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?

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

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

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.

  • 4 weeks later...
  • 1 month later...
  • 2 weeks later...

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 ?

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
