Larger Radiator For Gtr

[t01-100]

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.

Does that have a polished top tank?

Only asked, becuase I'm trying to keep it looking OEM.

just buy a 57mm PWR radiator for around $900 and dont mess about with other types....

[Duncan]

umm a very OEM looking one is the one out of the vh41 Laurel fits in the same space, black, but tripple core

I agree. . . . For the price, they can't be beaten, and you know they have been proven.

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

Stu,

Just get Chris Tanner to make you one.

You can then build it as big as you like to fit what room you have. He has done two for my clubmans and does a very neat job.

"Ultra cooling"

Why would you need a larger radiator?

[mazgtr]

Just on this, would one of the metal sheets/shrouds you can buy from places like Unique to help force air thru the radiator be a cheaper option for improved cooling?

i was told no need for a uber large one either

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

Hey Jason,was your PWR 57mm a straight fit or did you have clearance issues in your 33.

[pnblight]

greddy 48mm $821.94 landed an awesome radiator more suited to street use the 57mm is purpose built for racing they dont recomend for street use but pwr do a 40mm unit as well.

Where from?????

[t01-100]

Thanks for everyones thoughts.

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

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.

air flow becomes a problem
