In my case, it just makes the filler the high point in the system so i dont have to use the crappy factory bleed.

yea well i suppose it doesn't suit everyone's particular application, but all i was saying is that the build quality is awesome, i would rather pay $950 and know it was top quality than be a tightass and buy some imitation product from a sweatshop in china, and who really knows how long that radiator will last...

seriously the last thing i would wanna do is be punting my car around mac pass in the middle of the night and the radiator stuffs up....

I've also just upgraded my radiator to the same model dave has. I haven't had a shakedown run yet as i'm still recoving from a knee operation, but first impressions of it are very good.


Be happy to shake it down for you.

I have a dodgy looking Koyo here too but never seen it above 90. Even drifting it shot up to 90 and stayed there.

With some plates to force the air from the FMIC through the radiator it'll be unstoppable!!! POWAHR..


P.S. $950 for a radiator it better have come with 2 hoes and a bag of coke

what size are the standard r32 radiator, i heard these a a bit of a upgrade to a silvia. or it may be just better to get a aftermarket one straight up.

32 radiator is a 2 core 25mm.

My radiator was 490 delivered as i paid 130 in air freight to get it here.

Just jap (when they start selling them) should be a good 100 less than that as they buy in bulk and ship them over in a container.

I'm hunting around for a thicker radiator to suit S14.

Has anyone had experience with SABER radiators? They look to be the same as JJR and the like. All from the same generic chinese factory...

Mishimoto is another one I've seen.

The KOYO ones seem to be the pick I've read but I'm after more insight with people who have bought them.

Go Zombie thread!


the pick is ARC but you also pay dearly for those.

Koyo radiators are very good,and worth the price they go for.

Just jap radiators vary wildly,like most knock-off parts. some last a while and work ok,some fail as soon as they're installed and filled up.

I never bought anything from hybrid,so I won't be using them now - as saber either.

proper japanese stuff is so cheap nowadays there's no real reason to skimp a few bucks and take the knock-off option with something like this.

That was true up until about now. Getting stuff from Japan is roughly 40% dearer now than it was 2 months ago due to the horrible exchange rate

I have no qualms about the Japanese radiators. If it were up to me I would go for an ARC one.

BUT. I haven't got the cash to so I'm looking at other alternatives.

A few people have told me the JJR ones aren't so bad and keep temps stable.

I'm after the bang for buck radiator which will retain the factory shroud and fan.
