Hi All ,Tank size`s are different & top fixing point`s are different to so you will have to do some work ,i will get detail`s this week so if your happy to WAIT then i shall post as soon as i have info ok,cheer`s Chuckie.

great advice tom

fine, i'll re type to your standards

"i'm unsure that the position and diameter of the top tanks for an rb26dett motor is the same as an rb25det or 25neo as the are all different head designs and may not be compatible. generally gtr models also have different radiator supports and reinforcement bars due to having a fmic as standard. This may also change the mounting dimensions of the radiator"

i fitted my just jap "cooling pro" rad today

it came with the hole for the sensor in the bottom corner but mine had no sensor (my 32 had one and my 31 has one too)

had to go to a bolt shop and get a blanking plug, also the bolts that hold the radiator shroud on are different, not a perfect fit but its good

only think i'm experiencing is the temps going up in traffic (ecutalk display) must be insufficient airflow through the thick core or a bit of air still in the system

Interesting thanks Tom. I just fitted a Jayrad replacement today, re. the part number posted earlier in this thread. I haven't taken it for a drive yet but it too had the missing bung (@*$&^#@$) which I have for the time being plugged with an old sensor and silicone, hoping that it makes a 'good enough' seal.

Had to get the car back on the road as I've been without wheels for about a week and I have had to keep borrowing a car/getting lifts; I am still in the dark about the dimensions of the stock radiator (was thinking of photographing and documenting the old radiator before I throw it out) and would still love to be able to replace with a 40 or 50mm thick all-alloy one and not have to worry about the stupid plastic tanks splitting.

Has anyone else noticed that the S2 radiator part number in FAST has been superseded? Jayrad apparently are sole Aussie distributors for Denso, whom I am guessing may have made the originals? (although I know everything has a Calsonic sticker) so maybe the upgrade was to the thicker (25mm) core, which the Jayrad part is?

i thought mine was a 24mm core but the new rad is about 3 or 4 times thicker so mine was prob 16mm too

for the bung hole i took the whole rad into a bolt shop b4 i installed it and they had a bung shaped bolt thing with an alan key hole in the back

we thought it was 5/8 unf (imperial fine pitch) but there was a metric one that was a better fit (the guy muttered something about 16mm tapered thread) go to a specialist bolt place and ask them that the nearest metric is to the imperial 5/8

"i'm unsure that the position and diameter of the top tanks for an rb26dett motor is the same as an rb25det or 25neo as a there all different head designs and may not be compatible. generally gtr models also have different radiator supports and reinforcement bars due to having a fmic as standard.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
