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 :P

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

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

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 :yes:

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 :ph34r:

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.

Sounds good bro, I'm in the next town over at Gatton. if someone waves at you from a Red and Black 33 that'd be me :)

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.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.

      No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
