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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
