CSF Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) 1999-2002 High-Performance Radiator

The Nissan Skyline is probably one of the most famous JDM vehicles in the world, and in the US, the GT-R remains one of the most popular JDM imports regardless of generation. The RB-series engines, including the iconic RB26 in the GT-R, are known for their durability and power potential, but as horsepower increases, so does heat generation, making an upgraded radiator a genuine consideration for maintaining reliable performance. While the factory cooling system is sufficient for stock applications, high-performance builds demand superior heat dissipation to prevent overheating and protect engine longevity.

Following the notable success of CSF's collaborative billet radiators for the R32 and R33 Skyline models, this standard all-aluminium version was developed in direct response to customer demand for a non-billet alternative. The 2-row, 42mm core uses CSF's exclusive B-Tube technology, a specially engineered "B"-shaped tube carefully formed and brazed over the seam, increasing heat transfer surface area by approximately 15% over regular tubes. Ultra-efficient, multi-louvered fins maximise airflow through the core, and every unit includes a 1.4 bar high-pressure cap embossed with the CSF logo, raising the coolant's boiling point for an added layer of protection. All mounting brackets are CNC machined and welded to OEM specifications for a true drop-in fit requiring no modifications to install.

Important fitment note: this radiator is based on the early-model GT-R "slim tank" design. It fits both early and late model R34 GT-Rs, but late model GT-Rs require different fan shroud mounting hardware than what's supplied as standard, securing the fan to the sides of the radiator rather than the top and bottom tanks. Confirm you have the correct hardware before ordering if fitting to a late model car.

Why Choose This Radiator

• CSF's exclusive B-Tube core technology, approximately 15% more heat transfer than regular tubes
• Includes a 1.4 bar high-pressure cap, raising the coolant boiling point for extra protection
• CNC-machined, welded OE-specification brackets for precise fitment
• True drop-in fit, no modifications required to install
• Fits both early and late model R34 GT-Rs (with different fan shroud hardware for late models)
• Available in raw aluminium, polished, or satin black finish

Compatibility

• Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R (1999-2002, RB26, incl. Nismo, V-Spec, M-Spec)
• Nissan R34 Skyline GT/25GT/25GT-V/25GT FOUR/25GT Turbo (1999-2002)
• Nissan R34 Skyline 25GT-X/25GT-X FOUR/25GT-X Turbo (1999-2002)

Does NOT fit: Non-GT-R models. R34 GTT (manual transmission) models should use the R33 radiator instead (CSF #7230, #7230B, #7219, or #7219B).
