Hey guys, just a quick heads up, RB26 radiators are an instant installation into s13s running CAs.
Finally after 3 months of procrastantion got her in, and works pretty good. Average temps have dropped by 3 degrees for cruising, and 5 degrees on constant caining attack ( full throttle to normal people).
It does sit up a little bit higher, i cut the bottom rubber supports in case, but didn't help that much, but was still a good investment IMHO since it was given to me by a mate when he upgraded the one in his 32 gtr.
Heres some photos of the size difference ( is just about twice as thick as the stocko rocko, and bigger in overall measurements.)
how much the stock brackets had to be spaced.
and with the CA radiator shroud on top, and mounted in the engine bay, top view.

Yup i see where your coming from on that.
wonder how much difference there is in the aftermarkets between the ca and 26's as well, i've looked at his Greddy ally quite a few times, as it's sitting out of his car atm

Actually, mate just took out of hisfloat_6969 wrote:Too bad we can't just go down to the junkyard and find a GTR radiator. Man this country sucks sometimes...
Just6 got back from the track, did some top of 3rd gear sliding, and it didn't go anywhere near 90 degrees C, so i am extremely happy with it's performance...

Re: (biosehnsucht)
Yeah, the only KA i have seen over here was in a 80s model skyline, the ugly gazelle looking door stopper wedge shaped things..biosehnsucht wrote:How thick is it? Just for plastic endtanks vs all Aluminum alone I'd take my Koyo 53mm KA radiator (which works just dandy with the CA) over this one..
granted I suppose you don't get much KA parts over there
i'll measure it up tomorrow, it's a bit cold and wet to go outside now, and i'm afraid of the bogey man.
