I've done a few searches and a lot of people seem to recommend them but others say to buy a name brand one.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone that is using them, particularly in an r32gtst.

Any fitting or quality issues?

An actual pic would be great as the pic on the Justjap site isn't of the r32 one.

Thanks.

I have run one of the Cooling-Pro Radiators in my R32 for a year now and its been fantastic, no leaks whatsoever.

1400R: They were well aware of the issues with the filler neck and I believe this has been fixed. I looked at their new ones last time I went by the shop and they appear to be much better.

I don't have a photo of the core before it was fitted but I do have this one of the radiator in place

"1400R: They were well aware of the issues with the filler neck and I believe this has been fixed. I looked at their new ones last time I went by the shop and they appear to be much better."

so why continue to sell faulty goods ?

What a stupid comment.

Its a shame that you had a bung one, but from what I saw they had changes made to the design to strengthen the filler neck, ie they switched from a rolled to a solid neck. and they have a 12 month warranty on all of them - maybe you just didn't deal with the right person when you spoke to them but from what I have seen they generally replace any faulty item no questions asked.

At least 6 people I know use these things and love them, especially for the money compared to the higher cost of a PWR or Jap core.

I dont see what was stupid about it ?

I know if I was aware of fault on an item I would either point it out to a customer so they are aware of it before they buy it or wait till to sell the item

until after they were repaired

ps I could have bought a koyo rad for similar money but choose to deal with JJ deal to ease of payment etc

Its pretty simple, you imply that they are all faulty - That is completely incorrect.

We have one on an R32 GTSt race car, no problems and great performance.

It fact, the 40mm one has been so good we even have to turn off the intercooler water spray off in some races as the engine runs too cold!

didnt think I did as I said they have/had a problem means I believe its may have be fixed

Im unaware if a whole batch had the problem or if it was only single items

as I only bought one

next time Im sold something faulty and made to feel like I did something wrong I'll try an be happy about it

Edited by 1400r

yeah, i'd say they are alright for what they are, cheap and reliable, much better than standard if you've upgraded your engine a bit

although i ended up selling mine and buying a "240sx 55mm thick core" one from the US, it was about $80 cheaper overall, although one of the inlet pipes is on a different side, but that doesn;'t bother me, i'm doing custom radiator piping with stainless and silicone, and tapping two holes one for the factory thermostat, the other for a thermoswitch, because with the new radiator my old fan doesn't fit :D too big

but it all lines up fine, the radiator drops into the holes, i reckon check it out, but in the end it'll cost about the same and probably only give marginally extra cooling

Update:

Darron from justjap said the filler necks were mostly billet now.

I ordered a Justjap radiator on Wednesday and received it Friday and fitted it today.

The filler appears to be rolled but doesn't look like it should have issues.

I had to cut an 8mm strip off both side brackets of the radiator and trim the factory cowl so I could fit it.

The new radiator is 10mm less in height than the stock one so I had to put 5mm spacers on the top and bottom mounting posts

The slightly thicker radiator makes it a tight fit with the factory fan cowl and intercooler piping.

I hope my engine mounts are still firm enough to stop the engine coming forward 10mm under brakes.

I've got one which i bought a while ago. My filler leaked a bit but after a bit of bashing and filing it seals 99% now. As for cooling, it does that job well. Extremely well for the price. The top two mounting posts on mine were not in the right position so the rubber mounts are now stuffed but it works.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
