How good are the cheap Aluminium Radiators??

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 06:27:12 +0000

Im looking at getting a 52mm Aluminium Radiator, one of those so called chinese versions. They are only around $200-$300 and I want to know how much of an improvement they are over standard ones or is it worth spending around a grand on a Trust, PWR or Koyo?

I use the car for a few track days a year. If any one has had any experience please post it up.

Hey guys,

I own a 99 stagea and am having electrical issues and i hope somebody can help me out. When i drive along the electrics seem to kinda flicker (dashlights, headlights, cd player pretty much everything electrical.) Its been getting a bit worse lately. Its now happening every 10 seconds or so. Also when i stop the car, if i try start it straight away it struggles to turn over.

Any thoughts?

Thanx in advance.

mystery clutch problem

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 17:57:23 +0000

car has a heavy duty clutch, has been working fine when i first had it, although it was really "deep" had to have it literally to the floor to change gears without any crunches.

went for a slide, through 1 corner i handbraked and the car turned off mid-drift, clutch out turned back on. after that i had no clutch at all. clutch in, it wouldn't go into gear at all.

decided to drive to the nearest petrol station to bleed the clutch, how did i drive it there? engine off and shifted into first turned the car on and took off in first and engine and rev gearbox match shit woteva you want to call it to change gears.....got there bleed it from the slave and the "box" as i call it and still the same thing. clutch in and it wont go into gear...

it was working absolutely fine until i did that 1 slide,

so now what can the problem be? blocked lines? slave or master is knackered?

one of my mates said maybe the pin inside the cabin or a nut has gone loose or where the slave is 1 of the nuts or something is maxed out...im not exactly sure what but i will be having another look at it on monday. just wanted ideas of what to look for or wot the problem can be.

also i took it to a mechanic and he jst sed the clutch is rooted... but mehh i dont know

cheers guys

edit:

played around with it more today.....when sitting inside the car and pumping the clutch with the car on you can kind of hear some noise....the noise is hard to describe but its like when your bleeding the brakes/clutch noise KIND OF not exactly sure how to describe it

and the feel is different....when you push down slowly or release slowly, you get this "step" feel when i say step its like start go start go kind of feel to it. will have the the car on stands 2moro didnt get enough time to get that far

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:05:26 +0000

ok so my sr20de is popping from the intake side
also i got massive jerking happening in the cold
took it for a tune up they sed compression is good also timing is right but i dont belive them haha
ive read up for the jerking might be fuel pump so ordered that already see how that goes but the poping is new and it getting more often when cold

does the ecu matter i think my engine is from 180sx type s and the computer is a s13 so the dizzy is diffrent on them might that have somthing to do with it

SR20DEV (supercharged)

Sun, 06 Jun 2010 17:06:52 +0000

ok, recently been doing a bit of research on supercharged sr20's and just wondered what ppl thought.

If i do take this route it will be a high CR build so large amounts of boost isn't required.

I also have a rebuild kit sitting in the garage for a DE and a Z32 AFM somewhere

Summed up....
SC is cheaper than turbo'ing
SC is different
It isnt anything hard to set up
BzzzZzZZZzzzZzzzzzzzzz!!!!!
Toyota SC14 super charger
The boost amount is built off pully ratio's
Electronic clutch so if i want to turn it off easy done
Aircon will most likely go Bye Bye (unless there's a cheapish way to avoid swapping it out)

just wondering what other ppls think,

Any idea's/thoughts, throw them in!

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:36:46 +0000

Morning Everyone!

Im getting a set of Coby Extractors installed on my R34 next week and am curious if anyone couuld help me out in regards to what power figures i should expect.

What i already have installed:

Blitz High Flow Panel Filter

So with that said, the extractors are the final peice of the jigsaw, so to speak.

So if anyone knows what increases i could get, that would be great!

Skyline Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor

Hey all,

Does anywhere know where I can get a new one of these, I've tried SAU but am getting no responses. I swapped out my Cat the other day and the current sensor is working but the nut and sensor have fused together which makes it a pain in the ass to install.

Would and exhaust shop stock these? I have nfi
