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

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
