Hi Guys

I have a crack in the top tank of my R34 GTT (1999) radiator, i can get a second hand radiator for about $150. but was wondering if this is a job you can do yourself

if you dont have the best car maintance knowledge?

Has anyone done this before, the car has a thermo fan on the front of the radiator also.

can anyone drop some knowledge on me

Cheers Brent

Its an easy job to replace the actual radiator itself but MAKE SURE you bleed the cooling system correctly, if you are not confident then dont do it!

As for the fan, if you mean in front of the radiator then its probably the A/C fan you are referring too, there should be a condenser between the fan and the radiator?

Thanks for getting back to me,

Yes mate it is the aircon radiator in front, didn't realise how thin the actual radiator was

As for bleeding it is it just from one of the lowest hoses or some where else?

Cheers Brent

there is a bleed screw up near the plenum. do a search for threads on how to bleed the system

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
