and ryan i love ur set up :thanks: did u fix the temp sensor thing i told u about months back>

Not yet, I have been directed to see a well renowned retired auto electrician here on the gold coast to do some other work for me too, just need to get him away from his BiNgO ><

I'm in no hurry, she sits in the garage and doesn't get out much, driven her 3 or 4 times since i last spoke to guys. I'm busy doing the reno's to my house.

if youre going to get an aftermarket radiator, probably worth investing in an aftermarket temp gauge too so you cna actually see the temperature of your cooling system, rather then the arbitrary gauge that nissan provided us with that is good for nothing...

PFC works well too if u got one.

Read the first part of this topic....but then got a little bored of the he said, she said, some alien said.

Repairing a STD radiator is expensive and usually a temporary fix.

Replace the STD one with an aftermarket alternative, reuse the clutch fan and shroud.

I have a spare 35mm ARC one for a GTR, for anyone who has drama's with their STD one and wanting an alloy one.

Direct replacement...std shroud and fan fit.

ARC....make the best cores, bar none. $600 no offers.

I have noticed the temp gauge starts to move from the middle position at around 103.

I am going to go with a 40mm tripe core alloy radiator and keep original fan and shroud. hope to have it by next weekend as I am sick of doing 80km/h on the highway to keep it under 95 degrees.

hopefully it is the lost pressure from the crack in the top tank causing the extra heat, and not the engine running lean. a tune isnt too far away, so i guess i'll find out soon.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
