I wish......

it has a single mechanical fan. everything that affects cooling has been replaced except for water pump and head gaskets.... water pump is on order but wont have time to swap it til after the meet. it runs fine in the city so i'll just live with it for now and maybe install a housing without a thermostat til then

while the thermostat is off i should be able to drop a snake cam into the motor and have a look at the pump's fins

Your water pump is ok mate, thats the simplest stuff under time chain case. The problem could be air in system or radiator. Have you relised the air from screw-valve which is almost behind the engine?

Anyway manual says that water pump can be changed without taking chain case off but you will have to play with crankshaft pulley and marks. Also you will get two O-rings with water pump and one of them should come with white double stripe that has to be installed first.

See you all tomorrow, cant do much with the weather sorry, but i hope it stays dry.

Should be a good day :rofl: .

I spoke with a mate who has a white coupe with slamming Volk wheels on and he hopes to be coming too.

I know Brad (ducati02) spoke to a few V35 owners and I believe some of them are coming too.

Yes I let about 20 owners know about the cruise. Ive said to them they should look at joining the club for more events and discounts. Also meet people with same interests. Hope you get a good turn out like the Stagea cruises. Wish to see plenty of photos

Well we had a pretty good turnout for our V-Series SA gathering.

Big :thanks: to everyone that came along, with a special mention to Munro for making an apperence in his R35 GTR.

It was great to meet everyone and get some ideas & tips, we will have organise some future events.

Stay tuned for pics from the cruise, i will have some posted up shortly.

Cheers.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
