R33 Thermostat


Recommended Posts

Guy's follow the bottom radiator hose up to where it joins the motor,,,thats the stat cover,,,3 bolts from memory.

The stat is the same as a VL 3.0L,,,Nissan Part No is 21200-42L05 and it fits all R33's.

ok guys, there are a few things to know here:

firstly for the money and time saving just get a genuine nissan one from nissan parts. they are around $50-60.

second, if you want a 'tridon' one...the part number is TT268-170. this is the 77deg one. there is an 85 deg one...dont get this!

lastly if you want to waste money, get the nismo one but these are over $100 if not closer to $150 and open at 67 or so deg.

you will also need gasket goo for this as there is not a norml gasket there. i use the blue stuff...works perfect!

bellow i attached instructions from the RB engine manual.

view order 3 then 1 then 2. (sorry i didnt rename)

as the above people have said use either the tridon or stnd nissan one.

tridon will set you back about $28 and its one of the good cheapies.

make sure the jiggle pin is pointing to the top of the motor.

for gasket sealent i recomend a product from loctight.

Its a silicone based gasket goo, its loctight blue something or other.

It's the ducks nuts, will come in handy down the track to.

let us know how you go.

was reading a thread recently and a workshop operator said he'd been through a bunch of tridon thermostats that were crap, and caused problems.

just use the nissan one. also there is no reason to use a lower temperature it will NOT help you, it just means your car won't get up to temp and you'll lose fuel efficiency.

hi guys on my r33 gtst 1993 it has a braided cable that runs down threw the chassis and comes out next to the exhaust, and theres something that attaches to that which im not sure what it is or where to get another one because i scraped going over a speed hump and its pulled it out and stuffed it and i think its shorting out, my thermostat light is staying on and check engine also comes on itermitently. Any help on where i can get another one of these, and or what it is would be good cheers

Disconnect it, it's useless. Pull out your passenger seat and delete that sensor

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
