LOL @ macka...

Grey - the green shite from marlows is spot on stuff.. good enough for our applications.. well it works fine for ma - and have a look at my avitar for my normal R33 application..

[Grey skys]

I wish my normal driving looked like that!Cam are you using the green stuff atm? If so how high does your temp gauge go?

cheers Jon

[caminperth]

Yea - usin the green stuff. Zanda is using it too. Temp guage stays in the normal range, never goes past it, even in hard driving situations.

[macka]

Seriously now

I dont think theres alot of difference

What u want is the fluid with the best anti corrosion properties. The fact that it stays cool is relying mainly on pressure in your system not the type of coolant u use...I think most coolants are pretty good altho the cheaper ones are prolly watered down too much

Buy 2x 5 litre containers i think that wil be enough even buy 3 u always need some spare and its a big no no to top coolant up with different brands so there u go..U already have some leftover

and now macka!

just buy some coolant and change it. its like oil, people will argue all day about which stuff is better. just buy whatever colour you like, and as long as your radiator aint clogged up with brown sludge itll be fine

Adam, He must be taking after you, lots of advice and no action:shake:

I have the green Tectaloy stuff in my car.... meh. coolant is coolant i say..

macka, add another mofo to that list...

[stooj]

when u flush a cooling system properly, u need a special flushing gun air compressor and a hose, u also should take out the thermostat for a proper job

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Stooj, My point exactly, but for most people flushing it with a hose will work fine:D

[stooj]

yeh just depends how long ago it was properly flush , you should change ur coolant once a year and do a proper reverse flush every 2 years if i remeber rightly

[adam 32]

ill admit i havent done a V8 twin turbo lexus conversion, but i do my fair share of activity

[caminperth]

Next time John might bring the coolant so we can do it..

:stir:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Cam, I think we'd need access to a hose to try and flush it as best we can, might be something better done at someones house.

[caminperth]

Well they wanted to use the hydrant on me.. whats good enough for me should be good enough for the car..

Point taken. Am thinking of a limited numbers group for garage Malaga. Timing and feasibility to be discussed with the owner soon...

[GTS-t VSPEC]

LOL @ Cam, Sounds like a plan:D

[puckish]

Tecalloy stuff is good. Tried and tested with no problems. And it's cheap... but not blue.

Nissan recommend softwater and LLC (Long Life Coolant) for their Alloy heads.

Presonally I've never used the stuff.
