Cluster comes with 147Km on odo. Just goes to show how far wound back most cars are that are sold here (assuming fairly typical distance travelled). Having said that, I don't particularly want my car having an extra 50K added to the odometer. Then you got to explain to everyone who looks at it... lol

well your probably aware that 87-90 degrees of water is normal for our car.

its just how thin the radiator is and the load on it.

bigger radiator to take the load for winter will far out do the thermostat, especially if it ends up being too cold and keeps the car is a cold start map lol

Don't confuse the Nismo thermostat (which doesn't do that) with the Mishimoto thermostat (which does do that).

Bigger radiator would be more beneficial in the summer you'd think, yes?

yeh but there is a lower temp nismo thermostat available. isnt there?

i duno what your trying to get at

I thought Nismo was lower than stock, and Mishimoto was lower again.

Thought I read a thread on here where Scott fitted the Mishimoto and it was too cold and stuffed the car around, but I haven't seen much on the Nismo?

I run a 54mm race radiator and the Nismo thermostat.......no problems with my car with normal running in winter.....it hangs around 85 to 89 in traffic and about 84 on the freeway on hot or cold days....pretty sure from memory it was the same in summer.

On the track it dropped down 2 degrees and ran a perfect 83 degrees the whole time.......makes me think that it would do about 85-86 degree's in summer on the track!

Below would be what I am getting at, thanks Ryan.

You don't really hear anything about them because the Nismo just works.

no you can legally change them over and report the change, to be honest i dont know whats involved. mine was only a few thousand off so i didnt bother

Mine has 25,000k's on the odo now. ;) I still have the original I can give the next buyer but I don't think they will care. Its obvious an aftermarket Nismo dash will change the K's isnt it?

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
