So today was the first day my cars temperature went passed half way and almost at the H marker.

Should i be worried?

Cause its sitting in the garage now making gurgling sounds n shit and ive never had a car that heated up that much.

Yes you should be worried. Stock gauge only hits H when something is very wrong. Check your cooling system.

there has been a bit of this going on for a while already. parts suppliers get ready to close doors, car manufacturers cant complete cars without specific part(s), so they throw enough money at it (making a loss) to keep the production line running until they find a new source for the same/similar parts.

Some of the decline of the Aus car market i think is still due to the slow and pain death of the manufacturing industry, not entirely on price and market domination

Dat awkward feel when your job is in manufacturing industry :/

I'm going to say that your radiator is gone

Same thing has happened to me.

Careful Steve, Tony's car is now a write off... Learn from his mistakes before it's too late. Check your coolant and make sure that you've got pressure... Could still be something simple like your radiator cap not holding enough pressure.

Lol don't scare him

My car was a write off for different reasons :P

have you checked your coolant?

Im going to guess that you need to top up the coolant in your radiator

It never hit the H, it went to the notch before when i was stopped. Mate told me to check my water pump =\

remove drain plug and turn car on.... if water is pumped out (as opposed to drained by gravity) your water pump should be fine

you'd be surprised how much of an effect a busted rad cap can have.

Car had a minor done last week. It was when the car stopped on the freeway ( trafic ) the heat would rise, but once i started rolling (60 km/h+) the needle would drop. the part that concerned me the most was when i got it home and shut it down the water bubbling sounds it was making.

Suits best show ever waiting or season 3 bad season 2 was epic makes me wanna be a lawyer every chck is smokin! That and they seemingly do no work and make millions.

That's reality right ?

Yeah Harvey Spectre is baws

New episode is out on 17th

Pepper your angus

You're kidding right...just sending the suit back over takes a month or two.

Last time it was about $550 for a full suit + two tailored shirts.

Thats pretty pricy

I'm paying around 400 for mine with 5 shirts, Tailor in HK

last one was from thailand, quality was shit.

but yeah I went from hating suits to loving them jsut from one tailored job.

when something fits perfect you love wearing it,

oh yeah and cufflinks do rock.

mmm carbon cufflinks

The hot part is...last two girls I hooked up with were lawyers, both pretty cute...there was a third that I didn't get with. Saw a hot lawyer in the paper the other day too. Envy for Ric's job!

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
