Dont bother with them,

Bought one for a mates GTI-R and it fit ... after a mammoth struggle to get it in there.

Bought one for my gtr and didnt come close to fitting, bottom tanks just massivly too thick either that or the bottom mounts are way off. Tried to fit it into mates r31 with more room than mine and also didnt fit. Since i bought it 3 months ago and it now has a slightly dinged up core from trying to make it fit i've just given up on it and written it off, doubt its worth contacting them as i dare say they wouldnt be interested in returning it / exchanging it.

ASI = fail :D

I bought a asi one for my gtr, too thick and cant run the shroud and the thread for temo sensor in bottom was wrong. Put it in the china shit pile and just bought a koyo, bolted right in like factory.

its the same thing with the large koyo rads (3 versions from memory), shroud modding etc.... even the $1000 jap one (largest avail) needed shroud work.

Just purchased there 52mm core radiator for my r32 gtst

The core alone is actually 56mm which made it almost impossible to fit

and the thread for the sensor does not fit either which didn't bother me

Ended up bending a shit load of fins installing it

Had to cut about 1 cm off the clutch fan to make it fit because i wanted to retain the stock shroud

Also had to take off the bottom bracket for the power steering lines

Wish i got the 42mm core from them which would of fitted perfectly

Not sure how it will hold up on the track but will find out shortly

'You get what you pay for'

Will post pics up tomorrow

Cheers

An old thread but i bought one of these today (the importer is my neighbour) and was surprised how thick it was. I could not fit it by just removing the OEM rad and shroud. Onc i removed the clutch fan it dropped straight in and bolted up fine. The temp sensor was also fine. So far so good. I think the quality may have improved as none of the welds looked dodge but only time will tell.

I killed my first one at eastern creek, the fan must have flexed 10mm near redline and contacted the fins at the bottom casing a massive leak.

I just installed my new one i ordered and unfortunately it is leaking from near the bottom tank even without pressure.

I have contacted asi and so far he has been replying without a drama and said he will swap it no problems. I am using a stock 32 radiator for now though and hoping for a refund

I bought one of these 18 months ago. My first one started leaking within 30 minutes of driving. I emailed the seller explaining the situation and he sent out a replacement immediately (also offered a refund), no questions asked. Didn't even ask me to send the faulty one back. Great customer service.

18 months later and it is still going strong and performing well in track duties.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
