Thought you skyline maggots might be able to help. My VN AERO is having heat soak issues and im sick of getting stranded un able to start her up. I Usually use the garden hose to cool the bastard down enough to get going but im after a long term solution. Was thinlking maybe rigging it up so alot of my electrics and battery are mounted under the drivers seat. Happy to hear any sugggestions

Go back inside your square. You're all the same. Talking like that gets you nowhere no matter what your excuse. We're Skyline enthusiasts here. Insults won't get you anywhere but banned. Ta ta!

hahaha no one drinks VB here

as said previously we talk nicely around here, and things get done

no one likes being called a maggot or tossers specially from someone they don't know

little bit of forum etiquette goes a long way

How about cleaning out your radiator; take it out of the car, use 50/50% kerosene/methylated spirits, flush flush flush

put back in car, use radiator flush (get from Sprint auto parts) and use as directed

fill with good radiator fluid concentrate and distilled water

if no good perhaps the radiator is too far gone and needs replacement, if so ebay or commo auto spares

then sell and buy a skyline.. the R31 uses RB30 which you'll find in a VL so you'll still feel a little commmmmo

yeah radiator clean would be good, maybe big thermo fans with a good shroud.

i had an EH holden that used to get heatsoak from the head to the fuel lines in summer, i had to re-rout the fuel lines and put in a bigger rad then it never skipped a beat

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
