hey guys

i just changed the turbo on my r32 gts4, i put in a R33 turbo that was rebuilt and hiflow'd! also using a justjap slipt dump pipe(screamer)

car was running perfectly fine! the turbo lines were just all cut off and a hose fitted and tightend.

coolent is flused and new. car runs fine as it is without steping on it but then when i step on it within like a minute or so the temp gauge starts going up high!

When the car is turned off i can hear the water boiling.

Nothing is leaking!

hope someone can help so i can resolve this problem!

thanks

hmm strange...

the turbo lines were just all cut off and a hose fitted and tightend.

explain this?

you mean to say your running a water cooled turbo, without the water lines attached?

you have not bleed the cooling system correctly. you should fix this ASAP before you damage your engine.

If you are unsure how to do this, take your car to a mechanic who knows how to bleed skylines and get it done properly.

You might have an air lock in your cooling system for when you flushed it. If so, try starting your car with the rad cap open. keep it open even afther the thermostat opens. this way the bubbles will eventually go away. Hope it help!

Cheers!

Take it all the way out. It pays to turn heater on to get the air out of the heater system aswell. Water will trickle out when the air is out. It does take a little while for the water to come out okies.

take it somewhere to bleed it if you arent sure, you could easily have your temps over 100 degrees without even knowing it.

if you INSIST to do it yourself the steps are:

- start the car with the radiator cap off, keep topping it up till its filled.

- turn on the heater to the HOTTEST setting and run it at its maximum speed.

- loosen the bleeder till its around 1 thread till its off and keep it there till its completely bled.

- keep going till no bubbles come out of the bleeder.

you can use some kind of funnel type thing (see below) to help it along.

i dont have a bleeder on mine, i do the old 'put on a sealed bottle to raise the highest point of the cooling system' trick. works well, car bleeds pretty quick. you have to block off the overflow hose for it to work properly though.

I changed the coolant not long ago in mine... I did all the things security has mentioned.... thought all the bubbles were out, took it for a drive and on the pfc it was telling me straight away that the temps were going up... went straight back home (only got down the street) i let it bleed for 15 mins which i thought was enough.... ended up taking like 30 mins with the heater going full.... so how long did u bleed urs for?

you replied 30mins after i posted - i highly doubt you did it right mate.

i wait there, squeeze both of the radiator hoses continuously as im topping up my funnel thing - it just helps get ALL of the air bubbles out. i suggest taking it to someone who knows what theyre doing.

Mate dont risk f**king your engine up, dont touch it unless you know exactly what ya doing, take it, wait, and pay a proffessional mechanic to do it the right way, then you can get that piece of mind and sleep like a baby.

dont mean to sound like a dickhead, but i dont want your car to blow up :)

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
