i haven't tried it.. dave says no...... as his stock radiator cooled better than a just crap one. Also the top bit where the cap goes on is only pressed in rather than welded in, creating another weak point.

the pwr ones are 740, and i can't justify 740 on a radiator, especially when I've got so much other shit to fix asap.

so.. I'm thinking ... just jap, get the top bit welded and away i go.. that'll be $430... as you know what? I'm not running a 400kw gtr like dave.. and I'm sure the gtr radiators have much much better cooling qualities than the s13 ones lol.

Import Auto Parts does full alloy ones for 399 i think atm.

Then fit a stock GTR one...

so are u using the S13 one..? the S14/S15 is an upgrade for SR S13 ones..

what engine is in the S13/180sx RB26.?

nah he's advertised at 450 then i'd have to weld

jj is 400 plus welding

he seems ok with his prices, I need heaps of crap so he might be able to do me a deal if he's a small company.

yeah but you know the saying... do it once and do it properly.. plus an s14/s15 is proving hard to find!

the s14s are better than the s15 ones.. but each are only a marginal upgrade I hear.

it's an s14 engine in the 180 (hence why I lol'd at the comment of fitting a gtr radiator (not that i should lol considering i didn't tell anyone haha)

id buy the PWR one, along with a SPAL thermo and you will never have to worry about overheating your car again.

oh and hi to noel and shane as well

i should just do it hey

I should stop being a tightass.

myeah dont spent that much if you dont have too

my brother has one of these 399 all alloy rads and his stays at 80C when he is sliding, and i believe it still fine, and he is in NT atm. depends what you think is over kill really.

so his is a drift car?

another thing is.. mine is circuit.. so it's lap after lap after lap after lap.... you get the idea.

fark I just need a good mechanic to advise me on this one... someone who does what i do to the car, and does it week after week after week.

ahh i got ya..

might i also ask why u put the VCT S14 engine in the 180sx..? just curious

if u want quality scourer around ns.com or yahoo japan for a ARC or HKS tripple core or something.. but im sure a cooling pro 40mm radiator would be fine

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
