What temps have people had their M35s up to?

Little worried last night's overheating might have caused problems. It seems fine, and I understand M35s run warmer anyway, just like to put my mind at ease.

I have seen 125 degrees with an airlock in the system, and 116 on the straight at PI. Hopefully no bubbles in your radiator or overflowing coolant reservoir and you should be fine. That said, I am rebuilding another VQ25det atm due to a blown headgasket from overheating...

I finally got the 350 x 400 x 50mm trans cooler in tonight, that should take care of the gearbox temps. I still have to install the fan controller, there is a 9 inch Spal fan on the trans cooler and a 14 inch on the engine oil cooler. Both fans should turn on at a preset temp once I wire it up. Not much room left in front of the radiator now... :)

Very reassuring guys, thanks. Sooner I can get the Mishi in the better!

Funny thing about the coolant reservoir. Not sure I've ever seen the level change. Not sure if that is good or bad. Been the same level since I got the car 18 months or so ago.

It was pitch black and beginning to rain, with lightning on the way. I was glad to have it finished before the storm hits. Shame there is no room for the hoist in the shed. :(

The trans had the thermostat inline and also ran through the radiator so there was no problem getting it up to temp quickly. I had issues keeping the temps under control though. The fluid comes straight out of the torque converter into the cooler lines, mine was seeing stupid temps as around 30kw is lost as heat in the converter at full noise, quite often enough to boil the coolant in the radiator.

I have removed the radiator fittings and thermostat from the lines so there will definitely be issues getting the temp up now. Hopefully it will still warm enough to drop into 5th fairly quickly, if not I will re-fit the thermostat.

It will definitely rise once you double the amount of coolant in the system. What pressure cap are you running?

The Nismo cap. 1.3... Bar?

Car has never been overheated though, and I've never done anything to the cooling system... Until the cooling mod.

It must have had a large airlock in the system, you need to recheck the coolant when cold for the next few mornings any time you dump it and refill.

I took 2 pics for you guys, the fittings on both coolers are touching the plastic undertray so run the full height of the radiator. Hopefully the Mishimoto will still do its job. This is all possible due to the intercooler being cut down and moved forward, bolted under the intrusion bar.

I also got around to fitting the fan controller for both thermos and for displaying trans/oil temps. Kewish have asked me to modify a few of the signals going back to the TCU, including both temp signals and the main line pressure solenoid. Should be interesting to see what I can do manually with regards to line pressure, and the best part is, no more limp mode if the fluid gets too hot at the track. :)

I need to paint the control panel stealth black yet, if I cbf...

No Navi in the base model... ftw... :)

I can now run full line pressure, (farkin hard shifts), or factory adjustable line pressure with variable adjustment using the TFT temp knobs. Seems to work well on around 60 degrees from my quick play today. It's off to Kewish next Wednesday for pressure readings, I think they will be impressed with the mods. :)

So can i get one thing straight , these air bag like fault/issue lights come on basically due to 'cheap' wiring of sorts ? Or were they connected incorrectly , like the example with the person saying that their battery was going flat and then the airbag light comes on ? :S

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
