so my top tank is leaking so i pulled it out and dropped it into a radiator place for them to have a look at it

the core was really thin so i'm looking at the justjap rads they have

they have a triple core 40mm one: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=300&page=1

and a twin core 60mm one: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=300&page=1

which would cool better? they both say that they retain the factory shroud but is triple core better than twin or is thicker better than thinner?

just incase your wondering, its an rs4s = manuel

i would go the 60 if you can fit it in . holds more water =win .

i have a rs four s and i put this one in

the only problem is the mounting pins are too taf back for the factory mounts . if you look at the radiator from the top you will notice the pins are along the centre line . they need to be offset towards the front . it will fit but its not ideal

When it comes to radiators, the more coolant you can hold in the system the better. I have a 52mm alloy radiator and its been one of the best decisions I've made. A week of 40+ degree days didn't see the temp needle budge at all.

:D

just take the car to your local ultratune and get them to turn it into a custom purple R32

Is this still going?

Pipster, others are on the right track here, the 60mm core will hold more liquid= win. Also the 3 core 40mm may actually be less efficient than stock due to the extra core and the extra restriction it presents.

60mm core if you have the room.

I've got same issue with my 52mm radiator - mounts need to be offset.

Go The 40mm pipster - less restriction to airflow & Shroud should fit too.

Mine actually ran cooler (1'c) with 40mm out of my R32.

I just fitted alloy L bracket from bunnings ($6 & 50mm by 20mm) between top mounts to cover fan.

Didnt even bother NSW or QLD RWC inspectors!

Might want a HOT sticker on top of Radiator as bit warmer than plastic tank!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
