driving around in bris and home today was not pretty. Oil temp was higher than the lineup at centrelink

[sonnyQ]

and +1 to great white leader and Amy, good dinners indeed

Check your cooling system, Clint.

Only a matter of time before you blow a gasket or something.

Oil temps shouldn't be high with just regular driving even with the ambient temps we're getting.

The old 180 sat perfectly fine in 40degree heat not moving with the aircon on...until she started overheating after a thrash and then the Koyo went in

Rad flush and fresh coolant + thermostat will get her all nice and purty again

[tommis85]

Yes it definitely was a nice feed! Bit of a hot one for a cruise though haha!

And yeh Clint, +1 with what Nick says there...if you need a hand let me know - ESP is always here to help haha

[tommis85]

And yeh guys, on the way back from Chris's, just after we were talking about them, I saw the white 35 on James St

[sonnyQ]

Thanks guys. Coolant temp never moved, was just oil temp got higher than normal.

Saw a gun metal/dark purple 35 pulling onto Margaret on Boxing day. Was totally jello

[tommis85]

Ah that's good...yeh the oil does creep up a bit on these hot days man

Oh nice! That must've been one of the two resident 35's we have here. Man imagine driving that thing around all day knowing you got so much f**king power

I don't know how accurate the R34 gauge is for oil. It could be out of whack.

However, if it is correct, then elevated oil temps can be linked with the inability of your cooling system to keep temps in check.

The nissan water temp gauge is the most inaccurate thing ever. Once it indicates things are hot, you've cooked the motor

I was lucky enough to catch my gauge in the process of getting hot...it was only 3/4 of the way but by then, even my intercooler cold pipe too hot to touch. Managed to crawl the old girl home with the heater on full whack to help with temps.

New coolant and thermostat (optional) is cheap. Cheaper still that there are mates out there willing to help.

1 weekend without alcohol is all it costs LOLOL

I'll be owning one of these after this weekend HA

You've wrecked your old ones already?

They were only 1/3 worn!!

No wonder you need 2 jobs........

They died of smoke inhalation

Moving into our new place at Laidley on thursday, guess I'd better start trolling this thread more. Hopefully I can get the 32 fixed and come on some cruises soon. Stupid ceramic turbos.

It's as red as your car is RB powered...

[me_larr]

Well it does emit a fair bit of heat LOL

Finally moved in and internet connected, getting car moved out here next week so I can start ripping it apart ready to replace dead bits. If I see an orange and black 33 I'll be yelling 'abomination' and pointing.
