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

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
