From memory thats seems fine on a hot day as my car can get to those temps too. + it depends if you run your A/C or driving up a hill, anything that requires the car to be rev'd alittle harder with effect the temps. Again its normal.

Normal crusing temps are just under 90 degrees.

From my understanding, the R34 GTR's seem to hold quite a consistant temp, even with a bit of a fang.

My friend Tim GTR on SAU has a R34 GTR V-Spec, I took it out for a run, hammered it down the straight and a few corners, then check the MFD with the oil and water temps and they seem stable and yes within that range from about 91 to 98, I think it sat at about 93 degrees C.

What engine oil you using?

So yeah your using the very good oils and fluids which is fine.

Other then the radiator flush (which you have done), the only other thing I can suggest you get check out by your mechanic is your water pump... But should be fine still...

If anyone else can recommend anything, please do.

Overall I think you just pushed it quite hard and the harder you push the car the higher the temps go, again normal.

So nothing to worry about.

How about you take your car out tonight when its a lot cooler, give it a bit of a 'fang' and check the temps again... Atmospharic temps can effect the car too.

it could be one of the 'cold region' GTR's. My 33 was one also (it actually said it in the FAST details), and I needed to change the thermostat and it brought it right down to running normal at between 78 and 82 degrees, on a fang, up to 85 degrees water.

Not sure about the oil at the moment as my apexi gauge is playing up and reading like 120 to 140 at the moment, but when working properly I never saw it over 90ish. The dash gauge sits at roughly 80 to 90 all the time but does move. (I know the Apexi is messing around because it hits 60 straight away upon start up and about 120 within 5 mins of driving where as the dash gauge has just started to move at that point)

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
