who pushes their cars on hot days anyways >.< i know i never do... i dont really notice much difference when your just casual driving.

I do. Tho my car is a street car only, I still have cooling modifications (oil, water)... the extra heat really only kills you at the track, during street driving the most hot weather does is reduce the efficiency of combustion due to higher air temps.... just remember, the engine gets hot from the combusion inside it which always exceeds the ambient temperature around it.... provided you have enough heat exchange with your radiator and possible oil cooler, you shouldn't have any issues. There is a power loss on hot days (aircon being one but ability for intercooler to chill the air being another) but in street driving all you gotta do is give it a bit more revs to compensate and everythings fine...

Car has never overheated yet, but having said that I did recently upgrade to an ISC radiator and N1 water pump, new hoses and new nissan glycol based coolant. Already noticed a very slight drop in temperature in average daily driving but haven't yet driven it it 40'c+ weather - I'm sure they'll both cope :sick:

Caveat - If you spend your 'street' driving around 6000-7000 rpm then yeah u might have issues ;P

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
