R33 Thermostat


Recommended Posts

Guy's follow the bottom radiator hose up to where it joins the motor,,,thats the stat cover,,,3 bolts from memory.

The stat is the same as a VL 3.0L,,,Nissan Part No is 21200-42L05 and it fits all R33's.

ok guys, there are a few things to know here:

firstly for the money and time saving just get a genuine nissan one from nissan parts. they are around $50-60.

second, if you want a 'tridon' one...the part number is TT268-170. this is the 77deg one. there is an 85 deg one...dont get this!

lastly if you want to waste money, get the nismo one but these are over $100 if not closer to $150 and open at 67 or so deg.

you will also need gasket goo for this as there is not a norml gasket there. i use the blue stuff...works perfect!

bellow i attached instructions from the RB engine manual.

view order 3 then 1 then 2. (sorry i didnt rename)

as the above people have said use either the tridon or stnd nissan one.

tridon will set you back about $28 and its one of the good cheapies.

make sure the jiggle pin is pointing to the top of the motor.

for gasket sealent i recomend a product from loctight.

Its a silicone based gasket goo, its loctight blue something or other.

It's the ducks nuts, will come in handy down the track to.

let us know how you go.

was reading a thread recently and a workshop operator said he'd been through a bunch of tridon thermostats that were crap, and caused problems.

just use the nissan one. also there is no reason to use a lower temperature it will NOT help you, it just means your car won't get up to temp and you'll lose fuel efficiency.

hi guys on my r33 gtst 1993 it has a braided cable that runs down threw the chassis and comes out next to the exhaust, and theres something that attaches to that which im not sure what it is or where to get another one because i scraped going over a speed hump and its pulled it out and stuffed it and i think its shorting out, my thermostat light is staying on and check engine also comes on itermitently. Any help on where i can get another one of these, and or what it is would be good cheers

Disconnect it, it's useless. Pull out your passenger seat and delete that sensor

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
