WTF have you done Keir :) .....an R33 :) ....if you can get past the look of it there not to bad on the track......not to bad at all!

BTW.....V35 manual radiator will fit with some very minor mods......it's wider and deeper than ours but it does fit....you will have to run a trans coolers or two though.

i have that PWR trans cooler, so no problems there. I can mount it right next to the factory radiator.

whats hard about fitting it? and what mods? is a Z33 radiator the same as a V35?

i need to move on this fast as it leaks out each time i stop the car :)

just need to cut some plastic bits for the extra width.....the base was just a matter of remounting.....you can use anything....I just used some thick plastic Zipties......looks factory.....I'll take some photo's tonight as it's still mounted to the front frame.

I don't know if the 350Z and V35 radiators are the same....me thinks no....but I could be wrong!

Is it true that the 350z or one of the v35/g35 rads is compatible, with some minor modding of the radiator support?

If so I'd be going down that route, 50mm thick 350z rad's are going for $200- $400 US on Ebay motors, depends on what brand you choose.

Bigger core, alloy construction, just the issue of A/T heat exchanger to deal with.

Either will fit, but the Z33 cap will not permit you to use the stock air funnel (it is on the passenger side)

Make sure you get a G35 one and take note of the side the cap is on.... oh, and with a larger radiator be prepared to cut a bit of the "glass composite" frame

lol i was waiting for that.

you evidently havent seen me drive.

i wasnt going to buy an s14 because it looked cool..and then blow its sr20 up the first week :blink:

im hoping the rb25 lasts at least 2 weeks. lol

i wouldve got kudos if i pasted this in the skyline thread. lol

Nothing gay about driving with the arse out, eh Kier? :P

:unsure: Duuuuuuuude......

lol thanks for the info guys!

ill be getting a V35 radiator and having a shop install the factory transmission loop, or get them to install one so i can still drive the car short distances...........

:unsure: Duuuuuuuude......

what?......lot better that the factory setup....not really possible to weld up some new bottom mounts onto the plastic.....there is slots that the Zipties slot through so it all looks pretty much factory......it's all held in by the pipes and top clip's as well....would not have done it if it looked like shit or didn't work!

btw.......YEH!.....nice radiator Scott! :blink:

Seemingly... I still would like to know how much you cut out to get that beast of a radiator in there

Just a slight shave off the top fiberglass...

Mine is still stinking of coolant, dont buy silicone pipes guys if you hate the smell...

an S14 would be better, S15 better still!!

R33 is the poor man's nissan :unsure:

yeap.. thats why it only cost $5600 :devil:

its JDM's version of a commodore, my JDM bogadore is even black ..how perfect!

R33 = Bogan mobile for import owners

S15 = Great chassis, very good drivetrain, lovely looks

pfft s15 drivetrain is good for a sr20..but wont do burnouts everyday hey, again girls blouse theory :unsure:

its a 4 cylinder.. yeah lets make it do an 9 second quarter mile once or twice before it required a rebuild.. who wants that crap.

r33 however has the strongest box nissan ever made :blink:

besides.. for $5600 not exactly s15 budget no :P

(just the mods are worth what im paying for the car)

if i had the money for a s15.. id just buy a gtr :devil:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
