had a $200 ebay ASI 52mm in a 32 with rb25 no shroud and could not get it over 86c...

Was great until the dodgy mounts I made came loose and the core ruptured when it hit the fan :( 35c degree heat, 80ks from home. not a fun day :(

u got a koyo radiator for 220 bucks?

where from mate?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RADIATOR-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R33-34-93-2001-AUTO-NEW-/190408507003?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c553b3e7b

I thought it was going to be a fenix one but ended up having koyorad written on it

i run a cooling pro on my r33 bin in there for 2 years and loving it keeps shit cold it was like 300 buks but if ya speek with someone like radiators austrlaia about a koyo rad there the shizzzzz 500 buks and no probs....

Came down to two different options:

1. Triple pass core from racepace $550 - Asian made (not sure of country) 45mm. Only downside really was the minimum 3 week wait, and the fact that the fit/finish is unknown.

2. Koyo 53mm twin core for approxmiately the same price - Known to fit as per OEM, delivered in 1 day, only issue is its not a triple pass.

I understand from a cooling standpoint, the tripple pass is the way to go - No doubts there. But the fact that the car will be used 99.99% of its time on the road, I don't want my car consistantly being off the road (just did an RB30DET conversion), and I want it to fit like OEM made the decision a little easier. I have no doubts that even if I do take the car out the track, that this radiator will be adequate. Maybe not on a 40 degree day - but who wants to do a track day in that sort of heat teehee.gif

I just got a 'standard' Koyo Radiator, down here in Sunny Geelong in 4 hours on a Friday (from Melbourne) 25mm thick, standard size and looks good. $240 plus $10 for quick freight!

Can't complain... R33 GTS-T 1995.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
