Hi all,

Am looking into upgrading the radiator to a 50mm Trust unit, however I currently run the original air snorkel intake.

Does anyone know if the original intake can be used with this radiator?

Also, will the original fan shroud work on the radiator?

Many thanks

Hey Guys,

Sorry to bring up an old topic, But how did you go with installing the trust radiator PSIKO? I just bought this radiator and was wondering how much mucking around it would take to fit the OEM fan shroud.

Thanks Jono

Hi Jono,

Unfortunately I never ended up putting the shroud back on as I managed to put a small crack in it when removing the original radiator :unsure:

However in saying that, without the shroud the temp gauge has never gone over it's mid-point; this includes the odd track day, as well as plenty of sitting at lights/in traffic over the last summer.

Cheers

Hey Psiko,

Thanks for your reply!

It's good to hear that the radiator is going strong.

I have read up that if you buy a series 2 fan shroud 21476-aa310 it should sit flush.

Thanks again

Jono

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
