Hi guys,

I recently got my r34 tuned. While in the dyno the car was over heating and my tuner told me that there is lot of rust in the radiator and I will need a replacement. I was looking at some of the radiator in ebay and couldn't find any direct fit radiators for the car.

My question,

Is there any direct fit alloy radiators for r34 or will I need some modification to the standard fan shroud ? Or is it cheap to buy alloy radiator with fan and the shroud ?

Car:- R34 GTT manual 1998

I'm new to SAU.. So any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Sam.

Thanks for the reply Benc34 and wolverine. If the trimming is minor it should be all right. Just to clear things out.. when im purchasing a new alloy radiator it should be 42mm ?

Thanks. Sam

On the stock setup will an upgraded radiator help with oil temps at all? I find my oil temps getting to 120 deg c in summer on 40 deg days just cruising around with the stock radiator.

Nope.

Get an oil cooler with a built in thermostat.

Thanks for the replies guys.. I was looking at ebay and found this cheap alloy radiator.

any comments on this ?

Thanks.

Any reasonably priced suggestions? I was just surprised that on a stock setup it would get that hot..

Well you can buy Japanese brand named stuff for up to $1000 or you can just get a sandwich plate with built in thermostat for about $100 some rubber hose (yes it works fine) and a small oil cooler radiator (spend the money on a good one). I'm in NZ so can't point you to the shops.

(Like this - not sure if this exact one will fit your car but I have a Mocal one for my RB)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
