Hey guys, just wondering, the overnight i drove down to MT Macesondon on the high mountains and was just wondering, my water temp readings were wierd, i wasnt even thrashing it and my temp would go up to 103-106 and i didnt even put my foot down at all when im up high, but when i was driving down normally my temp would eventually drop.... its wierd... my car temp is wierd like its going up and down when i dont even thrash it? I have ordered an ISC radioator hopefully it would make a diffrence...

Also my coolant has been changed 1month ago...

there is no reason you need to run such a low temp thermostat in a street car combine that with a decent radiator and the thing will never be at propper operating temp.

Id also have to disagree.

They open at 78-81 for a reason.

All your going to do by putting in a cooler thermostat is not let the engine ever warm up properly. And thats not a good thing.

So what "gains" are you "reaping" exactly?

stick with a genuine nissan thermostat, i have had nearly 10 dud tridon ones supplied by customers even after trying to convince them otherwise. Now i refuse to fit anything other than genuine.

Check your clutch fan as it sounds like the clutch is giving out.

Ok cool, i'll have a look, thanks Trent.

I was looking at the engine bay before, I cannot seem to find the thermostat and the bleed valve... Here are some pictures, If anyone can let me know where it is in the picture , can you guys circle it in red?

follow your bottom rad hose back to the engine, the thermostat is there.

bleeder is front right side of plenum.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
