Making your dash look like an xmas tree (or "Radiator Problem!")

Was heading along the freeway today (about to zoom thru the toll gates) when:

Engine turned off

Brake booster stopped

Power Steering Assistance stopped

Thousands of dashboard lights came on

And best off all, the temp guage made it all the way to "H"

Anyway, to cut a short story long, turns out I've got a leak in the radiator, coolant left its home *very* quickly, car got very hot and engine decided to have a sleep to look after itself.

Also, it looks like a green blooded alien fell into the fan - theres coolant everywhere!

Car's in for a radiator pressure test and replacement core (hopefully).

Just thought I'd share, it was an ugly looking situation but pretty easy problem in the end.

Hard luck Duncan, but if it hasn't been hit with anything, i'd be taking it back!!! seems wierd that she got to hot, i was at wakefield a awhile back and somehow had nearly the entire contents of my radiator sprayed throughout the engine bay and half way down the side of the car!!! Didn't know this til i came back in, was cooling her down when i noticed that it didn't go down below 3/4, SLOWLY put about 3 or so litres of water in it, all fixed and temp went down, but never had and problems since then!!! WIERD.......

      Pillar gauges

      By MBS206 · Posted

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
