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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
