Does anyone know what size the washer is that is required to space out the temp sensor on the R33's when installing the radiator?

Thanks

received my R33 radiator last Thursday three weeks after i deposited payment which was a bit annoying but relieved i got it!

didn't have a problem getting the old one out and the new one in!

Did need a washer for the spacing of the temp sensor, I managed to get a 16mm reasonably thick washer, approximately the size of a 50cent coin.

Don't be mistaken, the drain plug doesn't leak, you just need to turn the valve the other way as mine was set on 'open' when i received it!

Works a treat, car hasn't seen above 85 degrees with the air-con on full when before it was seeing 99degrees on 30degree days with the heater on full!

Thanks Pete!

The R34 and R33 radiators are the same.

I have not fitted mine yet but the only issue will be the radiator pipes on

whether i have to use R33 radiator pipes or R34 ones as they are slightly different.

I am putting in my radiator in shortly and will let you all know what is needed.

hey all,

yeh these radiators are awesome, ive got one in my car after my old single core radiator got blocked up, higly recommened, they look hot and are twin core, my temp. gauge in the r33 hardly goes up, and thats with the air con on, but i got mine for even cheaper, $249 at autobarn. :)

Actually, these are the same price at $250 + $30 postage. Im sure Autobarn would charge that for postage if they went to the trouble; which they dont in my experience.

yeh i jst paid $249 including postage, i asked him to give me the best deal and thats what he gave me, i was happy as.. :)

I would like the answer to that question as well... ive got a nismo 1.3 radiator cap... can i still use this cap ?

However i personally dont see any problemw with it. My stock radiator runs better with it on :thanks:

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
