Hey all.

i just had my 32 gts-t off the road for 3 weeks,

it developed an overheating problem when cruising in 5th gear down the freeway, or after what one would call 'negligent street driving'

so i rebuilt the top end, timing belt, seals, gaskets valves, u name it, top end = new.

its still overheating!! WTF!!

thermostat is also new so scratch that idea.

Any ideas will be investigated, and much appreciated!!

Thanks so much, Damo

Check your water pump, check and change coolant and i would suggest check your engine oil open the engine oil lid if it looks like murky water has contaminated. Which in this case it may be your gasket, i donno might not be installed properly. Take it to your local workshop to get it checked out

      Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢
