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

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 :thumbsup:

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.

Koyo is one of the best vaule for money imo at about 500 and I have put it through its passes with 25min continuous drifting mainly 3rd close to limiter on a 39 degree day and temps didnt go past 95.

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..
