if youre going to get an aftermarket radiator, probably worth investing in an aftermarket temp gauge too so you cna actually see the temperature of your cooling system, rather then the arbitrary gauge that nissan provided us with that is good for nothing...

PFC works well too if u got one.

Read the first part of this topic....but then got a little bored of the he said, she said, some alien said.

Repairing a STD radiator is expensive and usually a temporary fix.

Replace the STD one with an aftermarket alternative, reuse the clutch fan and shroud.

I have a spare 35mm ARC one for a GTR, for anyone who has drama's with their STD one and wanting an alloy one.

Direct replacement...std shroud and fan fit.

ARC....make the best cores, bar none. $600 no offers.

I have noticed the temp gauge starts to move from the middle position at around 103.

I am going to go with a 40mm tripe core alloy radiator and keep original fan and shroud. hope to have it by next weekend as I am sick of doing 80km/h on the highway to keep it under 95 degrees.

hopefully it is the lost pressure from the crack in the top tank causing the extra heat, and not the engine running lean. a tune isnt too far away, so i guess i'll find out soon.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
