Hi all,

Anyone using one of Greddys alloy radiators on an R33 GTR? I have seen a few people using them and I would like to know if the factory fan shroud will fit with these or if the shroud becomes a throw away item.

Cheers,

Nick

I havent seen one fitted Nick but if i was to fit one i would definantly fit the shroud on .

Blitz - I have one on my car, the radiator shroud could not go back on, the brackets that the shroud bolts onto are not there, so I'm assuming it may be too thick and it would get too close to the engine if u were to put it back on.

With that said, I've had it on the car for over a year now and it has never overheated, the car is driven on the street and on the track aswell, on the street it sits on 84 degrees when cruising....

Hope that helps...

P.S I have a pic if ur interested to see how it will sit in the engine bay....

Hey Nick,

The shroud won't fit with the Greddy rad.

Interesting, that leads me to wonder which if any of the Japanese made radiators will allow for the refitting of the shroud?

I have a feeling that ARC allows for this

84 is not bad, and i know your car is in a much higher state of tune than mine, but with the oil cooler and standard rad my water temp always sits on about 80 degrees. do you have a big thick front mount?

My oil cooler sits behind the bumper on the passenger side behind the indicator (R33 GTR), I've also got an N1 water pump if that makes any difference.... City driving and idling in traffic it sits on 84, on the highway it drops down a couple of degrees....

Hi Nick, i got a Greedy radiator in mine and got the big girl running on the wkd woohoo would you like to post a pic or two, mine bolted straight in shroud and all. Its truely a beautiful piece of gear.

i also got nismo low temp thermostat and 8.5 to 9litre oil capiacty without the oil cooler fitted yet and run temps in cool weather seem quiet low at moment but only dont like 40kms (68 to 72deg)

Jagr33 you got your new turbos in yet and if so how did they shape up.
