PWR if you're rich, superb coolers OR Koyo, just works.

I would avoid that brand that's big in America and looks like rebranded eBay radiators with flashy marketing.

who might that be??

55mm Crossflow is what I got went from 42mm (i think) typical koyo

koyo was fine but started to struggle on my setup as I pushed it harder - above cooler change has done the job well since no probs

I've got a cross flow in mine from Race Radiators, it's a twin pass 55mm core. It was a fair bit more than a PWR but has a swirl pot and a few other things I wanted which you can't get off the shelf.

He's the Victorian agent for PWR and does their warranty stuff, he doesn't use their cores.

No idea if lever is better or worse, I've only every used the push down screw cap ones.

I run 1.3 bar cap on the race car and have got >130o coolant without blowing anything, not really recommended as best practice. Of course if you go higher pressure cap it is worth changing all water hoses to silicone and good hose clamps instead of the factory clips

(personal opinion) I prefer to run a 1.0 to 1.1 bar radiator cap, FWIW with my 1st motor (stock), I had a 1.1bar radiator cap using an off the shelf 42mm PWR radiator and the car was thrashed and cooled down for a good 10 laps on a near 40 degree day at Wakefield Park.

Water temp never went past 120 C (from memory) and no coolant was gurgling, albeit it did have a 25 row Setrab oil cooler. I even used the A/C on cool down laps lol.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
