nismo themostate is the best!!! and good price

150 bucks is far to dear for a 62 deg thermostate just cause its got a nismo sticker on im not paying for wank value .

im sure there are other 62 deg thermo made by other companys that will work exactley the same . i dont see nismo thermostates stuck in every nissan ever made. i will go thru the catalogs from our suppliers when im at the workshop next

Why do you want a 62 degree thermostat? That's too low a temperature for maximum power or minimum engine wear or maximum fuel economy.

Cheers

cheers for that gary

i thought if i got one that opened a bit earlier it might help with my cars prob of running to hot in hilly areas on 40 deg plus days . how ever i just pulled my old one out and stuck it in a saucepan on the stove it did fully open but the water was almost boiling b4 it started to move at all .

so i suspect the one thats in there is not playing the game right atm it is a standed nissan one 76.5 so i think i will replace it with the same type as the one i just pulled out

thanks for your advice

cheers dean

gary, what is the best temp? I am getting a constant 91 deg, doesn't matter how cold it is outside... and on hot days it goes up to ~95-98... I am used to my other car running at ~80deg, what is optimum for the stag?

Ours usually runs mid 80's normal driving and high 80's when pushed. Time for a radiator flush perhaps? Or maybe a debug, ours was a bit clogged with dead insects last summer.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
