52mm should be fine as i've installed it on my cef aswell, however i've had to change to thermos and clearance is pretty tight as there was no way the clutch fan would sit there. Even with the 42mm i wasnt comfy with how close it sat, and in the end the clutch fan put a hole in the rad and cooked my motor at wakefield (blades must've gone wonky at high rpm or something). So you've been warned :worship:

also i found that with the radiators i bought, the top tank diameter was identical regardless, so before buying get them to send dimensions of the rad to you and see if it suits.

Find yourself a 40mm radiator, with that size you can retain the factory fan and shrouding and not have any rubbing or clearance issues. I think I used a cheap JustJap item and with a header/breather tank setup and I never see temps over 95 degrees on the track and 80 on the street...

thing is i'm not after a special custom one as i wont like the cost's involved.

i was more thinking for a company that isn't importing radiators i can get them to chop the height in the core for a rb specific rad before they weld the end tanks on within their batch made sets.

i'll give them a call and get a quote on a custom one and for a cut/shut of an alloy rb rad

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
