hey, Question - how can you tell when you require a new thermostat?

Going to do a service in a couple of weeks time, RB25det is a fair bit sluggish prior to warmup these days.

In the old days I used to take it out and put it in a kettle with a thermometer and watch the temp on the thermometer and see when it opened or activated the circuit.

Not perfect but it always let me know if it was working properly...

Also it is a thermostat... $35 to $40 just change it lol ;)

when your car overheats.....

they're not expensive so if its old just replace it.

Oh ok, Thx guys. Car doesn't overheat, radiator is pretty fresh. Due for my home service, and probably needs the timing checked. Can't afford dyno time, still :( just sluggish on cold start....

Mobilecouch - see Shaun Dunns at Boostworx, or Martin Donnan at Willal racing.

had my powerrun done today at willall -160kw @4psi and 180kw @ 8psi

i enquired about the ecu while i was there. they said that because it's an "older" skyline that they'd charge more to get the work done but they'll tune it once ive finished modding. meh.

ill give boostworx a call on monday.

can anyone recommend a workshop in adelaide that sells and fits a z32 ecu with nistune to suit a rb25det?

Jaustech brother, tell them Wayne sent you :)

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
