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.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
