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.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
