Hey,

i got an r33 series 2 and my radiator is leaking. I was wondering if auto or manual radiators would make a difference becuase i think they are the same. Would a GTT or GTR radiator git in without mods. i just want to straight swap but personally rather a r33 s2 one.

thanks

john

auto and manual radiators are different. at radiator got transmission oil cooling section in the bottom tank.

you can use auto radiator in a manual car, but you can`t use manual radiator in auto, or you need to fit a standalone cooler for transmission oil.

As the above guys mentioned about compatability.

One thing though, you havent said where the leak is coming from .... Tanks Or core !

I split the top plastic header tank in mine (Gtr r32) and Natrad came to the party having the tanks in stock. They sweated it off, replaced it and gave me an australia wide guareentee Much better peice of mind for my Rb than a secondhandie.... :)

ish, how much did that cost if you don' tmind me asking. I've always found natrad to be quite pricey in the pricing department. I had to get a radiator for my daily driver - split an end tank. They were keen in selling me a radiator saying that they didn't have a tank that just fit the oem radiator. radiator costed $550!!!

Not a big fan - the quality is fairly ordinary too - it's already rusting and the paint is peeling

Sorry mate have been a bit scarce here lately :laughing-smiley-014:

The repair was $342 which included removal, new tank, tank sweating off/on, reinstall, Flush, coolant and the Aus wide warranty.

I spose it would depend a bit on the franchise owner but i was pleasantly surprised by my local guy.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
