my setup needs some attention. I am running the stock mspec front bar and have not chopped out the reo bar because i like my car to be legal.

The oil cooler is mounted on the front of the air con condensor, so its heating up there, i added a air con thermo fan and have replaced the clutch in the engine fan.

Its just that the radiator cannot get enough air from the front. its a Mspec radiator as well.. I need to move the oil cooler and install another thermo fan i think.

Try fitting an alloy radiator and a Nismo thermo stat.

Sounds like i have a similar set-up to yours, but i have cut the reo :), and my temps are mainly stable at 64-68deg. The highest i have ever seen it was 86deg at a drift day.

PS: Bonnet vents help alot too ;)

Who did you get to fill in the missing bits around the inside edge of the bar openeing?

A plastic welder in East Keilor, VIC.

I think they have closed down since, but you should be able to find one in the yellow pages.

im keen to give it a go on the track, will c the EPA about it considdering the fact that i have no cat... ill need to do some mods before she is finished however will need a good tuner. Guilt-Toy seems to have his head screwed on with loktite lol might see him about it....

nice setup! i do have a alloy radiator, its a mspec one. my temps are okay on a 40deg day when my air con is off, as soon as i turn the air con on the temps go through the roof... got up to 102deg today (cycle idle was off)

I got a new genuine nissan thermostat as well.

My oil cooler is on the other side so my fan is where your oil cooler is.

are you running a rediator shroud? I broke mine and havent been able to find one recently and I find my temps sit around 86' compared with 81' when I first fitted the ally radiator with shroud

Hey Al have you got more pics of your car somewhere its on f*kin clean gtst!

yes i i do have the shroud.. seems my car runs a bit hotter for some reason... might try some better coolant or move the oil cooler? my oil cooler is heaps bigger then that one on Als car

not to mention a std air box

his injectors are maxed out tho, he should think about an upgrade, i suggested sard 850's would give some nice headroom.

Just an update for those interested, i have noticed this thread has been a bit quiet of late.

I have sold the 555's and in the process of purchasing SARD 850's (should receive mid next week).

Also purchasing 24psi actuator off a fellow member which i should recieve early next week also.

POD filter has just been bolted back on.

Be interesting to see how it goes holding the 24psi boost with plenty of fuel and air. Adrian will be tuning again (your a legend mate whats this make it 5 or so now). If it feels noticeably different it will getting run up on the same dyno again. If not it can wait til next months dyno comp.

I'll add my 2c too.

We finally fired up my RB25DET at the end of last week using 910cc inj' and running E85 for the first time.

Scaling ~25% fuel out of the map for the old 550's saw it start up and purr away like a kitten.

And now that the Adelaide temp's have dropped from 'insanely hot' to mid 20's I'm expecting a dyno number sometime next week. Still have to do a bit of tidying up after the rail and injector change, but it all looks neat enough.

:) Ha-ha. He's a man with a memory like an elephant. I was considering upgrading the cement to top quality 300*300*40 pavers, as not only do they give a nicer Autosalon style boot display, but they also allow more adjustment in weight distribution :)

GT: May I suggest attempting to swap your radiator for a stock Koyo one?

Have seen issues from Alloy rads not dispersing heat properly.

Either that, or chuck a volt meter in the coolant whilst engine is running, and against battery earth... Do not let the probe in the water touch metal of radiator.

Then do a test from rad itself to battery neg...

If you get a voltage usually about like 0.5Volts on either, throw an earth strap on the rad.

you mean a stock nissan one? i do have a spare actually.. and as for the earth, i already have a earth strap on it.. put that on a couple of weeks after i got the alloy radiator...

I am getting one of those swirl pots, to go on the cooling system. when i turn the car off i can hear bubbling in my coolant system.. just noticed it.. maybe the top mount turbo is causing air in the line and causing the extra heat?

is it bad to run the engine at 100deg? or 97?

Brief stints at those temp's are nothing to be majorly concerned about, but if it's a regular occurrence I'd be looking at rectifying the situation, GT.

It's not something simple like a dud radiator cap is it - I know it's one of the first checks you would do, but I thought I'd ask.

Bubbling is also an indicator of head gasket or head problems which would also cause it to run hot.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
