SWEET!!! Were you one of the new guys in on the induction?

That would be me I work there.

DAMN!!

Saw a Black 34 on Ashley drive on my way home from work yesterday evening around 5-ish. waves exchanged........ Awesome looking car dude.

not really it just likes to sit on or just above that line. could be the oil i'm using.

Just out of curiousity Pat, what does your oil temp reach when driving normally (before you were having this prob) It's just that mine is stable now but it settles in at around 92 degrees which is still slightly higher than i'd like it to be..

I just went to Phillip radiator service and got a brand new GTR radiator (Core is twice the size of standard) and it was around $270. i would have done a little shopping first but it was between Chrissy and new years so many places were closed and i needed to get it sorted quickly.

Thanks guys, all sorted. i put a bigger better radiator in and it's been fine since. noticed a slight leak from the water pump too and installed a new one last week. Now it's purring like a kitten again

Maybe, but i changed the thermostat just under a year ago. it seems whatever it is, is causing the oil temp to go up first.. It's probably worth mentioning that there is was a couple of little backfires from the exhaust while the car was warming up before i left the house. maybe need to check the plugs...?

Hey guys, just throwing this out there because i'm not sure what to do. Just before Christmas i was driving home from work and my water temp gauge started spiking above normal along with my oil temp gauge with went just over 100 degrees. i thought maybe the coolant or oil had run a bit dry and it was around 7000 k's since i did the last service, so i serviced it again, new oil, filter and coolant. and all seemed fine again. except i just got home from my brothers place and it's happened again. the water temp stays good for a while as the oil temp slowly creeps higher and higher even just cruising at 80kph then when the oil temp gets just over 100 the water temp spikes.... Could this be a turbo problem maybe? Any ideas, or possible things to check would appreciated. Thanks.

Spotted James on the way home from work. waving like a looney and driving a Hyundai weird.

all good man. nice 32

been here all my life. and i've had BIG BIRD (my yellow Skyrine) for about a year now.

That would have been me too, sorry, must have missed you.

hey, that was me, i waved but it was at the last moment so i didn't think you noticed.

Enjoy yo'self.. Its a celebration!!!!

Hahaha. That is most certainly NOT how i roll

awesome... Thats a WIN!!!!!

uhhh no. Why do you ask? was my car that dirty... lol

That would be me Trying to find a parking spot in manuka on a saturday night......

Spotted a grey R34 Gtt on my way to work this morning on drakeford drive, with white alloys and a SAU sticker on the quarter window. very tidy..

I might be interested in this. Depends on how my money situation is in a couple of weeks

Agree with Sin. If he has a genuine interest in mechanics then make sure he doesn't do an apprenticeship at a dealership otherwise he'll quickly lose that interest. private shops are the way to go, but there are some bad ones out there.

I'll be out at the park in about 30 minutes

Oh hai shell
