Hi guys

I changed my coolant since the old water was rusty as sh!t. i put in the coolant stuff blead the system and now the temp when driving sits at over 90 on my power fc. The needle doesn't go up above half way on the dash but still it makes me worried.

What's the proper way to blead the gtr coolant lines and is there something else i need to do??

and also my heater is no where near as hot as it usually is when i have it on 32 degrees

i have taken out the water lines that run to my heater core and tried to run water through it. but it's not flowing through.

i have stuck the hose in it and it seems like it's completlly blocked. so am i doing it wrong or is there something that i need to do to make it run through???

any help would be great

Cheers anthony

By the sound of it you have moved a big chunk of rust, try reverse flushing your heater, with any luck it will push it back out the way it came.

Also if the water is that rusty you need to flush the radiator with a hose for ages, mine would flow clean water and then you put the hose in the other end and more rusty water would come out, once it gets bad its pretty hard to fix 100%.

As for bleeding, not sure about a gtr but on the gtst there is a little 10mm bolt that sits just above the manifold, you undo that and keep filling for a while til there are no more air bubbles coming out, i use a cut down coke bottle to get a bit more pressure in to it.

Ok Guy's just an update

the heater is getting hot only after you hold the heat button for like 5 sec so it's on full hot otherwise it stay's fairlly cool

i've now bleed the system for about 30 mins and it's still getting above 90 degrees i really need some help here

i can here the aircon fan turn on above 90 so i'm guessing the power fc controller is not regestering the wrong temp since even at 95 degrees the temp needle on the dash is still only on half way.

some one please please help.

Cheers

anthony

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
