  4. theres not enough profit in rebuilding them thats why they wont do it . we wont recon them where i work and we are reluctant to fit 2nd hand ones customers supply there made fully aware that there is no comback if it fails . however we try to look after them with a good price on a new one when possiable . plus as someone has said parts for some of the stuff is really hard to come by

  20. whooo hoooo all fixed took it for a spin today up the hills with the aircon on it's another stinking hot day in adelaide and the needle sat a fraction just under half and did not move at all . cleaned out rad and new top tank . new thermostate . flush all old coolent out and replace with new total cost around 200 bucks . im as happy as a pig in poo . found the problem in my sons car why his overheated it has split the turbo water line behind the head looks loke a prick to get at and fix . bugga he can wait till the weather cools down lol mines fixed thats the main thing lol cheers mid life crisis
  21. hopefully have fixed my overheating probs will find out when i put the rad back in the car on the weekend . took my rad to work and sent it of to the guys that do our rads for our work . turns out it was about 40% blocked and the top tank wasent the best adding to that my thermostat was not working properly hardly operning in a boiling saucepan of water hopefully it's sorted . on the other hand tonight my sons r33 looks like it has blown a hose behind the head somewhere will bring the pressure tester home from work tommorow and see what going on there . this hot weather in adelaide is taking its toll atm . we have so many people phoning and driving off the street for aircon regass it's running us off our feet good for the boss i supose tho lol
  22. my mrs had a v6 camry she brought it new and it had only done 120.000 ks in about 10 yrs she babied this thing when a service was due it went in right on the knocker, i was lucky to even get a drive of it after been together a few weeks i said how about i take ya for a nice drive in the hills in your car . end result it thru a rod thru the sump dumped all the engine oil onto the hot cat and presto one crispy fried camry on the side of the road lol . all is forgiven we are still together 4 yrs later
  23. i think you need to talk to the builder dont get agro or nasty just explain your concerns and see what happens . if you go in full of agro you wont get half as far it may not even be the builders fault iit maybe a faulty o ring on the filter or something really simple .and if you go in full of agro it will only make you look like a tosser atm its only a oil leak its not like its thrown a rod thru the block just beat by the post above
  24. cheers for that gary i thought if i got one that opened a bit earlier it might help with my cars prob of running to hot in hilly areas on 40 deg plus days . how ever i just pulled my old one out and stuck it in a saucepan on the stove it did fully open but the water was almost boiling b4 it started to move at all . so i suspect the one thats in there is not playing the game right atm it is a standed nissan one 76.5 so i think i will replace it with the same type as the one i just pulled out thanks for your advice cheers dean
  25. 150 bucks is far to dear for a 62 deg thermostate just cause its got a nismo sticker on im not paying for wank value . im sure there are other 62 deg thermo made by other companys that will work exactley the same . i dont see nismo thermostates stuck in every nissan ever made. i will go thru the catalogs from our suppliers when im at the workshop next
