Temp gauge not moving has nothing to do with anything here.

The heat exchanger is not repairable. That means replace or remove. Replacement is better than removal, but I don't know if you can buy new ones or if you'd have to scrounge a 2nd hand one.

Are you 100% sure on the heat exchanger? I've had it mixing on a car before and replaced the oring in the back (after you take off that 19mm bolt or whatever it is on the rear) and had no issues after.

Well, a failed o-ring is not the same thing as the HX itself failing. The HX corrodes when dickheads don't change the coolant, allowing it to become nicely acidic.

The bolt is on the HX.

1 year n only done 8k km!!

When I bought the car I did a major service n flushed out the coolant twice to get it clean plus a new radiator!! So I do look after my car GTSBOY n don't be a dickhead!!

Don't think he is being a dickhead as he is stating why the seal or heat exchanger corrodes. You say you had to flush the coolant a few times and the radiator was stuffed so its fair to say coolant maintenance wasn't performed for some time before you purchased it.

So if comp is good I would be looking at what GTSBOY suggests, good luck.

Yeah, screw you dickhead. Like you're the first and only owner! How many Japanese owners ever change coolant? Answer....almost none. Your car was potentially on it's way to HX death before it even left Japan. Like everyone else's.

I think u are a bit delusional Lethal26. You got sound advice and yes the previous owners were dickheads and didn't look after the cooling system, all too common. You need to calm your farm as no one was insulting you.

Also with that in mind, have you done all the other fluids, diff, gearbox, brakes fluid etc, because if not I would be changing all of it seeing the coolant was that bad.

Just a bit of advice that's all, good luck.

sorry guys i'm not here to start something... my apologies!! XGTRX yes i did i change all the fluids n thanks for the advice i appreciate it!!

Ben c34 yeh the car seem good oh well shit happens n nah i'm not!!

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
