It is time for me to upgrade to a bigger radiator for my R33 gts-t

The car is only used on the street, but I am moving to far north qld at the end of the year so need something that will cope with the heat as my stock one is only just keeping up with fairly average temps in Sydney.

I have narrowed it down to:

Trust

Blitz

PWR

looking for a 40mm core.

The trust and blitz ones are about $60 more expensive than the PWR one, is the extra $$ worth it?

Are there any other ones that I should look at?

Does anyone have photos of any of these fitted, as price is similar, performance i assume is similar so it might come down to pure aesthetics

Thanks

Have you seen the Justjap ones

Good value at $400

See the trader section

A possible reason your current radiator is struggling is that it is probably block with crap from years of use

A cheap fix may be to get it cleaned out

I was considering a Koyo one, and also the just jap ones - but they have sold out (or had last time I looked).

Plus Just jap is a fair drive from my place and if you add postage it becomes not so cheap.

Thanks for the idea to clean out - i figure now is as good a time as any to upgrade (plus a nice shiny new one will look nice in the engine bay)

I think i will go for the Trust one. $760 from Nengun delivered - gives me an excuse to buy some other bits at the same time too.

I have a Race Radiators item (melb located). Direct Bolt-on for an R33 for i think $660 inc GST.

It works perfectly :)

There are lots of other ones, PWR etc. I wouldnt bother getting one from O/S when locally you can get it cheaper.

that's twice the price of the justjap one...

is it going to be twice as good?

is it even going to be better at all?

there are no just jap ones they are all sold out and have been for the past few weeks.

I have not any feedback on cooling pro products, but i see where you are coming from and agree that when you pay twice as much for a stamp or sticker that the product is not twice as good (and probably has little advantage if any).

I have heard positive feedback from Koyo radiators and lots from PWR gear (of course), and I am assuming trust/blitz will be fine too.

$660 + postage is not cheaper than a Blitz one or Trust one (not by much anyway) and its more expensive than the PWR one, is it a better product?

no offence to just jap........but there radiators are absolute sh1t

id recommend paying the money and getting an ARC radiator......im currently saving for one, even though i now have a custom built pwr radiator which is also amazing.....

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
