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

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
