now $600 for injectors !

champion, thanks !

oh, so its nowhere near the top radiator hose right... whats that housing look like that i gotta undo ?

hey guys, My car is overheating everytime it warms up, i flushed the coolant etc and still the same.... I took off the top radiator hose on the block end cause that where i thought the thermostat was but i cant see it, anyone have any idea where i get to it? thanks

about 6 month use, only taken out coz going back to standard.

none of those brand, some generic type i guess, they are decent thinkness.

Im running hks2540, looks stock, cops never pick on it, its the way to go, it even passed epa full emissions test with the factory heat shield on and everything else standard ) What do you need to change in a skyline to get it running on E85 guys? is it worth doing?

hey, for sales are: New R32-34 GTR Radiator silicone hose kit (blue) - $50 R33 gtst Xforce 3" catback, its quite loud and makes great power - $300 or swap for a quiet 3" catback Sard 550cc injectors for rb25det (with collars), high impedance, part number 63500 - $650 R33 gtst stock radiator, needs a good clean, no leaks - $40

well it should lower operating temp of the car which should make it more efficient and as skylines tend to run very hot it should be an advantage? operating temp might be lowered be around 5-10C and i dont see how that could harm the car?

Old topic I know...but since my cooling system if filthy as hell I decided to replace some of the old gear for: New radiator silcone hoses ASI 42mm aluminium radiator Low temp thermostat (62C) also keeping the stock clutch fan for now, is this a good improvement for my car?

Oh i see, so I gotta pull that thermostat out before flushing the bkock to sort of unplug the block in a way? Also how can I tell the condition of the thermostat?, might as well replace it while im at it if need be... much appreciated, tom

where is the thermo stat and whats it look like? you mean put a hose into the top radiator hose? so many questons, by its my first coolant change ever haha!

Yea exactly , I was considering this aluminium radiator Ebay job which is meant to be a direct fit, u think its worth it?: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT If I was to get that, at which stage do I install it, first do the flushes and block cleaning as explained above with the old radiator still on and then chuck on the new one right? tom

ok instead of having it pour of the radiator top and making a big mess can i just undo the bottom radiator hose so it can all flush out from there? also u during the flushing process is the engine on or off? thanks heaps!

Yea Im totally aware of not putting cold water to a hot engine issue. So maybe the first few flushes ill do with just water and say the last two ill do with some cheap coolant premix so that at the end of all the flushings I'll end up with coolant in the block, right? and then on the final coolant fill I'll put in the 100 grade stuff and should all even out?

Yea thats the slow and painfull process haha, I was thinking of a way to flush the block somehow without undoing the block drain plug.... hmmm Doesn't tap water cororde the engine, radiator etc..? I was told to only use distilled water....

Yea my coolant is embarrysingly filthy so draining the radiator is not enough as it only takes about 2.5L and the whole system carries 8.3L so therefore the block needs to be drained too, I've been reading quite a bit on all this and the drain plug for the block is a mission impossible so Im just thinking about other ways to flush the block. Anyway i spoke to a guy at repco and he didnt recomment to do what I described in my first post as the coolant (mud in my car) has a lot of pathways throught the engine and something could get clogged up, he recommended that I do two radiator flushes with the cleaning stuff or until the water becomes clear..... Whats your opinion ?

I have no idea where the heater hose is..? im a bit confused, you're saying disconnect that heater hose and take off the radiator cap and then flush with a garden hose where the cap goes? keep both bottom and top main radiator hoses attached? engine running or off?

hey guys, I need to flush coolant from my rb25det and I been reading that to get to the drain plug its the biggest bitch, so would this work instead: Unplug bottom and top radiator hoses and drainer the radiator Assuming the bottom hose is the return and the top is feed to the engine, on a fully cold motor start ouring distilled water with a funnel into the top hose that's connected to the water inlet manifold and the block and run the motor for about 30 seconds, that way shit should come out out of the bottom return hose right? any advice would be great, Tom

so simply disconnect bottom and top radiator hoses and stick a garden hose into the engine where the top radiator hose connects? with the motor off or on ? cheers

those pics dont work...

PRICE DROP: $650

Ok, why the 4.5" cat? cant i just retain my 3" high flow cat?
