my trust kit on the 31 leaked

...but that was because I was missing an O ring :D

justjap ones have no thermo and are not as quality as the trust/grex

Yeah you want the thermo in it, otherwise it takes forever to get up to proper operating temp. Not good.

I wanted it lol was looking for one for ages and then I lost my job and found it. Was like dammit!!!! :D

I'm not TOO fussed as it's for my track car, so it won't spend much time cold. But I would prefer a thermostat.

Ah yeah, still good to have. Shorter the engine is cold the better.

Oh I want a track car :D

one man mexican wave?

You know it

Quick question, would a leaking water pump keep your radiator coolent level but empty your reservoir?

Leaky radiator cap ?

Quick question, would a leaking water pump keep your radiator coolent level but empty your reservoir?

Could do as when the car cools down it will suck the water in from the reservoir. Fill it up and take the car for a drive and get it hot then have a look to see with the car running if its blowing any bubbles or anything in the reservoir. If it is will be a blown head gasket. Check that the reservoir isn't split been that its plastic as well. Have seen this happen before.

Just some things to look at.

Hope this helps

Quick question, would a leaking water pump keep your radiator coolent level but empty your reservoir?

In a properly working cooling system it will empty your reservoir first, but it would eventually start emptying the main cooling system (radiator) too.

But this is regardless of where the leak is in the system, it could be water pump, hose, just about anything.

Why do you suspect water pump?

Why do you suspect water pump?

After researching it seems like water pump failure isnt that uncommon. The car has never been overheated before but I've filled the reservoir up 3 or 4 times with coolent since my last service (8000km).

I can see coolent residue on the car when its up on hoist too but never a patch of green stuff when I park.

What I wanna know is how is the system diagram like... what goes where. I might try googling and see if anything comes up.

ps: I'm hoping its the water pump because I'm changing that out this weekend for major service!

    • Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...
    • I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
