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!

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
