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.

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
