My ceffy just copped a bit of a front ender, no bent panels just a broken front bar and a radiator that has some serious leakage, It wasn't actually hit and I can't see that anything pierced it - but it no longer holds water and the leak is somewhere in the bottom tank, I fill it in the bath and put some pressure on it and water just fills up flows out of the bottom tank...

First question Is my front bar Autek? If so anyone know a good place to get another one?

Thirdly, I have attached a pic of my radiator top is this a stock ceffie radiator or is it somthing else, I have an RB25 in my cef but I don't think their radiators fit so Im guessing it is a stock one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Bad luck about the front ender.

How is your intercooler?

Not sure about your raidator, could be stock, was your car a factory turbo? looks alot thicker than my ceffy's rad, my car was originally a non turbo though and i dont think the radiator has been changed :D

sorry to spam your thread but if yours is a Autech kit what is mine, i always though mine was a autech too?

My cooler took a knock and there is a crack in the end tank - but I have fibreglassed it up for the time being - Its watertight so thats a start.

My car was a RB20DE n/a - I know I have never had over heating issues, even after 10 laps of solid drifting the hottest it ever got was 95 -although the turbo and turbo manifold were well glowing.

sky80: Youve got a plethora of spares, :D I'll see how I go locally for the rad - if I can't find one this morning I'll give you a call and trek down, Thanks!

    • Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.    
    • Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out 
    • I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.
    • Can't help it, its an illness. 
    • Yep, agree with all of the above added on too. I just love the age old "what boost were you running?" Question without getting any other surrounding data. IE, may have ran 20psi, and lived for 12 years, but it was an 80 year old granma driving it to Bingo once a week and never took it over 2500rpm.
