Thanks for your help much appreciated

I may have to have this one repaired until such time as I can replace it

It is annoying to have to spend money on something just to through it away in the near future

Thanks again

Phil

Wouldn't the radiator from the R33 fit?

If so;

(check boombop shop at eBay Motors for a much nicer price)

I have an Infinity G35 Mishimoto radiator for my M35.

VERY nice unit.

No trans cooler in them though, but you could just get either a Mishimoto or PWR trans cooler (I have both and will be running them in parallel).

I went to a NATRAD store and they fitted (pretty sure from an R33 auto series 2) a 5mm thicker Koyo aluminium radiator

works a charm, temps are now always low

and your trans gets bought up too temp how?

Transmission gets pretty warm on these things quite quickly.

It was my understanding that the transmission cooler in the radiator (bottom tank & surrounded by coolant) was there to help cool the transmission fluid.

But I read above that it is there to warm up the fluid?

What keeps the trans fluid from over-heating then?

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but "please explain"?

sure,

I spoke to RaceRadiators about a unit for my car, They told me best to stay with OEM, as the tube thru the rad brings it up to operating temp nice and quickly, and the small external trans-cooler is for stopping it for getting too hot.

Maybe I am a bit slow (a BIT??), but it still does not make sense to me.

The tube through the radiator has fins and is submerged in coolant. How does this "bring it up to temperature"?

I would have thought it would have kept it cooler...

the engine heats up quicker than the trans due to shit going boom inside it

LOL :wub:

That did come to me... later.

What about a manual trans then?

They generally don't have the tube going through the radiator, correct?

manuals dont require any form of cooling in street application from what i know

they also lack the tube thru the rad, so you can just use a justjap or similar alloy rad for 300bux

So how does the trans temp get up to operating temperature in a manual then?

Does it need to?

Why different to auto? Something to do with the torque converter I presume??

Sorry about all the q's, but if you don't know something...

I run a 50mm alloy radiator in the stagea (manual) but when I had my vl and the trimatic I never used the radiator to heat up the trany fluid that was with over 600hp. Every automatic street car I have had I have replaced the trans cooler with a larger unit if the radiator needed replacing then in went the biggest one without auto cooler in it. The fluid will heat up fast enough and the hotter it gets the more damage you do.

Here is the news

I went to a radiator place here in Ipswich he had a look at it and after telling him what I wanted to do with the car he sed that the standard radiator would do the job. He ordered the parts there on the spot and for $187.oo the job would be don tomorrow. All I have to do is pull it out (took all of 1hr) and put it back when it is finished. There just happens to be an auto place right next door so tomorrow when I have more time I will ask them about the auto line in the bottom tank and pass on the info.

Thanks

Phil

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
