howdy

I have recently bought a track only r32 4 door skyline. I have a front mount and a stock radiator, which is blocking the radiators airflow dramatically (to almost none, even at speed). I want to upgrade to a larger (thicker?) radiator but am unsure of what will fit. I was wondering if there were any bigger radiators that would bolt straight up (32 gtr maybe?). I have also bought a 12 and 10 inch thermo fan to put on the front ofthe radiator, and am still using the engine driven fan on the back. The thermos aren't installed yet, as I wanted to upgrade the radiator first.

Any help would be fantastic.

thanks

If you get no air flow, try making plates (with plastic, aluminium, fibre whatever) that go between the FMIC and radiator to force the air to go through the radiator. That would be my suggestion with a stock radiator or with an upgraded one.

JustJap sell fat radiators for cheap. Cheaper than anywhere else. too_much_boost runs one in his cef I think and he reckons it's the goods (good enough recommendation for me!)

GOod luck :)

    • You would probably do a lot better in a claims process then most people. When I called the insurance company, they were surprised I read the pds because according to them almost no one does lol.
    • Yeah it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company tries to pull some argument out of their ass to avoid paying you out.
    • On some cars like MR2 Turbos they're notorious for not letting the wastegate open far enough to avoid overboost, especially certain cheap downpipes. If adjusting "percentage cycle" fixes it then it's just an electronic control issue, not a hardware one.
    • Same.  It's depressing to say this but the skyline can go months on the charger between drives. 
    • I often leave mine connected weeks at a time. The main one I use is the old model of this, it has 2 important features - choose battery chemistry other than lead acid (most of mine are AGM) - power supply mode which you can use to try and recover dead flat batteries as "smart" chargers often don't recognise a dead flat battery is connected https://www.projecta.com.au/products/IC10/intellicharge-10a-bat-chgr The Ctek I  use was meant to have a battery test mode as well but it doesn't work 100% of the time so I am pissed at them. The distributor did everything possible to make warranty and support difficult so I'll stay away in future. The main thing with a "trickle" charger is it has multi stage programs, ie once the battery is full it turns the current right down to just maintain the charge....in the old days we just used real "trickle" chargers for that which had a maximum output of say 500mA which was safe to just leave connected to dumb old lead batteries.
