hi guys,

lately i have been driving my R32 GTR to work and i have noticed the temp getting up close to 90 when just cruising.

i am a bit concerned as its not summer yet and 75% of the journey is cruising at 90-100km/h.

the oil i use is motul 300V and my car is pretty stock except for the usual things.

anyway if sum1 could let me know what a GTRs normal cruising temp is that would be great.

if this is running a little high as i think it mite be what could it be? and how can i fix it?

thanks for your help!

Regardless of the temps, itd be a good idea to give the cooling system a flush and thorough clean if its been a while since the last one. Especially when summer isnt too far away.

90 degrees in winter does seem a little high. Mine is closer to 82 degrees in colder weather. In perth summer i can get up to 92 degrees and thats with the air con on full!

thanks for the help fellas.

i will definitely give it a flush and change the coolant. i was already thinking that would be a good idea.

what i felt was strange was that it maintained this temp on highway cruising.

anyway il let u know how it goes when i change the coolant and give it a good flush

    • Por qué no los dos? Body colour red with black stripes down centre, onto bonnet and bootlid.
    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
