Really? Care to elaborate? Mine pretty much sits on just over half way in 40+ deg heat in peak hour.

Well, on my informeter, on a 40ish day mine will run 96+ degrees, peaking at 104deg in traffic; and the needle never went over halfway.

So I'd question the validity of using the needle for evaluating actual temps as the resolution of the gauge is quite poor.

I'd much rather see nothing over mid 90s as a peak and mid 80s on the move.

I see much the same, even with the tripple pass mishimoto, the stock thermostat hovers around 90 on average. Nothing wrong with that, the clearances are designed for it. I did notice the oil temps shoot up after a spirited drive through the hills, even with the cooler. I would be more worried about that if you plan to add power.

Doesn't the informeter use the temp out from the sensor in the block, which goes to the ECU? This is the same sensor as used by the gauge?

What sort of temps does the oil temp get up to Scotty? Anything crazy?

That was a m35 one yeah? Anyone know if v35 and m35 are identical?

I got mine from parafield radiators. the v35 are the same if they are auto.

They had koyo in stock for 350-400 from memory

My race radiator was about $250 delivered....was great on the track kept the water temp at around 86-90 the whole time. The other cooler you need if you go on the track is the power steering cooler...I boiled mine in about 6 laps

Your was a China jobbie wasn't it? You had to mod the filler neck / top tank yeah? Not too worried if I have to carve out the rad support, I think the more cooling capacity the better.

I'd rather have the thermostat opening and closing in winter, than watching the temps spiralling out of control and having to baby the shit out of the car in summer because it's on the verge of overheating constantly when you lean on it. Even in mid 20's weather it gets up around 94 deg when you give it a sustained hiding or some decent uphill.

My GSXR1000 gets up to 102 deg in traffic in hot weather (37-40+ deg), but as soon as the fan comes on, or you are going more than 40km/h the temp dives down to the low 90's. That's what I deem acceptable.

You need airflow, but you also need enough core area and liquid volume to store & shed heat effectively.

The OEM rad doesn't have enough of either.

I was surprised to lean a little while ago that mid 90's Magna's run a Power Steering cooler...:blink:

Would be interested in a link if the source still exists.

Considering the Koyo option from the states is around $430 it's going to be hard to beat I think. That said if there's a 100% guaranteed drop in and everything fits perfectly option I'd be tempted to spend a bit more..

It would be worth asking Streeter if you had something else you could drive around in.

Go see Tonkins. They said theyd measure up and make sure it fit 100%. If you go find out part number amd how much because Ill want one before summer, might order two at trade price. See what they say.

Emailed Jesse ~AUD$1,730 for a Koyo.

Dropped into Tonkins tonight but the two fellas there told me to come back tomorrow "while the boss is around". Flipped through their parts catalogue but couldn't even find anything for a V35.

Ordered a set of Stoptech braided lines. Thanks Ironpaw for the advice.

My DBA 4000 T3 rotors are getting made, should be here in just over a week. Then just need brake fluid and I'm ready to finish my brake upgrade!

Ordered the TransGo shift kit.

Just have to fill up and I'm ready for dyno day tomorrow!

Almost ready for my Gymkhana trip, probably order BCs, fit them up then get it wheel aligned and the adjustable toe arms fitted. Also looking at getting Brad to help me put in a pair of headrest monitors for my back seat passengers.

Good week for the Stag, despite NOTHING getting fitted! Exciting! :thumbsup:

I did a half tank last night, at $1.61 p/L that was all I could justify. Shoulda bought on Tuesday! >_<

Also took the boat through the drive through happy wash, ultimate slackness I know - it was waaaaaay dirty. Now ever so slightly less dirty. It'll do.

Hmm. I should clean it. Oh well.

Only need half a tank, got some octane booster to try too. Was told it would make a difference, but I have my doubts...

What time you getting there?

Your cars white, it doesnt show the dirt like a dark colour. Mine had gone probably 2 months without a wash :ninja:

I guess aiming for around 8am? Far too early for a Saturday. Given they wanted to run all the AWD's first, and theres still a few gaps early on - Id suggest we may get bumped 'earlier' to fill those gaps.

So Tonkins don't recommend alloy ones at all. I brought it up a few times and every time he just told me to replace it with a standard one. His main argument is that they cost lots of money and if they leak they can't repair them.

FYI: Koyo V2588 from Street to Track for $545 delivered, Mishimoto MMRAD-G35-03 $475 delivered.

Still not sure what to do!

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
