Folks I need to borrow/buy a radiator to suit the GTR 32.

Days prior to taking my car off the road for the rebuild the top radiator hose was overtightend by a mechanic which broke the top radiator pipe the hose fits over. Fortunately I was standing beside him when he did it and we checked it out, 50%-60% snapped off. However still trouble with getting it resolved. Whilst I have this matter sorted out with the garage I am in need of a radiator as the top hose keeps blowing off, the remaining top pipe is not sufficeint to keep the hose on.

Any help appreciated.

(especially if you have a Koyo lying around) :(

tuneagent.com.au koyo radiator 53mm (i just had it sqeezed in my already tight engine bay) he is a local dude and has some in stock.

ohh don't go for rubber hoses get silicone both for the top and bottom of the radiator, also check you're thermostat, as well as the proper rating radiator cap.

Australian built R31 radiators are a decent twin core design and fit straight into later model Skylines, I know of a few people that use them as upgrades. $200 should get you a brand newie. I'm not sure if it's an upgrade for a GT-R radiator, are GT-R ones any different to a GTS-t radiator?

Hey, what about the awesome datto radiator huh?

Have a look in the aftermarket too. I know PWR amkes a few different "bolt in" options for skylines that are not stupidly priced.

Thanks everyone.

Goran - couldn't find Koyo on the tune agent site. Seems there PWR ones for around $900. There spose to be good...but a tad expensive for my budget ATM. However Can you PM me with details of the one you got please.

Anthony - the dato radiators a good offer. Not certain if they fit. Youd think so but may try to slightly upgrade due to the opportunity.

Mark. I'll look into it but as above.

Thanks crew.

Thats right - went to JnE Performance Parts & Services over the border and received an as new Rad and install at highly competitive rates. Whilst there was treated to choccy biscuits and cafe style coffee. I highly reccomend this shop for all your GTR needs :cheers:

I'm still, when $$ permit, get me one of them Koyo Rads. TuneAgents rock!

Ta JnE !

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
