Yesterday I was driving home with the A/C on and noticed the temp was slightly up. Normally the gauge needle is in the middle ( flat ) or just below but yesterday it was about 3mm above the middle. I'm not getting too concerned just yet but was just wondering how other RB25DE NEO owners run temp wise on a hot day ?? Especially those of you up in QLD or WA who cop big temps.

Feedback please. :thumbsup:

I think it was around the low 30's mark.

Also, noticed that lately the thermo fan has been on even at normalish operating temps :thumbsup:

I thought it was only supposed to come on if the A/C was on or if the engine temp got too hot, but not at normalish operating temps.

By engine temp and the gauge you mean water temp, have you checked your coolant recently to see if it's full, look at the overflow as well, also if you haven't flushed your radiator recently give it a go, mines always in the middle and never see's anymore than 80 degrees according to aftermarket gauge I found out the hard way once it was rising but when your cruising it goes back to normal, then when you leave it to idle it rises, I checked 2 things .. Leak in radiator and water pump turned out to be hole in radiator about 70 bucks to repair

But I've got aftermarket radiator so yeah temps can drop to 70 while cruising

Can't find any leaks, heaps of A grade coolant etc. Today was around the same temp but the engine temp didn't go up so........ ;)

Here's where the temp normally is and the red line is where it went up to.

Maybe a sticking thermostat. Will have to monitor I guess.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
