Radiator Upgrade?

[Trooper]

It is time for me to upgrade to a bigger radiator for my R33 gts-t

The car is only used on the street, but I am moving to far north qld at the end of the year so need something that will cope with the heat as my stock one is only just keeping up with fairly average temps in Sydney.

I have narrowed it down to:

Trust

Blitz

PWR

looking for a 40mm core.

The trust and blitz ones are about $60 more expensive than the PWR one, is the extra $$ worth it?

Are there any other ones that I should look at?

Does anyone have photos of any of these fitted, as price is similar, performance i assume is similar so it might come down to pure aesthetics

Thanks

Have you seen the Justjap ones

Good value at $400

See the trader section

A possible reason your current radiator is struggling is that it is probably block with crap from years of use

A cheap fix may be to get it cleaned out

I'm running the PWR one with no problems

I was considering a Koyo one, and also the just jap ones - but they have sold out (or had last time I looked).

Plus Just jap is a fair drive from my place and if you add postage it becomes not so cheap.

Thanks for the idea to clean out - i figure now is as good a time as any to upgrade (plus a nice shiny new one will look nice in the engine bay)

I think i will go for the Trust one. $760 from Nengun delivered - gives me an excuse to buy some other bits at the same time too.

that's twice the price of the justjap one...

is it going to be twice as good?

is it even going to be better at all?

I have a Race Radiators item (melb located). Direct Bolt-on for an R33 for i think $660 inc GST.

It works perfectly

There are lots of other ones, PWR etc. I wouldnt bother getting one from O/S when locally you can get it cheaper.

there are no just jap ones they are all sold out and have been for the past few weeks.

I have not any feedback on cooling pro products, but i see where you are coming from and agree that when you pay twice as much for a stamp or sticker that the product is not twice as good (and probably has little advantage if any).

I have heard positive feedback from Koyo radiators and lots from PWR gear (of course), and I am assuming trust/blitz will be fine too.

$660 + postage is not cheaper than a Blitz one or Trust one (not by much anyway) and its more expensive than the PWR one, is it a better product?

Well you couldnt fault them.

I was just giving ya another price to compare with mainly

no offence to just jap........but there radiators are absolute sh1t

id recommend paying the money and getting an ARC radiator......im currently saving for one, even though i now have a custom built pwr radiator which is also amazing.....
