Hi,

My radiator is damaged, it's a 99 r34 gtr vspec. I'm looking to purchase a KOYO radiator. Which one should I buy? And why? They are around the same price.

I don't mind spending a bit of coin on a quality product... I have seen many GTRs with cheap ebay china stuff... don't like it.

Haven't checked the cooling pro one. But not the correct radiator:

Nissan Skyline R33 GTS/GTS-T (RB25de/RB25det)
- Nissan Skyline R33 GTR (RB26dett)
- Nissan Skyline R34 GT/GT-T (RB25de/RB25det Neo)
- Nissan Stagea WGNC34 (RB25DE/RB25det)
- Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech Version (RB26dett)

Back to the question: What's the difference between the two? Is it just old/new generation radiators? If so, which is newer?

Without seeing the actual photo of the product it'll be hard to tell.

I sell two types for the 34GTR.

Comes down to personal preference really. I served a bloke earlier and he only wanted the Blitz radiator if it had "Blitz" sprayed on the front...

Only if a street car with mild track work.. if you're starting to do 10 laps flat out then you'll find those cheaper alternatives don't hold up well.

Not my experience, I run a cooling pro in the race car and have done up to an hour's race without running hot.

well I am making the assumption Cooling Pro is of the same quality as ASI.. I went from ASI/Worley to PWR and water temperatures were rock solid... although the Dim Sim spec radiator did it's job during cooler track days

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
