i dont think he f**ked anything else, just the radiator.

Jarad, An over pressurised cooling system is a sign of head gasket failure. pressurised combustion gasses etc getting into the cooling system.

ah right, i thought he meant 22 psi through the turbos? like he was running full boost and it f**ked up?

hah i must of missed that :P

Yeah i'm guessing he did, but radiator's don't blow themselves up!!!! plus the combustion pressure will be alot higher then 22psi.

no way 30! if it has done the HG, its only done it because its made the head studsa little longer.... New HG, ARP fittings, strap it down again and enjoy.

might have just been a brittle old top tank. I've had one crack before.

Yeah I've had a tank crack but never blow apart

But agree with the studs comment

How did it get that much pressure in there?

H/G?

Yeah its possible, very hot day and pushed it hard..... But will get another Radiator and test it before i worry too much.

And ill be staying stock NEO, they are a tough bit of gear.... Mines been limiter bashed, leaned out and cooked and it keeps making healthy power even with 145k's but if the HG is gone then i certainly cant get upset as it was pushed pretty damn hard for a factory part lol

Sure is.... But not to say that was the issue yet ;)

or it's because he had a cheap china radiator in it.

they have been know to fail.

but it looks like it was stock. :/

Stock radiator man! Temps were fine on the dyno even on a 42 degree day...... There is another issue and it could be HG or stuck thermostat etc etc

stop sulking tee tee and tell us what happened!!!

LOL no sulking, Coz Racecar..... Cruising along, Haltech drops into protection mode to make me stop, temp gauge is spot on..... Stopped and temp guage started climbing fast..... Pulled over and lifted bonnet then 5-10 seconds later once the pressure built up and the cooling sys super heated the tank split and made my engine bay nice and white..... So the tank only let go once it pressurised which is a good sign BUT it didnt loose much coolant which is the confusing part as to why it ran hot all of a sudden, the Haltech picked up the temp rise and dropped into limp mode to protect the car, the stock guage is usless and still said everything was good lol

vrroooGAAATTTTTTEEEEEEEE ...................sploosh.

Nope the Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate was that morning, i was just light cruise when the issue occured

well it's 40deg and i've just spent the the last 2 hours "walking the belts" (lots of steps and steep inclines) at work

I'm stuffed :turned: ...need to get fit

10min break then i'm back out there again :domokun:

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
