Hey guys,

Need some help. my mechanic says i need a new radiator and front shocks to pass rego.

Really dont want to buy a used r33 radiator that is pushing 16+ yrs old so can anyone tell me if this ASI radiator is a direct fit to r33 Gts-t? will i need the fan shroud to go with it or able to keep stock r33 fan??

Also front shocks are leaking and worn. Cant afford to upgrade to coilovers so going to stick with just buying some shocks. Will r34 standard shocks fit an r33?

Having trouble sourcing shocks, if anyone has any for sale PM me please!!

Cheers,

Ryan

33 and 34 shocks should be the same from what i have read on coilover fitment, its the rears that differ i think...

You can see in the pic that the radiator has the locations for the existing shroud, should be fine!

Thanks mate, so just to verify. I can buy the radiator and keep the existing stock shroud i already have?

Yes, that is what they are designed for.... BUT please do not fit this yourself if you are not mechanically minded, leave it for the workshop to do. Fitting the Radiator is a very easy job but bleeding the cooling system needs to be done spot on to avoid destroying your engine by overheating etc.... There is some DIY threads on 33 cooling systems on SAU, if you can find it with the search function google it with the SAU title and you shall find :) Good Luck with rego!

Mechanic will be fine with it, remember to allow cash for fitting time and also coolant change as its the best time to do it!

In terms of shocks on skylines i have had no experience, car has always had coilovers fitted. They have a good warranty period, check feedback from other buyers maybe?

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
