got a small problem with my just jap aluminium radiator its leaking like a lil b*tch, can these be repaired? if so can anybody tell me a reasonable place out in sydney (with decent work) that can fix this up asap, i know i can get it replaced at just jap, but if i cant id like to have options available, at the moment due to the size of the leak it looks like a cracked weld, but id really have to take the radiator off and pressure test it properly to find the exact spot but its on the passengers side for sure :P..............HELP ME :banana:

was yours aluminium as well? how much they charge you? was yours still on the car? i know i got alot of questions but its because id rather not travel to kirrawee and risk frying my engine as the radiator is still on the car, and i doubt justjap would send out another one and have me send the old one back again....

Where abouts u coming from?

That would help finding a place near you.

I had the same problem as you and some radiator places dont weld alminm, and some places which do alminm welding dont do radiators.

But since your asking for places in sydney, they are all gonna be approx the same distance from you as what JJ is.

And , yes i am bored, but its just obviously gonna be cheaper to remove the radiator and swap it at

Just Jap, rather than rapairing it at different place.

but i think you need to calm the f**k down anyways

take out radiator. put stock one back in. now drive the car to just jap and get it replaced. :P

unless you don't have the stock one, in that case hit up a mate for a lift out there.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
