Hey Roy, didn't you have issues with underbonnet temps at one stage? How did you sort them out?

Yeh water temps of 320 deg Cand 820deg C under bonnet temps can easily be fixed with a $19 fire extinguisher...cheaper then one of those fancy radiators...meh what a waste of money:rolleyes:

All silly talk a side. Grab a tape measure. I think you will have troubel fittign such a thick radiator in the std position because of the power steering. Typically a 40mm seems to be an easier and equally effective fix ....and then there is always the $19 fire extinguisher:)

i will find out marcus. i think its bigger than that. But im not sure.

Its just hell bigger than the good ole 1987 Jap Spec one which is about as thick as a "toast-cut" piece of bread

Thanks mate, I spoke to him and he said that the 40mm is a bolt in solution with existing fan and shroud (for a 32 anyway) and the 57mm requires electric thermos and removal of shroud... didn't mention anything abour p/s pump...

I think Ben runs a 40mm in his 33R, so if it works for him in his 500kW beast a 40mm should be ok for my low power jobbie :D

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000

      Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward.
