    ok now finally the problem is solved!!

    the radiator was f*kd, it had a hole in the bastard which wasn't visible until you took it out (not to mention it wasn't using coolant!)... $380 later I got a new Koyo copper core radiator and now the thing doesn't budge over 83 degrees...

    thanks again for everyones help... i should have checked that damn thing out to begin with!!

    Cheers!

    yea very good point... i just did the flush on the cars system, couldn't get that f*kn bolt off on the side of the block tho so i just kept running some water through it, took it for a drive and then emptied it out until it came out pretty clean...

    topped it up with nulon coolant and seems to be still creeping up around the 92ish mark even in this fresh wind we're getting in melbourne..

    i think no flush that i do can get the crap out of the radiator if thats whats happening... looks like thats the next step for me, the blokes at the radiator joiint reakon $80 to get it tested and cleaned out which isn't too bad considering i've already spent $200 just today on sorting this sh!t out (to no avail)

    even tho i've had my car for over 3 years and gone through heaps of crap with it i'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to the cooling system god dammit!

    hello all... i've changed my clutch fan with another one from the wreckers and it seems to make a small difference (didn't cut the fan blades this time either) although still getting to the 95-96 degree mark in this shitty melbourne weather...

    i'm about to do a cooling system flush and i hope that hits the nail on the head... if that doesn't work i think next step will be the thermostat but for the sake of my pocket i hope this fixes the problem lol

    i will keep you all posted and thanks again for your help!

    thanks again mate

    yea the water pump was recently replaced and the belts were done at the same time... i'm thinking more and more about not enough air not flowing through due to obstructions and considering my low mount GT 25/40 getting really hot that might have a lot to do with it also... i had a look and i have no idea what i can do to make sure enough gets through?

    would a heat sheid on the turbo be any good? at the moment there isn't one on there but i'm just wondering if its going to help...

    i ran it today in the 30 degree heat with the air con on and it didn't seem to go much more than around 96deg whilst driving according to the power fc.. but never has it hit near the H on the standard temp guage, just a touch above half..

    I just noticed the car was on 92 degrees (power fc temp) and when i jumped out the car turned off and span a bit after ignition was cut... wasn't an immediate stop or anything and it turns without much force needed either...

    If it was the airflow (because of the fmic) everyone would have the same problem wouldn't they? well everyone with a similar setup anyway...

    So you reakon I should just take the radiator to a place to get it checked before i do anything else?

    anyone know any places to take it in melb western suburbs thats reputable? should i just take it off myself and take it to the place or take the whole car there?

    thanks again for the input!

    Terry is right, it will only get hot wen stopped. the viscus set up in the fan i have seen lock so it is always noisy and very hard to turn when off.

    if you have a big fmic like me they restrict large amounts of air flow over rad or thurmostat stuck probs worth changing only cheap. could also be blocked rad like the others said.

    mine does the same thing only on over 40deg days so going to put a 3core rad in when i get some cash.

    let us know how you go.

    yea i see what your saying, i do have a large fmic and air flow is being blocked and it doesn't really lock up or anything when its pretty hot its easy to turn but not free spinning or anything... i'll flush out the radiator and give that a try first which i think might not really help lol but i think it might actually be the clutch fan playing up...

    it spins only a little after the car turns off not immediatly, i checked today when the power fc showed around 90 degrees so maybe its that ey..

    Thanks heaps for your input guys!!

    I'll try a few of those things on the weekend hopefully its not too hot but at the moment its that hot in melb you can't even scratch your ass without breaking a sweat... dammit!

    I was thinking maybe i'll take the radiator out and get it checked but there isn't any leaks the coolant level hasn't dropped and the thermostat is opening... i'll let everyone know how i go!

    Thanks again!

    Hi Guys,

    I've searched on here for some answers to my problem with my R33 S2 Manual RB25DET.

    My water temp gets to around the 95-97 degree mark normal driving (even highway) and with air con on it comes up to around 107+ degrees...

    I'm wondering why it might be doing this, On the dyno on a 25 degree day, the tuner at chasers noticed the temp creeping to around 95 degrees so he stopped and checked why not enough air flow was getting to the radiator.. and he mentioned that my clutch fan might be not engaging correctly..

    During the colder months of the year my temp shows aorund 80-85 on the Power FC but this is starting to worry me and being lazy I havn't done much about it...

    Any help or input would be great before I start spending money on things that don't even help... (which has been done many times before)

    Also I'm wondering if anyone knows how to check for a fault clutch fan because i'm planning on doing that next to see if it makes a difference...

    I noticed after the turbo was installed the engine bay was getting noticeably hotter but I figured being the size it is that would be normal...

    Thanks in advance!!

    George.
