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?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
