hello guys!!

i have a31 cefiro with rb20det engine..

im building it with a tight budget.. been eating canned food and instant noodles for months T_T

there are plenty of radiators out there.. currently using standard r32 rads and it wont keep the engine cool after a few drift runs..

oh yes, i have'nt install an oil cooler as well, thinkin of getting one too..

found some radiators on ebay..

they're called KLS performance, SABER, and some others doesnt even have a description...

are they really worth buying? i really need help from the RB masters out there to help me pick a decent radiator

thank you!!

A radiator should be from 350-700 IMO. Any cheaper and i'd be questioning the build quality.

How about a R31 radiator?

The AUS delivered model is MUCH bigger than the import one, and would be cheap to come by too and perfect for what you need

anyone have any recommendation for the cheapest good radiator i can buy? (not those silly chinese built thou)

is the oil cooler really necessary after doing the mods?

ive got rb20det engine with aftermarket fmic, vg30 turbo, 3" freeflow exhaust,@ 1 bar produces 325hp @6500rpm controlled by std ecu and unichip piggyback..

i just started bulding it this year..

Ran one of those Mspec ones on my old rb20 putting out nearly 240rwkw...did a few track days and temps were fine...just make sure you have proper shrouding for the radiator...should cost you around the $300 mark...

oh btw is that 83 degrees by F or C ??

oh yea, and it sez alloy, so would it rust? :) coz usually racing rads r made by aluminium

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
