Hi

After 15 years the radiator leaks where the metal is pressed to the plastic tank. btw this is on an r32 gtst

So Aluminium radiator came to mind, but i have an auto tranny (sad I know) and I believe this is also used to cool the transmission fluid.

So could I get a transmission fluid cooler + the radiator or am i better of trying to get this fixed or getting a recon. unit.

Thanks in advance

(sorry if someone has posted something similar but the search function hasn't been working lately)

go the alu radiator and the tranny cooler,iv done the same thing,they are 100% better in my opinion,cools so much better and looks so much better as well.have a look into autotechnica they sell them,there cheap and are of decent quality.

Get the top tank replaced on your stock radiator. Done it for $175. Unless you need the extra cooling ability for racing purposes its just a wank. Autotechnica is junk in my opinion. Made very cheaply and all is copies of original good quality products. When you add up how much you will spend on an aluminium radiator, an ATF cooler, and the plumbing necessary, you will see its just not worth it. On top of that you have to mount the cooler core and screw around with plumbing. Does the aluminium radiator have provisions for the shroud to mount onto? Things like that are worth taking into account.

u can get a trans cooler n a new radiator...u dun have to run the trans cooler thru the radiator

rite now the trans cooler hoses go thru the radiator at the bottom n then back to the trans cooler

if u get a new radiator that doesnt have the provisions for the trans cooler u can just run the trans cooler seperately

thats wat ive done - easy to fit everything, u can most probz do it ur self.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
