Hi guys,

My R33 GTST got a serious problem now. I went for a mechanic to repair my clutch last week. Until yesterday i noticed the temperature for the car shoot up to "H". Before that i only smell some radiator coolant coming out from the aircon vent and the front demister.

So surprised that when i open the radiator cap, the whole rediator dried up. After i did some investigate, notice that it's actually leak out from the plastic under the dash board.WTF.... Wat's the coolant doing under my dashboard...??? The coolant wet the whole carpet of the passenger side.

I am so blur now.. Cause i dunno wat actually happen... Someone mind to tell me why would this happen plz? It's because they break it when they fix the clutch??

Basically the heater works using a small radiator in the aircon unit under the dash, air gets pushed past it and heats up!!

i had mine do the same thing about year and a half ago --- still; not fixed as it takes alot of time to fix, have to remove the dash completely then remove the heater core and get that replaced/fixed!!! will be getting that done next week so i'll post here on how much to fix etc!!

heater should still work abit but not well, and would suggest either getting it fixed now or bypassing the heater inputs in firewall til you can get them fixed!!

or you'll keep that not so nice smell in your car, and run the risk of doing damage to engine due to over heating!!

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
