Cool Running Temp For Rb20

[Aaron BNR32 GTS-T]

ok so long story short i had to replace my radiaror etc because of an accident....

so ive replace the stock clutch fan (just the blades) with an rb25 one, put a GTR (as i belive) rediator in it

and had the type m bar put on so kicked the front mount for a r34 side mount.

ive been driving it since sat night and the coolant temp has been hovering between 60*c and 70*c and thats been in

the temps of around 20 to 27 (temp guage in the car and tem sender in top radiator hose)

and today ive seen a max temp on about 77*c to 78*c (in 30 degree heat in fraffic) and dropped back down to about 70*c to 75*c

just wondering if this is alright or not? before i replaced everything it used to be around 80* most the time....

any opinions? could it be an aus spec twin core radiator?

cheers

Sounds normal to me.

ok just didnt know if it were normal or not cause i have herd that RB's like to run pretty warm.

i know the stock thermostat is fully open at the mid 70's wile the nismo ones are 65 to 68*c

stock thermostat is 76.5C, but thats in the bottom hose, temp sender is in the top hose at the hottest point. so when the thermostat normally opens coolant temp is over 80.

having said that 60-80 is fine. hottest myne gets on days like yours is 70-72, doesnt cause any problems other than possibly keeping the oil a touch cooler and therefore thicker (negligible)
