Anyone put an alloy radiator in an m35 yet?

Fenix are a good choice - made in NZ, not china, and good local support. Discounts for NSW club members too.

:google:

350z radiators have the cap on the wrong side.

It will foul with your intake funnel into the airbox.

I am led to believe that the pins at the bottom of the tank that slip into the support holes are located a little too far forward or back (can't remember) on the 350z radiators.

Sooo... Iain... you'd have a spare stock BOV now, right? :whistling:

Castor arm bushes are those poly bushes Craig was doing, right? Were yours just shagged or are the poly ones that much different?

As Duncan would know as an SAU NSW member I fitted a 42mm one to the R33 which required no trimming at all but needed a little fiddling with the aircon temp sensor (some R33's have no issues with the sensor).

I also fitted the same one to the stagea which required a small amount of trimming of the central part of the shroud (due to the extra thickness of the core).

Both are working well and quality looks good. Pricing for SAU members and speed of delivery get a tick from me.

Thanks I'll try him tomorrow.

Let us know how you get on; it's on my list to do before summer.

The OEM rad is barely adequate in hot weather, and nowhere near good enough once you put a bigger intercooler in front of it; which is also on my list...

Fenix don't do a full alloy radiator to suit M35/V35. They have them listed but they are just 350z ones. Full credit though, once I got onto them the guys were pretty helpful and obviously didn't want to sell me the wrong thing (like SO many people I've spoken to in the last day).

Top of my list right now is a Koyo V35 radiator. Wbperformance.com will do them for USD $405 shipped, just not sure how trustworthy his site is. Otherwise USD $452.50 shipped on eBay.

Since you're in Adelaide, did you just call someone like Tonkins or Adrad? Adrad are Koyo dealers too.

Although I'm rapidly finding out that even with trade accounts a lot of this stuff is cheaper overseas...

Way cheaper. Just rang a place that Adrad referred me to and not only could he not find a part, I asked for a ball park price on a R33 Koyo full alloy radiator (that was what he was trying to sell me despite saying "V35, G35" over and over and over) which was $900.

Tonkins as in the car audio place?

      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
