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:

have had an asi 52mm in my car for 3 or so years, started to leak early this year, but was arilidited up and been fine since. prior to that could not fault, will buy another one without hesitation

hows this my mate ordered one from asi, complained about the quality and they sent him out another one and let him keep the original !!!

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
