Hi all,

I have for sale, one used, but as-new excellent condition, genuine ARC SMC 'Prestige-R' Alloy Radiator which I recently purchased for my GTR.

This is the SMC-55 (55mm Thick) version, and is designed for BCNR33/ECR33 but should according to a few workshops I have asked, should also fit in to a BNR34/ER34 without any fuss.

Temperature sensor cable connection and ARC radiator cap included - This unit also features a drain plug.

Its common knowledge that ARC manufactures the best radiators and intercoolers available in Japan, which is why I spent some time locating this one with the intention of using it in my R33, however due to going a little crazy with the Christmas spending, I have chosen to put it up for sale so my loss is your gain :(

The ARC SMC-55 Prestige-R retails in Japan for ¥176,000 (~$1955AUD) + Shipping, taxes and GST.

With this in mind im asking $950 firm

Located in Sydney - Postage available at the buyers expense ;)

More info available on the ARC Japan Website

Well this was spoken for, however due to a now well-know timewaster stuffing me around to no end and never paying, its still available.

I *may* negotiate slightly on the price, for serious buyers only.

Someone give this awesome bit of gear a new home :(

Thread update!

I have just cleaned and looked closely at this radiator and found it isnt the SMC-36 as I originally believed, but a quick measure up reveals its actually ARC's SMC-55 (55mm) version - Which retails in Japan for 176,000 Yen!

Get in quick for a massive bargain people - If it doesnt sell quickly im going to use it myself.

This is the BEST you can buy!

    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate
