From what people have said who I have asked with regards to the radiator cap they should be ok. Many holden/ford cooling systems run a 1.3bar system and the cheepass chinese radiators for these have no probs with the caps so I don't expect these to be any different. Obviously over time any radiator is going to deteriorate and eventually rupture for one reason or another. The best way to keep a radiator in good shape is good coolant and regular changes to keep the system clean.

Anyway, when I get mine, sometime next week now :/ cos autotechnica have no stock will let you all know how I go.

Anyone in wa ordered a r33 rad but hasnt fitted it to their car yet? i would like to test fit ie slide into place in my cefiro to see if it clears the bonnet. cheers froggah

just been at the casino spending all ya coin people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol :P

basic rundowm:

as soon as your money is deposited into my account I send it to the supplier with your address

it then arrives hopefully in a day or two at your joint(normally about a week)

worst case was 2 weeks due to a lack of stock back at Christmas time

I don’t make any coin on these so be nice :P

I seriously encourage people to pick them up from seven hills as it avoids me dealing with people who presumably are risking 3 years salary, or so it seams as they call me 8 times 3 seconds after depositing the coin.

Stay cool breath and after 7 days call me to give me shit

  • 2 weeks later...
cores are smaller than end tanks...

Yah, the core isnt the same width of tank, moot really.

Has anyone fitted one to an R32 yet? Any issues?

Dummied it up week or two ago. Check my b l o g for a picture installed - don't laugh :ninja:

The unit sits 10mm lower then the stocker. (you can just see the top support rods don't really clear the top bracket rubber mounts, in my photo)

No real issue, as you can just flip the brackets upside down, flip the rubber mounts around too.

With fan shroud bolted up, the blades have heaps of room to spare.

hey all spoke to pete/fatz, he will be on holidays for the next 2 weeks but those who have ordered latley will be sent out and if you want to find out delivery time frame speak to john at UAS while pete is away.

cheers.

Hi guys,

How hard is it to replace radiator on R33? It is a matter of removing top mounts,loosening fan shroud and pull up? Are there any tricky items? Do you have to remove the fan to access? I was told 2 hours to replace which suggests that it's not a super quick thing to do?

Thanks for your help in advance. Have searched for Radiator link in DIY but they seem to have been removed.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
