Hey guys I have come across an issue where I have flushed the motor of my r34 gtt sedan and I have replaced the radiator and thermo but amstill getting to 100 to about 108 110 and I know that its not a good thing but am in the us and do not know what it could possibly be.  its not showing any signs of trouble but I do know it can start evaporating the coolant and mess my motor up please I need some advice.

Do you trust the gauge?

What fan are you using? Does it have the shroud in place?

I do trust the gauge but ive installed an intercooler and do not know where the vac line is supposed to go. Stock fan

No need to panic. Does temperature come down at highway speeds? If so refitting shroud should help in traffic. As suggested search for how to bleed cooling system on RB engines. In the meantime if you are worried turn your heater on full and wind the windows down!

BTW if you are doing water pump that's a good time to do front seal, cambelt, idler and tensioner.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
