Got a Brand New Autotechnica Mspec Aluminium Rad For $149 with free shipping from Ebay.

(Old Rad was leaking up top.)

Guys at the place where I got it installed, (Natrad) reckoned it was the best money I could spend on my car.

They were very impressed. Quality is great. Their replacement would've cost at least $600 and I think NISSANs was even more $$$.

Replaced thermo and hoses at the same time along with the appropriate red coolant. Checked for stray current, all good.

Done 10,000 kms with no issues.

Ebay aftermarkets. FTW. :thumbsup:

Fellas all these ebay radiators, are they all drop in and direct replacements ? Like sometimes with parts they say its for such a car but you have to modify it to fit...

if its a direct fit ill be buying one soon :)

Thanks fellas, and wud it be wise to get a 52mm over a 40mm or are they all the same shit? been told you gotta cut shit with a 52mm for a R32 GTR ? true or nah or what will i need to cut?

thanks !

I ended up fitting a 52mm ISC radiator to mine - direct drop in - and they're SAU affiliated for discounts.

Ordered in the morning, arrived that afternoon.

Temperatures on my R34 have now stablised on really hot (45C) days when stuck in traffic, and pretty much don't get above 90C even when pushing it through the hills. I couldn't ask for more.

hi guys

you say bolts straight into R33 .. do you loose the fan? or is there room? if not do they run ok with out?

i have a 42mm and theres heaps of room for the clutch fan and the original shroud to bolt on.

52mm one in mine as pictured, same as the 1st link in the OP.

Fits perfect with the stock shroud. Just need to find some bolts for the shroud as the stock ones are selt tapper type screws. (Hint, H22a Prelude cam cover bolts fit perfectly and suit it well :P )

Only mod you need to do is trim a 10mm snip into the bottom of the shroud so it clears a bolt on the AC (or power steering) cant remember. Once that 10mm is trimmed out, it drops straight in.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
