Hi guys,

I recently got my r34 tuned. While in the dyno the car was over heating and my tuner told me that there is lot of rust in the radiator and I will need a replacement. I was looking at some of the radiator in ebay and couldn't find any direct fit radiators for the car.

My question,

Is there any direct fit alloy radiators for r34 or will I need some modification to the standard fan shroud ? Or is it cheap to buy alloy radiator with fan and the shroud ?

Car:- R34 GTT manual 1998

I'm new to SAU.. So any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Sam.

Thanks for the reply Benc34 and wolverine. If the trimming is minor it should be all right. Just to clear things out.. when im purchasing a new alloy radiator it should be 42mm ?

Thanks. Sam

On the stock setup will an upgraded radiator help with oil temps at all? I find my oil temps getting to 120 deg c in summer on 40 deg days just cruising around with the stock radiator.

Nope.

Get an oil cooler with a built in thermostat.

Thanks for the replies guys.. I was looking at ebay and found this cheap alloy radiator.

any comments on this ?

Thanks.

Any reasonably priced suggestions? I was just surprised that on a stock setup it would get that hot..

Well you can buy Japanese brand named stuff for up to $1000 or you can just get a sandwich plate with built in thermostat for about $100 some rubber hose (yes it works fine) and a small oil cooler radiator (spend the money on a good one). I'm in NZ so can't point you to the shops.

(Like this - not sure if this exact one will fit your car but I have a Mocal one for my RB)

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
