Hi guys,

I have had some overheating problems with my car, looks like it is a cracked head.

Anyone have any suggestions where I can purchase a new head from ?

I have looked at http://www.infinitipartsusa.com does any know if the heads for the 03 G35 will suite my 02 V35? Link Here

Thanks!

Wycky

Are you sure its a cracked head? These cars are a bitch to bleed when it comes to the cooling system as the V6 config block holds a lot of air in pockets. I had to bleed mine 5 or 6 times to stop air lock problems to the stage I thought the water pump was stuffed.

If it really is the head I have a spare here I may not need...

My mechanic says its the head, and he has bled it a quite few times.

About a year ago my car over heated due to the thermostat playing up and it split my radiator, I have replaced the thermostat and radiator but ever since the car would sometime over heat a little ( i didn't drive much had a company car at the time) but now I am driving it all the time it is getting much worse.

So I am assuming that when it overheated the first time the head cracked....

How much would you like for the head? send me a pm if you like, I am going to need 2 because we don't know which head is cracked.

      Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science

      Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue

      These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which.

      Fourth gear grind

      I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
