Hey everyone, I've been searching around on the forum, but have only managed to find bits and pieces on the topic but anyway,
I have an R34 GT-T with a GTR MFD on it, and I was just wondering what temperatures I should be reading when driving normally, and when under boost for the following things:

Oil temp, water temp, exhaust temp, and, intercooler temp.

Basically what temperatures are safe, and what's not. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it specifically.

Thanks!

Yup. And my oil temp runs very close to water temp most of the time, although will climb above 100 in traffic, on really hot days and/or if I'm giving it some treatment.

My exhaust temp, pre-turbo, is about 500°C cruising, up to 900°C when absolutely caning it, with intermediate load levels coming in at the temperatures in between.

Okay cool, 90 degrees sounds like the norm for neo engines then.
From what I was reading earlier most people were below 90, so that had me worried a bit. So cheers for that!

Anyone know about the intercooler temperatures though?

Right, well. Keep in mind that the temperature rise on the turbo (if running efficiently) at 1 bar is about 100°C. This goes on top of ambient temp. So your intercooler inlet T is probably 75°C or so. That cooler is probably well big enough to drop most of the heat out of teh charge air even on a decent 3rd gear pull to redline, so you'd probably see 30°C or so at the outlet.

But it's as rough as guts talking about this stuff because it depends so much on the ambient temperature, how well ducted the cooler (external) air flow is, the mass of the cooler vs the power level being run, etc etc.

Okay yeah that would make sense, when I drive it around I see cooler temps of 40-58 on a warmish day, so I guess that's completely normal too.
I'll take it out for a bit tonight when the air is a bit colder and see what it's like then.

Cheers for that though!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
