  1. ill give you $250 for the radiator if you in a hurry to dump it. just can't justify any more seeing as though i can get china ones for 200 sure they are shit but hey it will suit my purpose.
  2. what are they charging these days?
  3. so i did the thermo today, old one looked okay so i put them both in boiling water couldn't get the them to open... must not have been hot enough but i put the new one in anyway, ill test it tomorrow when the gasket goo dries.. does anyone know an easy way to change this hose its the small black one thats circled, it looks like im gonna have to pull the plenum off....
  4. yeh when i bought it there was fark all coolant in it, mostly water... the radiator pipes are full of rusty shit, im gonna do the thermostat tomorrow and if its still no good ill get the rad looked at and if that doesn't work ill do the water pump and may as well do timing belt to.....
  5. lol i thought maybe you had it painted...
  6. plugs are good maybe 4000ks old still should be fine they are the correct heat range. oil lvl is fine but does need to be changed which will be done this weekend. radiator lvl is fine and i have replaced the cap. not sure about oil pressure, don't have a gauge. doubt it would be a headgasket, coolant seems fine, but ill check the oil for water when i change it this weekend. could be the water pump but when i have the cap off and give it a rev you can see the water moving, and it looks like its moving alot faster than my mates rb20 whos water pump is only 30000ks old.... i reckon ill have to swap the radiator and thermostat and go from there, dont really want to do the water pump looks like a big job. what do people think of those cheap china radiators, ISC sells them for $299 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Is...rs-t216102.html i figure its going to cost close to $200 to get mine flushed and tanks replaced so may as well go new?
  7. what do you do with the car? is the current box broken?
  8. hey guys, got a little problem with my rb20 its getting a little bit hot. idles around 78-82 which is okay but when i hold the the revs for a while the temps skyrockets... i can be on the freeway doin 80ks and the temp will be 95c on a 15 degree day! but as soon as i take my foot of the throttle and let it coast it drops down to 80ish. the coolant was flushed 20000ks ago so should be fine i did a little poking around the engine bay and found that the turbo water line thats behind the block was farked, i changed it but still no change. im planning on changing the radiator pipes and doing a flush but i honestly doubt it will do anything... im pretty confident its been bleed properly but its hard to be sure! im getting the temp readings from a nissan consult thing so i suppose its possible the sensor is farked but i doubt it... thinking about the thermostat but it seems to be opening ok when it gets up to temp. just really want to get this fixed before summer!!! any ideas?
  9. i have, just put a longer hose on the bottom and moved it higher up the strut tower.
  10. so the only dump pipe that will fit is a hks one that was supplied, or will a stock dump from another car bolt up? would be hard to make up a new dump without a flange wouldn't it?
  11. i saw a marked Suzuki swift in dandenong a few weeks ago...
  12. this is interesting, they told me they prefer to use the superpro bushes over the whiteline because they are easier too install and adjust...... i got them put in 12 months ago they squeaked for the first 2 months or so but i haven't had a squeak since. go figure....
  13. will the radiator fit a GTST?
  14. ur missing the comp readings for 2 cylinders....
  15. yeh when i went in there i was planning on going whiteline but the guy i talked to said that they prefer to use super pro and they were cheaper so i got them. this leads me to believe that they have done a few in the past...
  16. is this traction tyres? i had some superpro front camber bushes put in by them, they were really squeaky for the first 1000ks or so, didn't know how i was going to live with them but now they are fine, no noise at all!
  17. what ever you do don't borrow money to buy an import.... if you can't afford to buy it with cash then you can't afford it. seen it too many times, mates take out loans to buy imports the car breaks or they lose their job and are forced to sell , or leave it in the shed for 6months....
  18. ill take the radiator if you still have it!
  19. bargain at 6k with RWC!!!
  20. bargain! these things go forever i'd take it if you were in VIC
