Cars Running Temp

[_MRR33]

Hey,

Just wondering what temperature a R33 GTST's water and oil should run at?

Thanks.

[_MRR33]

Anyone?

[DECIM8]

Oil sits about 110degrees when ur ontrack

about 90 with decent airflow and casual/semi spirted driving on a 25 degree day.. obviously fuctuates during hotter temps.

Water I have no idea..

On the subject i think my r34 coolent/engine temp sensor is crap and the gauage is showing normal all the time when I suspect it is not this way.. Anyone know of a cheap measuring tool to monitor real temps?

[QWK32]

water is around 75 to 80deg

[madaz R33]

water is around 75 to 80deg

Best bet I think, would just be install a water guage, they're handy to have in the car anyhow.

my power fc tells me the water temp is usually 80

i also have electronic oil temp gauge, usually reads about 90

so pretty much confirming what these guys have said

[T04GTR]

yeah. no aircon crusing round. 80-85

aircon on. 85-95

oil temp cruising sits usualy 10-15deg hotter. on the track can get up to 150 if yoyr trying hard

thats really bad because oil breaks down at around the 130 degrees mark... This can cause catastrophic failure

[Green_s13]

water temps for me are 80 when driving round the street but will get up to 90 on track, however i do have a koyo rad in my car and this is on 30 degree days

[T04GTR]

yeah. so get an oil cooler lol

[Sheng]

yeah between 80-90 for water

oil is usually 10deg hotter as what dave said

As a comparison, RB25DET in my 180sx which still retains the air con condensor (no room for a clutch fan)

Water Assistance = Nismo thermostat, twin SPAL 12" Thermo's, Koyo 53mm Radiator, Pivot Fan controller

Oil Assistance = Greddy Oil Cooler.

Retain the lower splash/air diversion plastic shielding - it works.

Power FC water temp reading = 75 degrees

Pivot Fan Controller water temp reading = 78 degrees (seperate sensor is within 5cm's of the factory water temp sensor)

Defi Oil temp gauge shows 82 - 85 oil temp.

Also you're in Brisbane like me, so half of the figures from members on this board are significantly different to ours due to the cooler conditions on average.

mine sits around 80 for water 90 for oil daily driving and on the track i start to freak when my oil gets to 100 lol.

[boomtheroom]

does the aircon make that much difference to the water temp? like towing a trailer i suppose

[robots]

So 80-85 degrees water temp is normal operating engine tamp for RBs, right? I got electrical fans and 2 step switch. 1 step is at 84 degrees. I thought it was too low some how )) Maybe I would get a better mileage with higher water temp ?

My power fc is usually sitting on 80 for water temp, can range from 78 to 83 .... highest i've had was 87 at the track.
