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 SAU family, having issues with my R34GTT which is slightly modified and tuned to e85. so scenario is, I’m driving the car to work (30km oneway) and then coming back in the arvo. Car starts and runs fine in the morning and on the way back home (in the arvo). I stop the car when i gets home and after 10-15 mins, it wont start. Battery is fine, fuel pump seems to be working. All i hear is engine clicks but wont start.  Last time, i disconnected the battery terminals and re connected them. Check fuses. Didnt start at that time but started after an hour (so I say when its cool down). Mechanic cant find the issue as its running now and nothing coming up in the diagnose. any advice,opinion or anyone gone through similar issue.   thanks 🙏🏻
    • 9" +35 will rub on the suspension. R33 GTR wheels are +30.
    • I know a guy with 18x9 +22 on the front of a 32 gtst, needed quite a lot of guard work, tyre stretch (215) and camber. Not sure what your current set up is, +35 won't be as much, but still a fair bit of guard work and camber.   
    • Well as expected the ECU wasn't getting proper manifold pressure reading.  Once I switched to a 3rd vacuum line directly off the back of the manifold the car runs amazing.  Still slightly lean on full throttle but only like 15 AFR, probably fixable with some tuning.
