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.

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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
