Hey,

Background Information: 350-400hp R33 GTS-T driven rarely on the street, mainly used for track work

Im currently running stock r33 gts-t radiator and radiator hoses. Im looking to upgrade, im not interested in anything china so please dont suggest it. I'm not sure what size i should go and if i go for a larger size i will have issue with head soaking.

Atm im looking at Nismo, ARC, Trust or Koyo. Nismo and ARC and both similar price and at the higher end of the scale.

Any input on size and brand would be great. Also would it be in my best interested to replace the stock clutch fan with twin thermo fans setup? And if so how do you go about removing the stock clutch fan?

Thanks Michael

Hey Michael,

I've heard good things about the EL/AU twin thermo fans. There good, flow very well, cheap and have a shroud. Only need to made minimal mods to make it fit (cut shroud and wiring). If you choose twin thermo's make sure you use a shroud to guide the air thru the thermo's.

I'll be running the twin AU falcon thermo's with a Greddy alloy 50mm radiator and a sard breather kit.

The stock clutch fan has 4 x 10mm bolts behind the vicous centre. unscrew them, take the fan and vicous out, then screw the bolts back in as it holds the water pump pulley on.

Hope that helps,

Johno

Edit, there was a company in the states who can do a 50mm Koyo rad for about $450 delivered.

Race Radiators (here in melb)

$660 inc GST replacement for the R33 GTS-t

Brilliant piece of work, ive got one in my car, and a few other guys i know are running them.

Top fabrication on them... in this instance, go the local product :)

Keep the clutch fan also, GTR's here in Melb dont alter the setup and make a fair whack more power than you are.

dont do what i did and weld tanks to a cut down mack truck radiator like i did the intercooler. the only time it gets up to temp is doing circle work at the local burnout pad, the minute it gets a wiff of air flow it cools better than my dads double door Maytag fridge/freezer. lol

ended up removing the coolant temp circut from the ecu completley as it would constantly run rich

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
