Justjap 40mm Alloy Radiators

[B0oStEr]

I've done a few searches and a lot of people seem to recommend them but others say to buy a name brand one.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone that is using them, particularly in an r32gtst.

Any fitting or quality issues?

An actual pic would be great as the pic on the Justjap site isn't of the r32 one.

Thanks.

Mine works very well, however the spout has sealing issues after a while, having a rolled edge rather that a solid style like the PWR ones.

yes spout has/had sealing issues

jj appeared to be aware of the problem and continued to sell them as is

and then had a cry when I wanted a refund although I did get one in the end

[Gts-t]

good to know 1400r, cheers

I have run one of the Cooling-Pro Radiators in my R32 for a year now and its been fantastic, no leaks whatsoever.

1400R: They were well aware of the issues with the filler neck and I believe this has been fixed. I looked at their new ones last time I went by the shop and they appear to be much better.

I don't have a photo of the core before it was fitted but I do have this one of the radiator in place

"1400R: They were well aware of the issues with the filler neck and I believe this has been fixed. I looked at their new ones last time I went by the shop and they appear to be much better."

so why continue to sell faulty goods ?

What a stupid comment.

Its a shame that you had a bung one, but from what I saw they had changes made to the design to strengthen the filler neck, ie they switched from a rolled to a solid neck. and they have a 12 month warranty on all of them - maybe you just didn't deal with the right person when you spoke to them but from what I have seen they generally replace any faulty item no questions asked.

At least 6 people I know use these things and love them, especially for the money compared to the higher cost of a PWR or Jap core.

I dont see what was stupid about it ?

I know if I was aware of fault on an item I would either point it out to a customer so they are aware of it before they buy it or wait till to sell the item

until after they were repaired

ps I could have bought a koyo rad for similar money but choose to deal with JJ deal to ease of payment etc

Its pretty simple, you imply that they are all faulty - That is completely incorrect.

i picked up a faulty spout one of a mate for 20 bux

6 pack of beer later and it was re-welded and they are a good thing!

We have one on an R32 GTSt race car, no problems and great performance.

It fact, the 40mm one has been so good we even have to turn off the intercooler water spray off in some races as the engine runs too cold!

Good info blitz, thanks had my eye on one of these. Im not one to go cheap but at half the price of a pwr one i have been seriously thinking about the cooling pro

didnt think I did as I said they have/had a problem means I believe its may have be fixed

Im unaware if a whole batch had the problem or if it was only single items

as I only bought one

next time Im sold something faulty and made to feel like I did something wrong I'll try an be happy about it

yeah, i'd say they are alright for what they are, cheap and reliable, much better than standard if you've upgraded your engine a bit

although i ended up selling mine and buying a "240sx 55mm thick core" one from the US, it was about $80 cheaper overall, although one of the inlet pipes is on a different side, but that doesn;'t bother me, i'm doing custom radiator piping with stainless and silicone, and tapping two holes one for the factory thermostat, the other for a thermoswitch, because with the new radiator my old fan doesn't fit too big

but it all lines up fine, the radiator drops into the holes, i reckon check it out, but in the end it'll cost about the same and probably only give marginally extra cooling

another option is the Race Radiators ones.

I have one and many cars in vic run them without any problems.

Only slightly dearer than the JJ ones.

Update:

Darron from justjap said the filler necks were mostly billet now.

I ordered a Justjap radiator on Wednesday and received it Friday and fitted it today.

The filler appears to be rolled but doesn't look like it should have issues.

I had to cut an 8mm strip off both side brackets of the radiator and trim the factory cowl so I could fit it.

The new radiator is 10mm less in height than the stock one so I had to put 5mm spacers on the top and bottom mounting posts

The slightly thicker radiator makes it a tight fit with the factory fan cowl and intercooler piping.

I hope my engine mounts are still firm enough to stop the engine coming forward 10mm under brakes.

I've got one which i bought a while ago. My filler leaked a bit but after a bit of bashing and filing it seals 99% now. As for cooling, it does that job well. Extremely well for the price. The top two mounting posts on mine were not in the right position so the rubber mounts are now stuffed but it works.
