I was at the wreckers, the VN commodore is a nearly perfect fit.

Call Randy at NISSCO in Bayswater and ask what he put into the ' moster red dr30 that vincent had' i think it was some sort of falcon or commodore.

If youre after an alloy one, look at the S13 range for the SR20 or CA18det. the inlets/outlets are in defferent locations, im not 100% familiar with what goes on with th FJ but the radiators are CHEAP from tawian, like less than $200 landed, off the ebay...

there are real pricey ones, and also cheapi ones...

but the fitment is near spot on too.

I have a 3 core copper Australian spec MR30 item,has inbult auto radiator cooler bult into the bottom tank. it does need a bit of a repair (stone chips in the top section of the honeycomb)

Its only worth as a spare to me for in the future, or sell it for the c0pper!!

Currently installed and running, leaks about 200ml a week.

Dunno how much its worht but fell free to make an offer. Im gatehring funds to get some exhaust mods done (the age old 'over the diff 3 inch' trick)

Hey davo, yes everything is all dude.... you speak my langualge@!

another tip for radiator fitment, something I was quite keen to do. theere is a N13 pulsar that is NOT aus made, so the jap version. the radiator is a 3 core copper, the hoses are in the right location for the L series too.

the thing is its width (left to right) is narrower than the stock item, it leaves about 20cm on the passenger side. in this area I wanted to get a sheet of stainless and fill up the gap, but use it for the 2 intercooler pipe holes, and the cold air intake hole.

strap a thermo fan onto the rad to keep temps normal, would do a pretty good job,

i spoke this through with a ralley engineer a few years ago and he says its a great idea as teh cooler piping will be super short.

Why would you want a 3" exhaust on your L24E? Even if it's turbo'd it's too big.

Remember quality is better than size when it comes to exhaust and an n/a needs a certain amount of back pressure to work, but an turbo exhaust needs none.

another idea that Randy at Nissco suggested was an EL Falcooon aloy rad with thermos - dime a dozen and cheap at the wreckers

on another note (if andrew wanted to know) my chaser is pushing out 220kw at the wheels now :thumbsup: Bit more fun than the old dirty 30 hehe

still keen on a 240z for my next car though

I had quotes from pwr to make up a custom ally rad based on my stock dr30 one. I'll most likely

go down this path and post results up later

~$800 later and it would do the same job as any of the ones we have just mentioned unless you plan on drag racing your DR30 and pumping it full of Nitromenthanol fuel and going all twin turbo on it lol

save ya coin for something else and get a second hand/reco radiator

:cool:

You can't get cooler than your thermostat tells it to be... if you start having overheating problems, then spend your money on more cooling, until then, give the money to me...

Cheers,

I'm getting a custom 3 row alloy radiator made up for the PNV. I don't really care about the cost, as I want the smaller filler neck so I can use the smaller 1.3 caps and I need to have the overflow going to the driver's side so that the intercooler piping can go through the radiator support panel where the overflow bottle is now. With a re vamped 2818cc capacity, I figur the extra cooling capacity wont go to waste.

Cheers, D

i got a alloy 2core for a honda civic (yes honda civic lol) in my dr30 coolin a rb20. keeps it under 100deg on the track. was only like 150 or somethin off ebay. in/outlets would b wrong 4 a l series tho

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
