How long does an Rb25det take usually to get to operating temperature?

I noticed that mine takes ages to even start registering on my temp gauge.

I haven't checked the thermostat yet, I'll get to it shortly.

Also, while on the subject, what is the ideal temperature for an rb25det?

Thanks.

It depends on a lot of factors, including the start temp, but the thermostat does the bulk of the work. I would have pulled it out and checked it in boiling water, it would have taken less time than typing the post. :P

Stock temp? Anything around 80 - 90 degrees C would be fine.

Mine only takes about 5 mins if I drive it. Is fairly quick to warm up

Thats just gently driving it, I dont give it anything till its warmed up

Not sure what makes mine different, Even starting in cooler weather of 10 degrees or so doesnt really take it much longer to warm up

Haha, I was sleeping in on my day off so there's no way I was going out into the cold lol.

My car takes a good 20 minutes idling or 15 minutes driving to even start reading on the temp gauge!

Going to pull my thermostat out tomorrow to see if it's leaking...

      Damn, some awesomeness in there. What is the car with the Mk2 golf front, is it a Polo?  I'm in love with the C110. 😍 Some cool grafts, like the Lancia Jimny (?).

      Turbomachinery engineers. They're just mechanical engineers who generally studied in universities focused on oil and gas, aviation or that had a formula SAE competition team. We have an entire team of them in our engineering department... they geek out over data and performance testing. I worked with them a lot when we developed an anti surge system for centrifugal compressors ran by electrical motors (~20 000-50 000HP) to avoid surging on accidental power loss.  They laugh when I mention automotive turbochargers.... it seems they're lightyear's behind in technology due to poor funding. If you think formula 1 spends a lot of money, a single turbine/centrifugal compressor package in my line of work including the balance of plant equipment generally ranges in the 150-250Million range depending on size.

      The diff brace did not increase NVR at all. And yea the whole reason I thought getting the rear diff brace was a no brainer was because of the reduction in wearing the bushings out + wheel hop. It's a cheap mod for a big cost mitigation in the long run. I bought it for $99 USD + shipping. In regards to the sway bar - i had some over/understeer going on but i just checked my tires and they are pretty worn out. I wont be changing them til july since i'm away for work for a month or so. will sort it when i get back and do more testing. But its definitely still a big thumbs up from me given how planted the car feels now and me being able to go around corners quicker. Still puzzling to me why they never put a LSD into these cars....even the 400z. I saw this mob selling LSD kits for a decent price though it's a little more involved on your part to get it installed: https://www.tractionconcepts.com/Infiniti-Q60-R190-Limited-Slip-LSD-Rear-Conversion-p/tcxin9240.htm

      Great for thrashing on the track - particularly if it is all corners. Otherwise, it is a recipe for massive tyre wear and reduced straight line traction. -1 is plenty for a streeter.

      There are other MAP tapping ports. There's one that runs to the boost gauge MAP sensor on the firewall (over in the corner behind the brake booster). Start at that sensor and follow the hose to the plenum.
