My New Radiator

[Strik3r]

so i managed to limp my car up to andy's to get a new radiator installed. As is always the case with these things, nothing went quite to plan

Firstly, in the r33's, does anyone know what the temp sensor that goes into the bottom of the rad is for.. well obviously its measuring temp, but it doesnt seem to controll anything as the guage temp sensor is in the engine...... Atm we've left it disconnected but i wouldnt mind knowing what its supposed to be doing. Perhaps it controlls the secondary fan ?

When installing the radiator, we ran into a problem.. the mounts at the top of the radiator didn't line up properly..... solution ? ZIP TIES !!

anyway, will obviously try and sort out some new mounts in the next week or so. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes with a drill.

Will let you all go how my new tune goes tomorrow.

big thanks to bunta for the huge help he gave putting this in.. legend !

What type of radiator did you purchase?

What type of radiator did you purchase?

One of those generic chineese ones that Just Jap sells

It didnt fit my R32 properly nor did it fit the R33 properly so who knows what it is for! But it works and mostly fits so for a sixth of what you pay for a big name one I reckon it is still alright!

How did you get it for $250? The lowest I have seen JustJap are $399.

If it has a butterfly nut on it that's the drain plug on the bottom, and the top mounts just flip upside down and reverse the rubber rings, drill 2 holes in closer to the middle if you need it :sorcerer:

I replaced my radiator for my old 33 it was a direct fit, isnt the plug at the bottom a coolant temp sensor?

I just found out that the little sensor in the stock radiator is for the fan apparently it only operates when really extreme temps are reached..the temp sensor for the guage ect are on the engine

[Bunta]

By the way guys Autobarn at moss street has these exact radiators for under $300

Still going ok?

[BelGarion]

the sensor controls a thermofan thats behind your front bar

coolant temp sensor for the engine is actually in the engine coolant paths that are in your plenum
