r32 gtr radiator is still single row also not much thicker, flows a little better apparently (than gts).

r33 radiators (both) are a bit taller not sure if they will fit, they wouldnt fit in my 180 but r32 gtr one did (also r32 gts fits)

i reckon forget all these as they are not much of an upgrade anyway, maybe get an aftermarket one - you definately need a new radiator?

erm... 115 degrees!

Wow better check it out, i did 4 laps at Phillip Island and a break then 4 laps after that and it only gets to 84.

Don't know if you have an oil cooler or not but a while ago my Gtr heat up a bit me and Troy ( YLWGTR ) went through so much trouble finding out why at the end i take the radiator out sent it to Highway radiator to pull the top tank out, they found out i have up to 75% blockage. Only stupid thing that they did were when i got my radiator back they sprayed it all Black.

Get it check out Marcus.

It is one complete attached core but contains 2 rows.

 

Have a good look, either that or you've been ripped. :)

not sure of exact terminology in terms of row or core, however I know when you take the cap off the radiators and look in there, on both items there is one thick tube and i would expect it to be the same all the way to the bottom of the radiators. The r33 one is stock in a r33 for sure and 99% sure the other is gtr, but hey maybe there isnt any or much diff between r32 gts/gtr ones.

ofcourse they are one overall core unit but how are they 2 row??

Thanks for the warning, I know it's not good. I've got an oil cooler as well, and on the street the water temp never gets higher than 90.

Also note that Sunday was 30+ degrees at Sandown, and also PI affords much more cooling air to the radiator as it is faster :)

Will invest in a 40mm one when the funds allow!

Oh...  

 

Would have looked scary on the stock guage. :)

Stock gauges are crap! didn't actually move much past middle :confused:

I've got a Defi water temp gauge and it was beeping and flashing it's little brains out (and the temps matched the PFC temps)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
