Hey guys

Have been thinking about getting my car on to the track and two questions are burning a whole in my mind.

number 1 - is it worth replacing the stock radiator??

My car makes about 205 rwkws @ 13psi, so its not hugely modified, yet its not stock either. I have been looking at the cooling pro radiators from just jap which are alloy and 60mm thick. They retain the factory shroud and id just be using the stock clutch fan.

Do these perform much better if at all than the stock r33 radiator?? and also is it even worth replacing in the first place? as my stock radiator works perfectly fine to my knowledge anyway. i just dont want the car overheating.

and question 2 - oil coolers.

i have been looking at the cooling pro ones once again from just jap, they seem like pretty decent quality?? (one of the 11 bar kits including filter relocation)

Also since i have bugger all tools at my disposal at the moment, how much would you imagine it would cost for someone to fit an oil cooler for an r33 series 1??

my car is 95% a daily driver, im thinking about having a few spurts on the track when the oppurtunities arise, i really just want piece of mind about the temps in the engine bay if i do a few hot laps.

same kinda deal with the oil cooler??? any money i can save will be going towards a turbs upgrade and coilovers as well :D:(

i guess best bet may as well be just bomb it round the track a few laps and see how high temps get. next track day around my way is in december, so the hot weather will really test it!

Oil cooler is good to get.

Are you running the stock turbo @ 13psi? If so, for track you really need to back it off.

Otherwise you will kill it just due to the heat that track brings, the rear wheel wont take it for long at all.

Some people's have died on their first track day out :D

What are the temps of the oil that people reach out on the track?? I personally have never seen over 88degrees in my car.

Higher than 88 thats for sure.

10-20mins on a track sprint is nothing compared to even a spirited squirt on the street...

Given brakes probably wont last more than 3-5 laps before requiring a 'easy' lap or two before getting up it again...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
