Isnt the cap and inlet/outlet in the wrong spot on the 350z?

I have my old stockie here if you need race radiators to make one up off it, has yours failed Keir?

It has but the radiator shop i went to (High tech radiators) i believe has pulled a bit of a swifty on me.

They said theyd replace the oring on the top tank which was only barely leaking but suggested i pay for a custom top tank to be made up for $500. I refused and said replace the o-ring,

They ring back two hours later saying the top plastic tank cracked on refit. Basically sucked me in with no choice. (even though thats been known to happen with warpage but i bet they wernt soft with it). Its been at the shop since monday now apparently should get it back tomorrow but no word yet.

I shouldve consulted you about that rad kinda spewing i didnt. unless i got a pvr one made up.

Have you paid the yet?

Perhaps pay PWR for their "G35/V35" off the shelf unit might be better.

Should set you back about $800 I would think and is a bolt in item.

As a reference for anyone who has their radiator die this summer in Vic, Race Radiators can make up a custom radiator and include your OEM trans cooler for around the $700-750 mark.

So typical.

Havent paid it yet.. but im bound to pay for it. as theyve trapped me into making a custom tank and its virtually finished in a matter of hours.

I will however be using this option next time i have cooling system issues. and go straight to PWR and get one of theirs.

I live in qld and overheating is an issue you gotta be constantly aware of here.. In fact here you shouldnt really be going hard on hot days.

I remember there always being at least 1 boxer motor die on rexy meets , simply from overheating especially in summer!

100% hummidity ftl!

was the mishimoto bigger as in core wise ?

and did it come in aliminum or brass ?

I'm thinking i should've got a brass one made up instead so it can be rebuilt on the cheap when knackered.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
