Hi Guys,
I'm trying to find out why my car is running higher than normal oil temps.
Cruising on the freeway in will go to 110c
Going on a mountain run it may hit 120-130c.
I've never noticed it go up this high until the last few months.
After speaking to another R34 GTT owner on the weekend his temps were about 90c on freeway and 100c on a hard mountain run.
Which seem about normal.
R34 GTT Mods:
Turbo back exhaust
Nistune
HDI Intercooler (Lightly sprayed black with a thin coat)
Walbro fuel pump
Boost T @ 12psi
150,000km
200rwkw
I use Motul 8100 5w 40. Recently did a oil and filter change with no change in temps. Coolant recently flushed and at appropiate level.
Water temps hard to tell with factory gauge as always sits in the middle.
Rather than going down the route of a thicker oil or oil cooler, I would rather like to find the source of the problem rather than mask it.
Any thoughts or input appreciated.
