The coolant thermostat? It's just three bolts, no need to remove the radiator or fan.

With the o2 issue, I seem to remember Jaycar having a kit to combat this very problem. Perhaps you could look into it?

I'm pulling the radiator out anyway to put the Mishi in, and switching to thermos.

I'll look into the Jaycar kit and see what I can come up with.

I'm seeking some guidance on what i should do to my stagea next. I have a hi flow turbo, and need/want both the dump and the FMIC. I can't afford both just yet, so can anyone recommend which would be more beneficial to go in first.

Cheers

Dump/exhaust. No question. FMIC looks shiny and nice but didn't notice much difference.

and you wont notice a difference with the FMIC. but when its 40+ degrees, your car wont be as bad as the stock FMIC, and you can also safely run more boost.

No PM yet... I just got back a spare actuator so I can send one over to Perth, that way you don't have the car off the road too long. I will need your original one back though, for the next person. :)

I had a thrash around Sandown today, happy to say the car ran very well. Still have to work on the cooling setup, even those massive 30 row coolers aren't up to the task. I may have to invest in some kind of water spaying setup for the front. 30 degree day at full noise saw everything shoot up. Oil hit 127 degrees, water 122 and the trans got to 105, all within 3 laps. :unsure:

At least the gearbox was ok. No limp mode, no slipping clutches. :)

Thats impressive Scotty. Thermos or clutch fan?

I've seen guys run water sprayers on intercoolers down here and seems to work a treat. Might be worth a go, and sounds like a cheap solution.

I got the Mishimoto radiator in today finally. Not a fun job. Even the new G35 radiator needs a lot of modding to make it fit.

Still need to connect the hoses and fill it up, and sort out the trans cooler. Not a job I'll be doing today, outside, in 39 degree heat.

Twin thermo's and the engine fan, all running constant.

Those Mishimoto radiators are a little difficult to fit, the top right mounting pin is slightly out, meaning you need to ditch the rubber part, and the condenser is hard up against it.

Rear mounted radiator?

Glad you had no failures; you could always drive slower... :whistling:

Got home to see the wife vacuuming the dog hair out.

Training completed. :P

Well done....I'd believe she is a hard one to crack as well!

I had mine trained in 3 months.....she still don't vacuum though!

In a Christmas miracle, the car is back together, radiator in, Nismo thermostat in, Mishimoto silicon hoses in, B&M trans cooler in, bled (sort of), trans topped up, and ready to go.

That Mishi radiator is a bloody pain to fit. And bleeding these things? Scotty's cooling mod makes it easier but its still a bitch. Seems like the trick is to get the billet tap exactly upright the whole time you're bleeding.

Looking forward to driving for the first bit of tomorrow, and then giving it some hills spanking on the way up to Mannum for holidays!

What nismo thermostat did you fit. Is the one for the vq35 the same?

Yup. VQ35 is the same. Temps average at 77 now. Not sure if that's too cold but we'll see what happens when the thermos go in.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
