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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
