who pushes their cars on hot days anyways >.< i know i never do... i dont really notice much difference when your just casual driving.

I do. Tho my car is a street car only, I still have cooling modifications (oil, water)... the extra heat really only kills you at the track, during street driving the most hot weather does is reduce the efficiency of combustion due to higher air temps.... just remember, the engine gets hot from the combusion inside it which always exceeds the ambient temperature around it.... provided you have enough heat exchange with your radiator and possible oil cooler, you shouldn't have any issues. There is a power loss on hot days (aircon being one but ability for intercooler to chill the air being another) but in street driving all you gotta do is give it a bit more revs to compensate and everythings fine...

Car has never overheated yet, but having said that I did recently upgrade to an ISC radiator and N1 water pump, new hoses and new nissan glycol based coolant. Already noticed a very slight drop in temperature in average daily driving but haven't yet driven it it 40'c+ weather - I'm sure they'll both cope :sick:

Caveat - If you spend your 'street' driving around 6000-7000 rpm then yeah u might have issues ;P
