MrFijiGold Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Matt (DekA) might see this thread and give a review as he uses the Mishimoto radiator on his R34 Gtt. I also bought a Mishimoto to use on my car but I sold the car before any modding took place. For r34 gtt's they are a direct fit and no cutting of the shroud is required.. Hope that helps.

DekA Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 As Raj said I have one in my GTT, haven't had any issues with it. I track my car frequently and will consistently do 5 or more fast laps in a session without a cooldown and have not had any oveeheating issues with coolant or oil (mishimoto oil cooler too). The radiator I have is the MMRAD-RHD-R33 which is their 33GTR unit and that was a direct fit with no modifications required.

MC-WOSHY Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 That's what I wanted to hear! Cheers man, I was leaning towards getting one but just wanted to hear about how they fit and performance wise etc! I will be getting the kit they have for my ECR33 and should bolt in all good! Thanks again As Raj said I have one in my GTT, haven't had any issues with it.

jay-rod Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Dont replace the std one until you have too, 290rwkw still std on mine and i dont baby it on the road or track... I disagree with this, unless you only street the car. Swapping the radiator is something you should do. The thickness of the stock radiator is appalling, and does a pretty bad job at cooling at extended wot throttle/turbo load. ( all depending on your ambient temperature of course) Going from a stock r34gtt radiatior (around 15mm) to 50 mm one was night and day. From ~2 laps full throttle at the track to ~4-5 laps full throttle.

iruvyouskyrine Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Standard R33 ones are quite a bit larger than standard R34 ones. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455688-mishimoto-radiator-reviews/#findComment-7516712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DekA Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I replaced mine after the stock one cracked at the track, was fine up until that point Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455688-mishimoto-radiator-reviews/#findComment-7516794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay-rod Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yours must of had issues, i can easily do 5+ track laps with stock one Nope, every r34 i have heard off has the same issues, the radiator is just that small and useless. If its a different size than the 33s then it might be ok... But i still would say change it, dont risk blowing a head gasket just because you dont want to change it.

75coupe Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 risk blowing a head gasket???? unless you actually watch your temp guage or have warnings set on guages... there are a heap of things you can upgrade before a working radiator Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455688-mishimoto-radiator-reviews/#findComment-7517137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay-rod Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) The temp rises Dramatically with the stock one on the track.Im only going by experience personally with 2 r34s.Unless your eyes are constantly on the temp gauge, or like you said have an alarm, then it can quite easily overheat.Its one of those things where you cant be to careful.But if you trust the stock r33 radiator...then go aheadI certainly wouldnt Edited April 16, 2015 by jay-rod Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455688-mishimoto-radiator-reviews/#findComment-7517215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Depends if the stock rad is new or old, they block up pretty bad sometimes. I use a Mishimoto in my Stagea, good radiators. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/455688-mishimoto-radiator-reviews/#findComment-7517458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
