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

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

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
