Stolen Custom Pwr Radiator With An Inbuilt Oil Cooler

I am trying to revive an ex-drag R32GTR ready for the Skylines National.

I've been so busy with work the past 1.5 years and unfortunately doing this in the last few minutes.

My great mates have been lending great helping hands. We were pretty much ahead of schedule until this morning when we rocked up to the workshop and found out that the shop was broken into. A couple of things were stolen from my car. I pretty much have spares for everything and can still get on with this project except this custom PWR radiator/oil cooler with a 16" fan.

It's a custom made radiator, which has very unique dimensions and required extensive modification to the r32 radiator bracket to fit.

It was specifically made for my car, wont fit any car, requires extensive modifications to radiator support which make the car ADR illegal (ie could only be used on race car). It has my specifically designed specifications and is not the typical PWR oil cooler built inside a radiator that PWR builds for R32 (ie I can easily spot this radiator and if I see this radiator on any race car at the track the owner will get lots of private session from me.

Since I am sure won't be able to order a replacement from PWR in a week and therefore won't be able to bring this ex-drag car back to life for the Skyline National next Sun. This radiator is pretty much useless to anyone who has it.

I am willing to pay the reward to any person who bring this radiator back with NO QUESTION ASK.

Thanks guys. It's not the end of the world and we are still a lot more fortunate than our NZ neighbours but it's frustrating to see that there are still people who just take what they don't deserve.

Hi Matt, yes I am back in Adelaide. Been here for 4 months aldready and have been soooo busy.

Will you come out to Mallalla on Sunday?

It will be great to catch up.

Sorry to hear Dahn - am super looking forward to the R at Mallala on Sunday. Will be a huge bummer if it can't make it.

Feels like some of the old crew coming together :D Wonder if Matt Whatsisname is going to put in an appearance - I am supposed to be playing poker with him Saturday night. Shame guys like Grepin and Bugalugs have completely disappeared from the scene. Munro will be there though of course on Sunday with both of his toys (not the Radical though sadly - injured gearbox last week in Sydney).

Nightcrawler, no go mate. I called on Monday to order the radiator and PWR told me they will require at least 5 days to fabricate. The workshop owner also has a lot of paper work and stuffs to do for the break in as well. So we will take our time and do this properly. This will also give me some breathing space this week to catch up with my work.

It's a pity given that we were ahead of schedule.

Yes it feels like the old crews are getting together again especially so when my mate just asked me to test his turbocharged S2K at Mallala this weekend lol

Just like the old days when you guys drove Skylines and I had my boosted s2k :thumbsup:

It will be awesome to catch up.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
