75coupe Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Finish off these clear lenses and get the e85 fuel system and tuned, but i saw a larger hks exhaust housing so tossing up putting that on for the new tune, perhaps not... Then get either half cage or harness bar so i can finally fit the takata harness i have and also a passenger rail so i can fit the other sparco fixed back i have Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438179-gtst-the-never-ending-build/page/2/#findComment-7206893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

75coupe Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 what makes you think the stock radiator will give in? what like, not be enough to handle the heat or just get old and not work properly no more?

DekA Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I had my radiator crack at SMSP last month. Really wasn't expecting it to go considering I'm making <200rwkw but it was a hot day..

I had my radiator crack at SMSP last month. Really wasn't expecting it to go considering I'm making <200rwkw but it was a hot day.. Yep and mine blew the top tank off it a few months prior to Matts letting go, considering the cost of an engine rebuild i would be doing it Oh and its also more bling lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/438179-gtst-the-never-ending-build/page/2/#findComment-7297337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep i need to post pics of the indicator lenses installed, they look cool and have wanted to do it for so long.. Do your research on Radiators... I had a choice of Koyo vs PWR vs Racepace and had to learn quite a bit while choosing...

gtr jet Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I bought a ching chong radiator and haven't had any issues with 2 years of track days but if I had the money I would have gone the Racepace.

75coupe Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 So im thinking i will have to roll the front guards and maybe a pump if possible to fit 17x9 with 265 rubber, if anyone knows someone to do it on the central coast that would be helpful... Another track day coming up too, so need to replace clutch and general stuff like oil & filter change, bleed brakes and bleed brakes. Hope to have temp sensors installed in plenum, turbo exhaust housing to see changes in air temp before and after ceramic coating to all intercooler piping and plenum... If i can get the time to dismantle and and reassemble... Fingers crossed!
