Welcome Dino.

Bubba, are you using standard water pump and thermostat on your build?

Yeah standard OEM RB30 water pump (guy I got the bottom end off put a new one on not long before I got it) and I put a standard 76.5deg thermostat in there.

On my last 30 I was running a standard RB20 water pump :thumbsup:

Water pump choice depends on revs, I won't be spinning the thing over 7000rpm so standard pump is fine. If I was a drifter living life between 7000-9000rpm then I would go for an N1 pump.

The thermostat is also fine, our engines are designed to rough at roughly 80deg. I've never been a fan of the lower temp nismo thermostats.. if you need one of those to keep temps down then you have issues elsewhere.

Was supposed to do this on the weekend but got crazy sick.

Only got her a few weeks ago.

The good:

-minimal upgrades, just the usual things like a power fc, fmic, bigger injectors and a fair few suspension mods that make it handle (and feel) like a go kart.

-145k kms

-Quiet for a skyline exhaust

-GTR spoiler

The bad:

-HICAS is dying, need to either fix that or lock it out (probably go for option 2)

-Paint (as you may be able to see) is fading quite bad on the RHS and roof and boot (not spoiler though)

-GTR spoiler

Didn't cost me much so the bad points don't really phase me at all

:)

Yeah was definitely planning on doing that.

Can get a hicas lockout kit for pretty damn cheap (proper whiteline) so will be going down that route.

get rid of it for shore. If you need a hand let me know i would suggest taking it all out (pump and lines) and putting a cooler on the front. those kits usually just block the lines or cycle it back.

    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
    • No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.
    • For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.
    • Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
