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.

I didnt notice a "great" difference in weight at all to be honest.

My one (as stated earlier) is quite light indeed.

Also, depends on your mannerism, i always warm the car up for a good 4-5 mins before going anywhere. So that can be a mute disadvantage depending on the person

air flow becomes a problem

that's the primary problem... plus oil coolers, intercoolers etc etc hanging out the front of the car.

Off topic, but I really want to run an oil cooler to the rear, in front of the diff, but worried about pressure drop back there

i have a PWR one in my GTSt, does a great job, i was thinking maybe go a jap one in the GTR as i thought it might be better than a pwr? Can anyone tell me what makes the PWR ones special? i was told by an ARE guy that theirs are better (biased obviously) and that they use a dual pass horizontal flow setup, and vastly improves cooling. Apparently the pwr ones run hot on one side, whilst the other side is cooled more. Can anyone elaborate on this?

bah, its all crap IMO RE: PWR (or race radiators)

People say that cause they are cheaper. One thing, they can be cheap and still be great, as i said, $660... bolt in... even cheaper than the $800 and will do as good of a job.

the horizontal pass radiators are better at cooling due to them forcing the water through to get cooled twice.. goes in the top runs right accross the radiator then falls down then runs back accross the radiator to the water pump pickup...

sad attempt of a diagram of the twin pass radiators attached ..

horizontal flow radiators do cool better.. but really when you think of it.. i'd rather keep the factory one for street use.. most of the cores in all the alloy radiators tend to be the same design with the tubes as each other.. (i work in radiator shop sadly(might not be for much longer(shitwork))) so yer if your having over heating problems think about it it might not be your radiator.. could be your thermostat or clutch fan

if your after bling and do some track work than yer go ahead get an thick alloy one for general street use a standard one is more than ample except for when you've got one hell of a thick intercooler sittin in front which the air is struggling to flow thru that let alone your condensor than radiator

Sorry for bringing up an old topic,

I basically pull my radiator out and have it service every start of summer, i'm about to drop mine off for a Radiator place to have it clean.

Today i stumbled accross Jus Jap site and saw their Alloy Radiator for R32gtr with Shrould still in place and only cost $399. I was thinking if i should spend $100 to get my stock radiator service or spend that extra $300 and get a fully sick Alloy one?

Has anyone ever use JusJap one? What's your feed back?

(Note, my stock radiator perform WELL, constant 80degree, raise around 7,8 degrees only because i was stuck in traffic for over 10 mins on a 40+ degree Melb summer)

Is that the cooling pro ones?

I got one of them last year with the top and bottom hoses to match. No probs with old radiator but for track and drag i will help in the long run.

Thickness of top tank is 40mm, radiator width is a little less if I remember correctly. Shroud did not fit back onto mine :pirate:

Yes that was it.

So shroud could not come back? They claim that it can retain the shroud.

Also did you notice any different in temputure wise?

Cheers

Just got my CoolingPro from justjap installed, $400. Very hot, very humid day today on the gc, let it idle for 30 mins and didn't get over 86C, then immediately thrashed it and the temp didn't budge, drove it home this arvo, still quite hot and it sat on 80C even after i went up a long hill in 5th winding up to 11psi for 10 secs (2500-3500rpm). Oh, and this is all without the shroud for now (need a 33 one). Can't see any reason why it won't fit although the fan is fairly close. But then again I have a 33 one modified to fit in my HR31 with custom brackets... so it's not exactly your regular application.

Comparing to a PWR, the core looks exactly the same, it doesn't seem to be baffled, but for the performance i'm getting so far on the hottest day this summer, the price is right. :( I know mid 80C doesn't sound great, but you obviously don't want your car running cold, and the thermo only starts to open at 78, so really it's about stability. Idealy you want something that stays below 90C under any conditions. It's looking like I just got that for $400.

With the radiator I added a Nismo 62 degree thermostat and radiator cap as well. Temps are never above nominal half way point on the guage.

The end parts of my shroud would bend and then the screw holes would not match up so I left if off.

The top hose from JJR was also a bit too long so I had to cut about an inch off to get it to fit.

Maybe you should leave the shroud on so air can concentrate into the block instead of divert out everywhere!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
