Hi all,

Anyone using one of Greddys alloy radiators on an R33 GTR? I have seen a few people using them and I would like to know if the factory fan shroud will fit with these or if the shroud becomes a throw away item.

Cheers,

Nick

I havent seen one fitted Nick but if i was to fit one i would definantly fit the shroud on .

Blitz - I have one on my car, the radiator shroud could not go back on, the brackets that the shroud bolts onto are not there, so I'm assuming it may be too thick and it would get too close to the engine if u were to put it back on.

With that said, I've had it on the car for over a year now and it has never overheated, the car is driven on the street and on the track aswell, on the street it sits on 84 degrees when cruising....

Hope that helps...

P.S I have a pic if ur interested to see how it will sit in the engine bay....

Hey Nick,

The shroud won't fit with the Greddy rad.

Interesting, that leads me to wonder which if any of the Japanese made radiators will allow for the refitting of the shroud?

I have a feeling that ARC allows for this

84 is not bad, and i know your car is in a much higher state of tune than mine, but with the oil cooler and standard rad my water temp always sits on about 80 degrees. do you have a big thick front mount?

My oil cooler sits behind the bumper on the passenger side behind the indicator (R33 GTR), I've also got an N1 water pump if that makes any difference.... City driving and idling in traffic it sits on 84, on the highway it drops down a couple of degrees....

Hi Nick, i got a Greedy radiator in mine and got the big girl running on the wkd woohoo would you like to post a pic or two, mine bolted straight in shroud and all. Its truely a beautiful piece of gear.

i also got nismo low temp thermostat and 8.5 to 9litre oil capiacty without the oil cooler fitted yet and run temps in cool weather seem quiet low at moment but only dont like 40kms (68 to 72deg)

Jagr33 you got your new turbos in yet and if so how did they shape up.

yeah, i guess the n1 pump may make a little difference. damn they are a nice looking radiator :(

Hey Pete,

Yeah picked it up a week ago, new turbo setup is sweeeet!!! So much more response down low and midrange compared to T517Z's, but do lack the top end....

Sending you PM now....

BACK ON TOPIC!!! :D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
