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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
