  1. Should i bother draining water just from the radiator and keep doing it every few days til the drained water looks cleaner? Thanks
  2. Fixed. Fan hub was the culprit. Btw i might not have noticed but Running without thermostat i was getting 65 degrees during cruise! Now using a standard oem thermostat averaging at 82 degrees . Shouldn't it be at 76 ish? never take notice on water temp til i had this issue lol.
  3. Do i need to be precise with the figures ? Or just roughly? I am using an ancient ecu though if that helps... kinda regret getting this nismo. Bloody hell why did i not do my research before buying. ..
  4. I might use it since i have a Tunable ecu...
  5. Yeah we did remove and check water pump too. Still looks good.
  6. I take it that applies to all ecu ?
  7. Got bad news. Apparently idiot seller suddenly told me my nismo stat is ready to be shipped so can't cancel it. Is it really bad for a street driven car? Its not my daily but when i drive it , i usually drive it hard... who doesn't?
  8. Btw... since in not using a thermostat at the moment. .. assuming the fan clutch is working fine. .. will the water temp reading be at the usual "okay" reading? I'm curious with this one. .. Just got back from a high way cruise doing hard pulls now and then and can confirm temp did went down. I also notice if i turn on the air conditioner the temp will rise a little faster when driving slowly... Safe to say my issue is the fan hub?
  9. 30,000 km... so i would have thought that its still clean just the usual rust inside. ..
  10. Anyone knows the part number for oem thermostat? Also... is a radiator easily blocked? I've only used it for less than 30k mileage. And thing is i didn't use coolant back then -_- but since this issue, the mechanic has flushed it 3 times after every trouble shooting. Water is getting cleaner though. .. planning to flush it another 2 times or so before putting in coolant. ..
  11. Hi all. Need some feedback with my heating issue. Few days ago, i finally get to drive my car after about 14 weeks. So i noticed temp was ok during spirited drives. Temp slowly climbed up during stop and go traffic. I stopped by a shop to get me a bottle of water to top up radiator. I knew its going to be a long wait before I could open the radiator so decided to tow it back home. So next day decided to top up radiator and to my surprised its full. (Using a trust radiator btw) So now I'm not using a thermostat (mechanic saw thermo was a bit worn) and have replaced the clutch fan with a used one. .. and still temperature is rising ONLY when not driving. I'm hoping my problem is due to the clutch fan hub? Have ordered nismo thermostat for now. I thought I'll ask around for feedback/experiences. Thanks!
  12. Thanks. I thought so too but if it's the other way round its no issue right? Since without the plug its not running any quicker?
  13. Guys, Let's say the vtc plug wasn't connected during a tune... does the car require a retune if u connect the vtc plug?
  14. Just got myself re003 all 4 because i wanted it to last a little longer. .. we'll see. ..
  15. Just found out that my friend cut the rubber hose and not the metal lines. .. front 1 was corroded as fark had to sent it to a machine shop to remove. .. got all this sorted. .thanks all for the help! [emoji2]
  16. Still heaps better than NA brakes i reckon. .. lol
  17. Thanks guys. .. appreciate the help. .. wish i went with gktech right from the beginning so i won't have this issue. .. sigh...
  18. f**k me...my friend cut all of that off when removing calipers. .. [emoji21] what are my other options? Anyone knows if the gktech ones will fit?
  19. Ok thanks guys. I'll go have a look. Hopefully its still dangling in the car or something ...
  20. Is that one like an adapter of some sort? My friend was the one removing the calipers so i have no clue other than i imagine it being a connection for the line to fit into the caliper?
  21. Hi need help. Apparently the nismo brake lines won't fit the turbo calipers. Or am i doing something wrong or bought something wrong?
  22. Any of you mix tyres? Different brands and size front and rear. Is it advisable? I was looking into 255/35 rear and 235/40 front because 255 will not clear the front... Dumb move?
  23. I initially wanted re003 as i think the re003 would last longer than the re71r... plus maybe the re003 would be better on the wet too compared to the re71r... then again i think the tread wear rating for both are 200 and 210 respectively so not much difference. (I could be wrong) but thanks for the feedback! Might really look into it. ..
