Hi all,

Before you say "use the search button" I've searched and found some conflicting advice; I read that R33 fits, and R34 fits?

I've contacted a Natrad dealer here in SA but it's been a couple of days now and nobody seems to know anything. JustJap have got alloy radiators for a good price but no autos.

Could you help by filling in the table... I'll start with what I "know" from reading the posts here... Obviously the manuals should suit their manual equivalent

Series 1 auto = R33 auto radiator, stagea fan shroud will bolt back on?

Series 2 auto = (R33 or R34 auto radiator)? stagea fan shroud will bolt back on?

ive fitted KOYO 53mm R34 GTT radiator, no problem. Didnt worry about auto radiator, no need, slight mod to side of factory shroud.

how much did u pay?

i just got the just jap 40mm one for $365 inc postage, just wondering if i could have gotten something better for the price

That's great stuff, thanks guys. So we could say that R34 fits S2, with slight modification to factory fan shroud? Could you tell us what you had to do to the fan shroud exactly (like cut some off, or reposition the bolt holes etc?)

Well, looks like it's no good. After lots of research and phone calls, I can't find:

a) anything alloy with the auto trans cooler

b) anything to suit R33 or R34 with the auto trans cooler which is thicker than 16mm

So it looks like I have to ditch the auto trans loop and put up with the longer time to warm-up. Just have to drive it harder in lower gears or something :blink: because the only option I have found is a custom-made alloy job with trans cooler for over $900. I suppose I should be grateful for that price though really since a genuine Nissan job is over $1,000 and that's only 16mm thick and has plastic end tanks!

One more question guys... are R33/R34 top & bottom radiator hoses the same? And which one suits Series 2 Stagea? :| I've FAST'ed for ages and they look different to R34 skyline... but I couldn't find a VIN for a turbo, which may be the same...?

Dave get them to check as there is a Radiator that`s same as Stagea i did chat to my guy here he found then ,+ it was thicker then stock on in mine ,as i toke him mine & one from 32gtst he looked & found them all in his BOOK ADRAD so get them to look harder & i think Price was about $450 & that was for Auto ok ,I will try to find out some detail`s sunday from him ok ,cheer`s Chuckie .

Thanks Skidkid and Chuckie; yes I called the Adrad distributor and he was good enough to search for me, spent some time on the phone to him, however he didn't know about anything for stagea and I suggested 33 or 34, but we only managed to come up with NIS068PACAK which has the plastic end tanks and is only 16mm thick.

Oh, and a price from a dealer was around the $550 mark.

I guess if I actually took my radiator in they might be able to find something. 1" (25mm) is thicker than 16mm too so I might check that one out.

Hi Dave ,We did find TOP TANK ,but no bottom tank ,as it`s TOPTANK that give`s up first ,i have talked to my Rad man this morning i shall meet him in week & get all DETAIL`S again & POST THEM UP ok ,but i know that the one we found was 25mm thick so that will be much better then all current one`s ,cheer`s Chuckie.

Cheers Chuckie, I think that is the go; I will take the radiator to the radiator place Monday afternoon and try to get hold of this 25mm core radiator that is a direct replacement; I am now armed with the Jayrad part number just in case they don't know what fits :happy:

As you say, 25mm is better than 16mm. And it is less than the 16mm Nat/Adrad replacement.

Buy a R33 ebay 40mm special for $200(delivered) and fit a trans oil cooler from supercheap $50.

If it ever leaks, just TIG it up!!!

lol OH to have a TIG welder in the garage... and the experience to use it without blowing holes in the work. Unfortunately I already have a good trans cooler (the stock one) but I need a trans *warmer* :) Funnily enough this is foreign to all of the radiator experts I have talked to... maybe it is true what they say, take your job to an 'expert'. And the trans expert says I need a trans warmer...

Hmm yeah I guess it's pretty hot in Queensland :)

Anybody know which radiator hoses (top & bottom) fit for us series 2 guys, by the way?

...and are R33/R34/GTR hoses the same?

im gonna go with r33 gtst, same chasis same motor, if you get gtr stuff it may be different cos of the awesomeness of the rb26's

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
