My radiator heater tank is leaking, and the rest of my radiator isn't looking too good either, so I'm looking to buy a new one. Where's a good place to look?

I have a s1 r33 gtst

Thanks in advance guys!

got my radiator from ebay. perfect fit and works great.

Really if it is leaking and in bad shape then you need to get it replaced ASAP. Just head to a radiator shop...

Go see the guys at Holden Hill radiators or someone similar. They have Koyorad and Adrad usually in stock and can fit them pretty quickly.

Even go a thicker core while you are at it :)

The ebay ones can be hit and miss. Do you really want to entrust one of you engines most critical processes to something that is not of a certain quality.

Well that is how I think...

Woops my bad - should have posted this here: My apologies to the mods.


I'm doing a suspension mod and need some 3/4 bright mild steel rod. Where can I buy this stuff from in Adelaide. Preferably southern Adelaide...


Google comes back a few results, all of which are NFG. If only JB Cameron's or somebody would open in Adelaide... There must be an equivalent ?


Thanks!

We've put ebay alloy rads in 4 cars now, and they are all great. Put a 50mm dual row in the R33 the other week as the plastic top hose nipple was cracking in the original - was a tight fit but no problems. I think it was around $150 shipped. Had to mod the intake snorkel slightly to clear the radiator, but other than that it bolted straight in.

Hey Pete, remember at Kadina I was telling you about how I was mining Bitcoins and all about the whole alt-currency concept? Well back then a Bitcoin was worth just over US$100 - they are about to crack US$1,000 per Bitcoin!!!!!

Luckily I have a few :ninja: - but not nearly as many as I would like. Sadly in July I decided that the electricity cost and hardware depreciation was not justifiable at around US$100 per Bitcoin - I was only just breaking even. Wish I had a time machine now!

But I wouldn't be nearly as sad as his guy (I think I told you this story back then).

But update the price of that pizza to around US$9M now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...should've listened to you bud! :/

The running costs and constant supervision freaked me out a little but yeah, in the same vein, I wish I bought a whole bunch of properties at the turn of the century.

With the massive property boom we've experienced, I'd be a squillionaire now!!

Might try and invent the time machine I reckon :w00t:

what.......you mean you are not :P

Just make sure it's a nissan time machine.

that'll need a rebuild :P

So - 2nd Yr Radiaton Science completed.

Yay!

Just a few weeks of clinical placement, then some time off.

Seems just the other day that I woke up one morning on rock bottom (when I probably shouldnt have continued breathing), decided to change for the better & went cold turhkey off the Duragesic - a hard core opiate med, got into a course with a 99 TER a couple of months later, and now half way there to a satisfying career.

Should have bought bitcoins tho :/

Interalloy @ Cavan. We use them for all our round bar in our machine shop. Im assuming it's for adj. arms of some description?

I find that whole Silk Road thing so interesting. I wonder if another one has opened?

Congrats Brendan - you must be loving life!

There must be literally tens of thousands of instant millionaires this week.

Still going to probably head out for a boot if anyone else is out tonight...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
