I want to buy a alloy radiator

Problem is i need a r32 radiator as that is the car and i need the mounts to line up but will the hoses line up on a rb25det?

Basically i need one but need to know if i can use a r32 one on a rb25det engine or if i need different hoses etc.

ALso what kind of Thermo fans are you all using. I really need to sort this over heating issues out bare in mind i am in Darwin and the temps up here are around 36 most days with around 80% humidity. it gets hot and my engine hit 105degrees alot.

Any suggestions would be great

the RB series radiators outlets are the same if not very similar

i would get the R32 one and if you have an issue with hoses make something up to fit (its a very simple job)

ill see if i can find the fans and take a pic for you

yeah those fans are nice, i would love to install some but my car stays cool enough,

as your in darwin aswell, i would suggest your get a 19row oil cooler, it will drop your water temp 10 degrees :)

so that and a alloy radiator should drop your water temp down below 85

If your interested I brought a set of el i think ford fans same twin thermo setup but couldnt get em to fit in my gtr with minor trimming they would have fit a 32 radiator okay just wouldnt clear the power steering

Am in darwin and could probly yank the radiator too if ya were keen to check one out as motor is coming out anyway

In darwin so pm if ya wanna look reckon there was an alloy 32 radiator on boostcruising Darwin section recently it mighta sold already though

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
