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.

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
