Anyone put an alloy radiator in an m35 yet?

Fenix are a good choice - made in NZ, not china, and good local support. Discounts for NSW club members too.

funnily enough, the only email I have is Christiaan [email protected].

:google:

350z radiators have the cap on the wrong side.

It will foul with your intake funnel into the airbox.

I am led to believe that the pins at the bottom of the tank that slip into the support holes are located a little too far forward or back (can't remember) on the 350z radiators.

ok installed the castor arm bushes tonight. massive change in the car. worth every cent!

also put the rest of the cat-back exhaust on to see the sound, not a bad note coming from it

aaaand put on the blitz BOV, i get more flutter, but im cool with that. it scares the old ladies around my suburb lol

Sooo... Iain... you'd have a spare stock BOV now, right? :whistling:

Castor arm bushes are those poly bushes Craig was doing, right? Were yours just shagged or are the poly ones that much different?

As Duncan would know as an SAU NSW member I fitted a 42mm one to the R33 which required no trimming at all but needed a little fiddling with the aircon temp sensor (some R33's have no issues with the sensor).

I also fitted the same one to the stagea which required a small amount of trimming of the central part of the shroud (due to the extra thickness of the core).

Both are working well and quality looks good. Pricing for SAU members and speed of delivery get a tick from me.

yeah i do, another non-farting one lol

yup those are the bushes craig was talking about. mine didnt appear to be stuffed, but it turns out they were. much difference? not really, only a HUGE difference

Thanks I'll try him tomorrow.

Let us know how you get on; it's on my list to do before summer.

The OEM rad is barely adequate in hot weather, and nowhere near good enough once you put a bigger intercooler in front of it; which is also on my list...

Fenix don't do a full alloy radiator to suit M35/V35. They have them listed but they are just 350z ones. Full credit though, once I got onto them the guys were pretty helpful and obviously didn't want to sell me the wrong thing (like SO many people I've spoken to in the last day).

Top of my list right now is a Koyo V35 radiator. Wbperformance.com will do them for USD $405 shipped, just not sure how trustworthy his site is. Otherwise USD $452.50 shipped on eBay.

Since you're in Adelaide, did you just call someone like Tonkins or Adrad? Adrad are Koyo dealers too.

Although I'm rapidly finding out that even with trade accounts a lot of this stuff is cheaper overseas...

Way cheaper. Just rang a place that Adrad referred me to and not only could he not find a part, I asked for a ball park price on a R33 Koyo full alloy radiator (that was what he was trying to sell me despite saying "V35, G35" over and over and over) which was $900.

Tonkins as in the car audio place?

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
