Hi Guys

Anyone can recommend a good garage for my V35. Im having the engine heating issues, i have change the radiator and also tested the Thermostat but still same issues.

I already ordered a new genuine nissan water pump but dont want to venture replacing it. My regular garage is a lazy bastard and dont want to do it

Any advice or recommendation of a garage in South eastern suburb . im in berwick

cheers

Agreed. Don't take it any where else.

If the overheating problem is caused by an airlock, Scott can make you a special bleed valve.

Apparently they air lock really easy after a rad or coolant change.

Hi

The fans works fine and it will start up as soon as the temperature goes a bit high but then soon after the needle will climb to the hottest point

The old radiator has a cracked in it and i replaced it with a new aluminum one and thermostat is opening and closing properly. I do hope its an air block.

These engines overheat very easily, just one cupful of coolant missing is enough to airlock the cooling system. It needs to be bled from the rear bleed point only, it can't be done from the radiator cap.

My coolant bypass kit gets rid of most of the common airlock issues, and replaces that stupid plastic bleed point with a custom alloy part incorporating a ball valve. Makes for a one fill cooling system by allowing the air trapped in the block to escape easily. It also increases the flow of coolant by 50%.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
