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...

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
