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

    • Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys   
    • perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything
    • I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
    • lol already been put in temporarily 3 years ago
    • Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
