There is plenty of water flow through the top of the radiator, i just pulled the cap off with the water temp at 64 deg and started the car and there was heaps of water flow going through the top of the radiator.

It all started after the GTSS turbos went on. So Im considering just getting new water pipes for the turbos and see if they help at all, a set if about $60 on ebay. I cant see the turbo feed and drain pipes cauing the engine water temps to get that high but on idle.

Im getting cams in the next few months. So will be doing the 100000km service at the same time. Would an N1 water pump be of an advantage or would the std be better. Will get a new craig davies clutch fan aswell.

The impellor design of the Nismo should flow more water with the same effort but how much effect that would have on cooling is probably jack shit. Cooling the water is all in the radiator. Get a triple core.

It flows less water than the standard one so it doesn't cavitate at high rpm

i had a wierd issue with my car after changing the turbo so this is a long shot for you...

my tuner left the splash gaurd off the bottom of the car after i picked it up and wasn't until the following week i figured out the issue as the fan was blowing the dirt around on the drivway... i then got it put back on and the car ran cooler... just a thought.

Yeh I had the splash tray off for a bit and placed it back on along with the diffuser and hasnt made a stick of difference

BSA not really understanding where your going with that one, even if it was the stock thermostat it would still stay open in this weather. Also when the thermostat closes it allows the coolant to heat up quicker.

When I was looking at going to a nismo thermostat I did heaps of research there are a few opinions on them. Most people recommended to only use them for track use as some people had overheating problems when used on the road that's why I suggested it. I know I sound stupid but just sharing what iv learnt over the years

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
