Ye maybe - mine sits super low... lol. I dont very high as stated unless its a stinking hot day!

That's using different temp sensors as well just to be certain none of them were stuffing up etc.

do you have your stock under shielding to help (air pressure in the engine bay IIRC), was reading something about this on the Datsun forums where overheating is more of a big deal lol

Nope - its all free underneath mine.

Sounds like your waterpump isn't functioning properly or your radiator is blocked.. When was the last time you had

your cooling system checked and serviced

Waterpump has been checked and is working well. Radiator flushed about a month ago.

Jonno, I'm using a Koyo 50mm aluminum radiator + clutch fan and shroud. After investigating today, I think my clutch fan may be shagged.

Will try another one and see if that helps.

No idea about 33's, but on a 32 the electric fan out the front is an engine exessive temp fan, can't remember when it comes on. You can bridge it to come on with the aircon, but you have to make wiring modifications for that to happen.

The last hot day I was out in mine, I was hitting about the same water temps as Brockas, everything in mine is stock though..

    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
    • Foreshadowing was never so easy.
    • The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
