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)

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
