May be your thermostat mate get it checked out to make sure it is functioning well etc

Nip into natrad

But seriously does it go Immediately to hot when you start the car (within a few seconds?) ? If so electrical gremlin

If it takes a bit longer like normal warming up from cold and goes hot after a few minutes - then dont drive it. Get it checked out or the consequences will be serious,, if not already.

Youv'e checked the basics ?

Ie: is full of coolant, flushed it properly, refilled, no air in the system, waterpump working? Therrnostat as above

the cooling system seems to be working fine had the car running for a while it has brand new water pump when i turn the key to on position the temp gauge goes straight to hot but when i turn the engine on it goes straight down and does not move at all the heater works so that tells me that the thermostat is opening up the rpm gauge does not move at all either i dont know if it has anything to do with that or not i know the engine has been changed it is a r32 gtst with a rb20de put in it and previous owner has done the conversion could there be anything he forgot to plug in or anything like that


Think your right. If your RPM and Temp gage are playing up then yeah.

Good luck sorting it. -> Auto electrician time

Edit: Can you swap cluster over with a known working one just to confirm it is wiring and not cluster. (5or6 screws)

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
