thanks to these forums I've fixed my minor problem.

I'm no mechanic.. dnt really touch the parts. only thing I've done myself was fit in a bigger battery when the smaller one shitted itself & fitted in an 040pump all with abit of reading.

so me 32 had a problem, not too major, but i was putting 2&2 together with countless hrs of reading.

a drive usually on a warm day or not, with a little bit of giving but never too much, would see my water temps rise and sit above 180+ and nearly approaching 200-220+ with a more give. there were a few occasions where to point the coolant reservoir was spitting out.

so, bought me a new 40mm alloy radiator/hd hoses, nismo low temp thermo & greddy cap. I was also due for a timing belt service so I got me a gtst 100k timing belt kit from Kudos Motorsports/upgraded belt to gates & got the added water pump with it. (was thinkn the N1 but =/) I thought I may aswell do these 2 upgrades the same time together.

props to kudosmotorsport.com for timing belt kit/thermo∩ & jjr for the radiator&hose.

wow @ kudos for their service & delivery.

that done n. dusted, I can give this thing xtra more push :) and not see the water temp rise above 150-160 or 65-71 degrees whatever the weather

thanks yew guys <3 & fanks to my bud for giving me the time to fit these in.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!

      If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
