hi i have a s1 stagea and am looking at having to get a new radiator.

so i would like to know if they are the same as r33/34 gtt or gtr?

i could get a after market 1 but not want 1 at the moment as i have other things to do.

so i ask because my mate is changing his r34 gtr 1 and might be able to grab his stock 1 for the moment

i think the r33gtr radiator did fit, there was a thread just before this somewhere asking the same question, try searching for it.

but in regards to the r34 radiator, i wouldnt know, i always thought they were thicker than the other skylines.

dont quote me on that tho.

ok i think its leaking at the top. i not shore but think its where the tank meets the core.

i am using my mates cap to see if it coming from there but i dont think it is

You can get the tank off and refitted. Cheaper than another rad

i think i was looking at $170 for a new top tank + rod the core and clean it out

my top tank was split under the filler hole

or get a brand new rad for $200ish (i went the hard way and wasted $350ish on a justjap alloy rad, it was leaking after 18 months)

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
