the isc one is. even keeps the standard fan and fan shroud. never had a problem with it and i've been rocking it for 3 yrs now

-D

Also had one in my R32 GTR and now my S14 and its a direct fit + lower temps (especially at the track), no problems at all. Only thing you may need to do is re-tap the temp sendor hole as its made for an aftermarket sensor.

+1 for the ISC Rad,

Had one for a few years myself now after my stockie died and very happy with it.

was this the one that went into the S14 though or an R32? Never had any issues with an R32 rad fitting into an R32 before etc. We havn't fitted one into an S14 before so I can't comment on that fitment (we have fit them into S13/180sx and A31 though). The cap supplied with the radiator should fit up 100%, if there was an issue then I could have been contacted to help etc.

was in the s14.. the cap that came with it was fine. but the height of the neck on the rad was different from an OEM rad.. i only picked this up recently as the problem and cause of all my overheating issues... this was after i pulled my head off and replaced HG and all that.. so was slightly annoying to find something so small and simple such as a design fault in the rad to be the problem.

Why do you class it as a design fault though? Like I said the r32 rads work 100% fine when installed into an r32 etc. Yes they may need very slight modification to fit an a31 as it is an r32 rad but the mods would be very minor. Not trying to start any arguments here guys, the feedback is appreciated.

its a design fault if it doesnt seal the radiator cap properly isnt it. im not saying all of them are like that as you've got plenty people who run them with no issues but this particular one did have issues. I ended up throwing it out as scrap alloy... put a stock radiator in and all problems gone. also tested on another R32 and some problems were there with rad.

it also held pressure in the system. after a week of not driving you'd pop the cap off to check coolant and there would be pressure trapped in there. this was same on other car tested also. this is not normal and shows that its not allowing the cap to open its drain back valve as coolant cools down

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
