arrydjay Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 So I cheaped out and bought a crappy chinese radiator, went to the effort of resizing the thread for the bottom temp sensor then realised that it was just going to be too much of a mission to fit this thing. The shop I bought it from sells these as a R33 GTST radiator, but the only thing that was right with it was that the inlet and outlet were both on the right side. The top mounts were way off, temp sensor the wrong thread and the wrong size, overall radiator size slightly smaller so the shroud didnt fit..... Anyway I have decided to sell it and get a decent one.... So far ive got the Blitz from just jap or a PWR or a Koyo.... the blitz is about $100 cheaper than the other two.... What should I go for, or is there anything else worth while? ohh and anyone wants a cheap aluminium radiator.....$100 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402305-which-aluminium-radiator/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Racepace then, they have an item tri-pass item for a very affordable price. Half the price of a PWR item which is basically the same thing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402305-which-aluminium-radiator/#findComment-6394546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatz Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 stock works a treat being a shit r33you can easily use a r31 radator( with minor mount changes) the stock ausi r31 radiator is like 250 bux from nissan and shits on all aftermarket radiators( from a great height like a mother bitch) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402305-which-aluminium-radiator/#findComment-6394648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
battery Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 That ASI one looks alright, is it a triple core or just one big core? Has anyone got any pics of the Racepace item? The ASI I had in my 32 was triple core, not sure about that 33 one though. stock works a treat Yeah I don't have an issue with mine so can't see the point in upgrading from the stock r33 rad.

ARTZ Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah I don't have an issue with mine so can't see the point in upgrading from the stock r33 rad. some muppet had put a gts radiator in mine, i initially wanted to put a new core on the stock tanks but it worked out cheaper to get an ASI ...the welds dont look the prettiest but it does the job..
