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)

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
