Just wondering who is running an r33 thermostat in their r34's?

My mate works at supercheap and on the shelf are r33 thermostats but r34 ones must be ordered in

i looked through the tridon book and the only difference i can see is the opening temp being 72 (r33) instead of 76 ( think)

all the other dimensions seem the same

Shelf price is $41 for the r33 unit, book price is $46 for the r34 + freight

If he buys it for me we will get 25% off too so will be about $31

Hay or Nay?

as long as it will actually fit in then there is no problem. i'm not sure on whether there is a physical difference in them though. the cooler opening temp may play around a little bit with the ecu though (very minor difference) so you may see a slight increase in fuel economy (if you do it will be barely noticable).

      Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP.

      No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently.

      I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
