Inark,

If it's just the fins that are dented then it shouldn't be a problem. Just grab yourself some long nose pliers and straighten them out as much as you can, to allow the air to flow through.

If you don't put mesh infront of the cooler when you fit it you will get that happening all the time from rocks and other crap on the road.

Cheers

Compared to that, mine is an absolute mess but still holds pressure no problems...

Had coloured smoke pumped through it and none came out so it;s all good. The fins are made of super soft metal that oftens snaps off when straightening so b careful. I broke heaps of mine but it still works so don't stress too much.

your local radiator place can pressure test it for you.

nice carpet.:P

lmao... thats one of the couches in the kitchen :D

oh well thats ok then... i'll get it tested this week then... time to get some piping made up :)

Morgs -

the cooler itself cost me $70AUD but the postage cost 32000yen which is a bit of a killer... Mark had it in his garage for 6 months for me til i could pay for the shipping but had to clear some room so sent it anyway. Hes a good bloke to deal with. He sent it on the 25th and it got here today, the 30th

Yes all R32/33 GTR coolers are painted black stock. The 34's are polished however so are silver. Yes the front has been cleaned on that one. The black doesn't affect the cooling.

Light damage on the cooler doesn't matter as long as most of it is in tact. The fins aren't as improtant as the tubes so make sure the tubes have no punctures. Mine is similar but has a few squashed fins.... will be u for sale soon if anyone is itnereted.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
