hey guys pretty much what the title says. put the heater all the way up to 32 degrees but its no where near hot. just changed my radiator aswell as coolant obviously and now it doesn't work properly. i know i won't need it since its getting hotter but want it fixed.

i would check at the rear of the motor on the firewall, the heater water lines have a valve on them that is operated by a cable from in the cabin. check said cable is still over its pin, or you will never get that valve open. its not that your coolant isnt hot, its that it isnt going through.

If all is good there, maybe something unplugged somewhere. if it was working fine before, good luck lol

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.

      That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.

      You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.

      Rebuild Original Nismo Struts (R32 GTR)

      So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.

      Rebuild Original Nismo Struts (R32 GTR)

      By T0m · Posted

      Hi All, Does anyone know how or who (shop) could rebuild my original R32 GTR Nismo struts? These are the OG logo ones that were a factory option back in the day. I've replaced them with aftermarket coilovers which are good, but the OG Nizmo struts tha i bought the car with i feel are amazing, just the rubber tops are worn and would need replacing... Plus it would make it 100 time easier for me to get the GTR fully engineered without adjustable coilovers... I was considering selling the OG suspension, but if i can get them rebuild / refurbished, I would seariously put them back on. Cheers, Tom   p.s. I'm in Sydney by the way and don't mind travelling if need be to get these puppies rebuilt.
