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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
