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.

      Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
