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 been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
