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!

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
