My ceffy just copped a bit of a front ender, no bent panels just a broken front bar and a radiator that has some serious leakage, It wasn't actually hit and I can't see that anything pierced it - but it no longer holds water and the leak is somewhere in the bottom tank, I fill it in the bath and put some pressure on it and water just fills up flows out of the bottom tank...

First question Is my front bar Autek? If so anyone know a good place to get another one?

Thirdly, I have attached a pic of my radiator top is this a stock ceffie radiator or is it somthing else, I have an RB25 in my cef but I don't think their radiators fit so Im guessing it is a stock one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Bad luck about the front ender.

How is your intercooler?

Not sure about your raidator, could be stock, was your car a factory turbo? looks alot thicker than my ceffy's rad, my car was originally a non turbo though and i dont think the radiator has been changed :D

sorry to spam your thread but if yours is a Autech kit what is mine, i always though mine was a autech too?

My cooler took a knock and there is a crack in the end tank - but I have fibreglassed it up for the time being - Its watertight so thats a start.

My car was a RB20DE n/a - I know I have never had over heating issues, even after 10 laps of solid drifting the hottest it ever got was 95 -although the turbo and turbo manifold were well glowing.

sky80: Youve got a plethora of spares, :D I'll see how I go locally for the rad - if I can't find one this morning I'll give you a call and trek down, Thanks!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
