cool thanks for that... i think that job is a little passed my knowledge, so i might have to look into getting it done bysomeone....

ok further info !! was doing a little more work on the car today !! took it for a drive !! still doesnt seem to be much pressure in the radiator hoses?? car is running fine !1 ideling fine, but AFTER ABOUT 30 MINS OF DRIVEING the heat started to rise !! the overflow keeps filling to the stage where its about to overflow?? im starting to get worried... its starting to look like the waterpump i think?? if so how much is a good estimate for the pump and work ?? anyhelp would be benifical

no i havent !!! expensive job??

ok the coolant isnt staying constant, it builds up in the overflow, and ends up being like 2 inches hight then it was b4 driving it !! im not driveing iit to the stage of it over heating !! just been taking it on test drives ....

ok, but if it was the water pump wouldnt the car idle differntly? ot would the cur run differently? cause the car still kicks well

100k and if it overheats without the thermostat what would that suggest?

yea bleed the system !! god taking the f**ker out will be annoying .....

hey thanks for the reply, air flow bottle? coolant seems to be staying level now, and yes the thermostat is thew correct one and its in the same way the other one came out !! im hopeing it isnt the water pump... could that also be it !! and i was planning on doing the water temp sensor on the weekend.

my r33 had the same problem, and all it was, was it needed a small amount of powersteering fluid.... so im not sute who is right !! but im still sure they all have fluid int he engin bay .... might only need a touch of fluid thou !! very toutch system

ps... probably should tel u that its a r33 GTST

yesterday i changed the upper and lower radiator hoses(very old) the radiator cap and the thermostat.... took it for a drive and thrashed it a little !! but the car still seened to be getting quiet hot ...... and after i unplugged the heat sensor and put it bak in the heat said half in the guage,,,, something is a miss and i just cant figure it out !! sensor? head? and there doesnt seem to be a build up of pressure on the hoses?? me is a little lost .... have i done something wrong ??

little help????

P.S yesterday i changed the upper and lower radiator hoses(very old) the radiator cap and the thermostat.... took it for a drive and thrashed it a little !! still said it was getting hot...... and after i unplugged the heat sensor and put it bak in the heat said half in the guage,,,, sometyhing is a miss and i just cant figure it out !! sensor? head? me is a little lost ....

So i used a gasket glue on the thermostat? the problem hasnt changed !! but the old thermostat was wrecked... have a feeling the water temp meter is gone !! going to replace that in the hope that it stops gwtting to hot !! thanks for the advice

ok pulled out the old thermostat, and it seens as thou a gaskey had come out !!! but the thing is the new thermostat fits flush with the slot??? was this an actually gasket or was it some old gasket glue?? if there was a gasket wouldnt it have come with the new thermostat?

ok more help..... is there actually a gasket?? on the thermostat. ? because it fits flush without one ????

hey guys !! one last one !! just about to head out soon and do the work !! will u need gasket glue??? when i put the new thermostst??

thanks mate

ok guys !! just a quick one !! the thermostst is sitiated unter the intake of the lower radiator hose right ?? just thought id ask by i go looking for it tommorow... thanks ....

did the pressure flush push any crap out of the radiator??

You shouldnt have showed me that site !! now i want a whole new radIATOR HAHAHAHAH

hey mate, hot many kms has the car done??

oh another question !! a thermostat, how much u think ?? i had a look and a nismo ine was about $150... i thought they were about 50 - 70$

cool !! ill do that on the weekend, ill do the hoses and the thermostat, and then and only then ill have to get it look at by someone !! so ill do another minor flush and do those couple things, fingers crossed, thanks for the advice, ill let u know if any changes occur.
