Hey guys,

Need some help. my mechanic says i need a new radiator and front shocks to pass rego.

Really dont want to buy a used r33 radiator that is pushing 16+ yrs old so can anyone tell me if this ASI radiator is a direct fit to r33 Gts-t? will i need the fan shroud to go with it or able to keep stock r33 fan??

Also front shocks are leaking and worn. Cant afford to upgrade to coilovers so going to stick with just buying some shocks. Will r34 standard shocks fit an r33?

Having trouble sourcing shocks, if anyone has any for sale PM me please!!

Cheers,

Ryan

33 and 34 shocks should be the same from what i have read on coilover fitment, its the rears that differ i think...

You can see in the pic that the radiator has the locations for the existing shroud, should be fine!

Thanks mate, so just to verify. I can buy the radiator and keep the existing stock shroud i already have?

Yes, that is what they are designed for.... BUT please do not fit this yourself if you are not mechanically minded, leave it for the workshop to do. Fitting the Radiator is a very easy job but bleeding the cooling system needs to be done spot on to avoid destroying your engine by overheating etc.... There is some DIY threads on 33 cooling systems on SAU, if you can find it with the search function google it with the SAU title and you shall find :) Good Luck with rego!

Mechanic will be fine with it, remember to allow cash for fitting time and also coolant change as its the best time to do it!

In terms of shocks on skylines i have had no experience, car has always had coilovers fitted. They have a good warranty period, check feedback from other buyers maybe?

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
