Stock Radiator Finally Blew.. Which Ebay Ones Are Recommended? Lol


Recommended Posts

as the title says, yes i blew my radiator tonight.

Just having a look at ebay for a aluminum one... there are so many and all at different prices.. all look dodgy to me. lol.

anyone bought one off ebay, and can recommend a radiator brand/seller?

for an r32 gtst.

thanks.

I was recommended ASI as well, but they didn't have mine in stock when I needed it (kinda urgent).

I ended up grabbing a random eBay job for $180 that I could pick up an pay cash for.

Had it for several months now and has been fine.

I did discover I had to change my thermostat too, but that was a separate issue (I'd now recommend doing radiator, hoses and thermostat all in one hit - works out much easier.)

I have a 52mm ASI in my r32 gtst. It did not fit with the factory fan. (had to fit thermo fans in)

Go for the stock size ASI radiator or find a 52mm rad which will fit (if you want larger than stock)

for ease of fitment it would be easier to go for a stock replacement style radiator, at least you will be able to refit your stock engine fan and shroud, doable for under $300 depending on brand

This might be alright: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dual-core-aluminum-radiator-shroud-fan-skyline-R32-/290719928455

I had the same issue, but ended up getting new tanks put on the old radiator as the rest of it was in good condition and I didn't want to change the fan. Was relatively expensive at around the $140 mark.

I have my doubts that will fit. I got the 52mm ASI on my r32, had to buy the thinnest fans on the market for it to fit. Stock size and retain the clutch fan.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
