Radiator Size/options

[HSV004]

radiator has developed a very smalled leak along the top. looking to replace this.

was looking on ebay and noticed they have some aluminium radiators on there for under $300, but i noticed some are different sizes ect.

what would i be looking for when buying one for a turbo R33.

cheers

Get one of these.

I looked around for a while to see what radiator to get. I wanted something that fitted perfectly retaining the factory shroud, something that looked good and was larger than factory.

It came down to a couple of Jap Brand ones which were all around the $1000+ mark, a PWR one which was similar price range or the Just Jap one which obviously wasn't as good quality but substantially cheaper. At the end of the day i got the Just Jap one and am glad i made the descision. Fits perfectly, looks great, keeps temps at bay at came with a warranty. The money i saved over the $1000 ones was better spent elsewhere. Obviously if money aint an issue the PWR/Jap brands would be choice.

Out of all the cheap ones i believe the Cooling Pro ones are the better ones and a lot better quality than the $200 ebay ones.

get a koyo radiator, got 1 for my r33 gtr and couldnt be happier.

53mm thick, fits just like oem and retains all factory parts like radiator shroud

was only $700 which is damn good compared to other jap ones

i got an ISC one, fits perfectly no probs, only thing i had to modify was the TEMP sensor hole. On my power fc my temps are always at 80-81 even when im thrashing it sometimes 82degrees

best things ive used off ebay are the ASI gear.

As a replacement - 40-45mm is all you need really. Don't need much bigger than that.

Gives you heaps of options - i would go with anything from the SAU Traders, all those products will be good enough for what you are after by the sounds of it

Koyo. very good quality and reasonable price. fit like factory.

+1 for Koyo

on the stagea, couldnt be happier

was around $500 fitted with 3yr warranty and 3yrs free servicing each december

for my track rb266dett r32 sedan I will eventually be buying the ASI unit for $199 delivered

52mm, dual core, aluminium, for harsh/high temp usage (ie track)

Don't want to hijack the thread....but just if anyone knows...i got an s14, with an rb25 poking out the front....would i be able to just buy a normal s14 radiator? or would i have to look at r33 ones, just because of the rb25>sr20

pretty sure u just buy an s14 radiator mate

[Simon-S14]

no you dont get an s14 radiator because the top port is on the wrong side. and dont get a R33 one as your bonnet wont shut as they are too tall for the S chassis

I have a 25 in my s14 and i went with a r32 ISC alloy radiator and it seems pretty good! I made my motor fit with a clutch fan and all as i have a dislike of thermo fans.

check my sig for pics

They are heaps cheap haha!!

[UWISSH!]

but if you buy n s14 1 all u have to do is get a bit of alluminium pipe bent to suit the new radiator port instead of using silicon hose n atleast that way you no the radiator is gona fit

[Simon-S14]

why do that when the R32 one bolts straight in and fits
