Hey Roy, didn't you have issues with underbonnet temps at one stage? How did you sort them out?

Yeh water temps of 320 deg Cand 820deg C under bonnet temps can easily be fixed with a $19 fire extinguisher...cheaper then one of those fancy radiators...meh what a waste of money:rolleyes:

thanks ppls ill have to have a look

im hopin to start a group buy and get em cheaaaaaaap ronin

is 53mm to big for street use

as in is there anything wrong with getting too cool

becuase i notice on some nights (early morninish) my water temps are only just over 70degrees

All silly talk a side. Grab a tape measure. I think you will have troubel fittign such a thick radiator in the std position because of the power steering. Typically a 40mm seems to be an easier and equally effective fix ....and then there is always the $19 fire extinguisher:)

i will find out marcus. i think its bigger than that. But im not sure.

Its just hell bigger than the good ole 1987 Jap Spec one which is about as thick as a "toast-cut" piece of bread

Thanks mate, I spoke to him and he said that the 40mm is a bolt in solution with existing fan and shroud (for a 32 anyway) and the 57mm requires electric thermos and removal of shroud... didn't mention anything abour p/s pump...

I think Ben runs a 40mm in his 33R, so if it works for him in his 500kW beast a 40mm should be ok for my low power jobbie :D

raz0r$harP - I tihnk there is a group buy for PWR already - check FS group buy section :)

Ash - is yours a 40mm race radiators jobbie? I have to invest after my 3-laps-to-overheat at Sandown a couple of weeks ago :D

yea ive seen it bu the koyo ones are bigger and polished ant not too much more thats why i was asking

i want a twin core alu that way will never have to upgrade and hopefully shouldnt ever have any problems........ cough

The 40mm PWR is twin core and polish is cheap.:D

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
