I have a super crap quality video showing traction issues from a rolling start, the RSR's are hot and sticky here but still it only grips up in 3rd as i shifted early which lost a bit of momentum, LOVING the 7700rpm shift light (Uses the engine light) its still a lot of laughs -

Of course this was performed on a private driver training centre!

Yep. Yours is faster than mine :glare:

Lol when it wants to actually go without breaking something! Wait till the next update with "Broken" bits....

whats the go with the wipers cutting in during third gear, i cant see you hitting the 'stick'? lol :P

Yeah they were on intermittant as i had water on the windscreen from washing it, i was not paying much attention to the wiper operation at that stage :P

While cruising the Haltech dropped the car into a "safe" mode but i was on Pennant Hills Rd and it took a while to get a place to stop safely, the temps were looking OK on the factory gauges but obviously the Haltech was getting a more accurate reading and wanting the car to shut down..... After shutting the car down I could smell coolant and then the stress cracks in the radiator decided they had enough -

So at this time we had to let the car cool off too dead cold before attempting to repair etc to get home, a tube of trusty super glue and the cap on its first click did it but my nice black engine bay looks incredibly crap now!!! Will get in and detail once the cooling system repairs take place...

So first things first, i need better gauges to get an idea on what the temps are really doing, after a bit of research and reading some independant tests it shows the cheapie stepper motor gauges are doing everything the big names can so i opted for the Race Tech Race Series (Fancy name for Defi copy that you can adjust stuff on lol) -

I chose Water Temp, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure as they seemed like the ones i need to be keeping an eye on! The new Greddy Boost controller reads boost which i dont wanna see anyway as if it spikes the Haltech is all over it!

I also chose the blue LED to keep the dash with the Blue with Red needles, the Greddy Boost controller now also fits the look!

This is an old pic but you get the idea.....

I did some research on radiators as i was going to purchase just an Ebay spec and then figured it was probably just asking for trouble after hearing stories of them buckling and leaking etc..... So after narrowing the choice down to 3 brands/types i went with the Racepace triple pass radiator which seems to get a pretty good review from the guys currently using them, Chris from Racepace was super helpful and the purchase was made -

And YES for those wondering it will be getting MOAR black when i get the time lol

To get a sender to fit i needed to purchase a Speedflow adapter -

My stock radiator packed up last week too! :angry: was lucky that it didnt overheat , i just noticed it all pissing out from underneath when i got home, the stock one is really thin and looking at it i dont know how it lasted so long..

anyway, i ended up getting a cheapy from autobarn but looks the same as the one you've pictured, says MSpec on the top, i guess it was just a matter of time hey....

that whistle is awesome in the vid :whistling: more vids needed :worship:

They look similar on the outside but this is a triple pass radiator, i found cheaper Koyo rads etc but after talking to a few people it seemed the N flo was a good design as it keeps the water in the radiator longer etc....

The whistle is awesome, its one of the reasons i havent swapped the bigger turbo onto the car as i do love it!

I should be ready to bolt it back together BUT i just need a confirmed answer with that sensor, as you can see in the second pic the sensor bottoms out on the adapter and i need to know what to use to seal it etc.... As soon as i know the answer to that i can get it all back together :)

So that's why you didn't come to the track day!!!

Next month I think they are having another one ;)

Thinking of changing my rad setup too, PM price of the race pace one when you get a chance

U got PM :thumbsup:

I'll be out there soon enough mate!!

How much did those guages set you back man?

You can get the cheap off Ebay, i wanted them quick so i ordered them through an Aussie supplier for overnight delivery for $250...... You can get the non adjustable ones cheaper again.......

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
