have a look in the radiator, if there the level in there is fine (down around 1-2cm) then just top it up with distilled water and the same with the over flow tank.

Yeah pretty sure the radiator is fairly full as I only checked the coolant a month or so ago and the overflow bottle still had something in it, just over the last few weeks it must have used the rest up.

So don't even top up the overflow with coolant, just use water?

You can top it up with coolant if your 100% sure that you have the same brand and make of coolant that is already in the engine. If you mix active ingredients there is a chance that they can react and will turn to jelly, which isn't a good thing the have in your water jackets. Water is a safe option if your not sure since you are going to be changing it soon.

Thanks mate.

EDIT- If it just so happens to turn to jelly, what would I do about it? Just flush the radiator?

i missed pendulum to see lupe, was still amazing but yeh prodigy was insane, like 15,000 people all going nuts when the bassline hit for smack my bitch up

+1 eye candy.

pendulum were good.

but I thought prodigy were kinda average to be honest.

They talked way too much shit instead of letting their good tunes do the work.

Some of the nice sounds and basslines were spoilt because of the stupid screaming etc they were doing.

good day out tho... :P

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
