I have an R32 GTR and would like to upgrade the radiator. Does the 33 or 34 GTRs or any other Nissan models run a larger core that would fit?

I Just bought a Greddy/Trust Alloy Radiator from www.Nengun.com for my R33 GTS-T. You might find something for your GTR at a very good price. There are some nice accessories for sale also (eg- Full alloy Radiator pipe etc...)

Cheers.

Race Raditors here in Melb do them... bit smaller than the PWR one by the looks of it.

$660 though, fair diffference pricewise. They might even have bigger ones!

Quite larger that stock (i forget mines size), and i cruise around with 70-72degree temps on a 20ambient day.

Yet to drive on warmer days at this stage.

Yours is a 40mm jobbie from Race Radiators, Ash.

I have the same.

A 57mm requires removal of the factory shroud and possibly clearance issues with power steering pump.

I spoke with the owner of Race Radiators - he said to go with the 40mm and keep the shroud, as the 57 may be an obstruction on the street witout the shroud.

also, if the 40mm is good enough for Ben from RacePace's 600rwkW GTR at the track then my piddly 250rwkW will do just fine.

$660 at race radiators :P

:P i was told no need for a uber large one either :P

keep the stocker shroud and all of that too... but they dont make those air dam/directioning things for mine, but not like i need it

Where from?????

nengun and i think greenline do similar price also

Thanks for everyones thoughts.

Anything has to be better than the standard standard 32mm unit!

the gtr r33 24mm

the gtr r34 18mm

Just a simple question, is there any disadvantage of having a larger radiator? eg as large as it would fit?

was sitting on the M4 in standstill traffic in the head and water temp was getting abit over the 90's and just got me thinking.

Disadvantages are threefold:

1. It's going to cost you more.

2. It is going to weigh more in the exact location that GT-R's don't need more weight.

3. It is going to take longer for the car to get up to working temperature - more engine wear.

Also, I understand that much above 40mm thick is difficult to install without moving shrouds etc. Just don;t quote me on that.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
