I'm not trig to be downer but do you need a 52mm radiator? The stock radiator is fine for decent power levels and some of the larger radiators keep the temps a bit low when street driven. I'd only consider a 52mm if your going to be racing

I spoke to PWR about a 52mm radiator and they suggested if it wasn't for track then they wouldn't recommend it on the street as you need to have enough road speed to get the air through it. I guess drift won't have the same sort of road speeds as track, so you may have the same issue. And on the GTR a 52mm needs to have the fan modified to fit, don't know about GTS.

yea the stock radiator really is far more capable than most people give it credit for. did you check the thermostat? have you pressure tested the cooling system? eliminate the head gasket? you need to do these things to first determine exactly what is causing the problem otherwise you will waste a lot of money replacing parts that have nothing wrong with them in the first 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
