CA18 silvia radiator fit an RB25 R33?

The silvia guys are using CA18 radiators in their RB25 conversions with the RB25 hoses (if I read correctly)

Radiator went pop today and im going to wait for a 52mm alloy one from Melbourne for $220. In the mean time if I can put a CA one in that will last three days I will be stoked.

Otherwise I might take my old radiator into a shop tomorrow and see the damage... seems like the top cap has leaked, or around there. They might be able to fix it for cheap?

Lol @ jumping on the peak hour bus with my radiator.

It will fit but keep and eye on the temps though as the RB radiators are 25mm thick but the CA radiators are only 10mm thick.

EDIT!! the CA rad will also be a few mm shorter but will still fit.

Two holes drilled into the rad support and the CA18 radiator brackets clamp up there all nicely! - sorta.... on a 38C day it hasn't let me down yet. 50mm alloy one arrives tomorrow or next day... finally.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
