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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
