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.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
