Hey Guys,

Just wondering what the normal oil and water temps those of you with R33 GTST's are getting, especially with a Front Mount Intercooler.

My oil is around the 80-90 degrees, and water is around the 85-95 degrees on normal daily driving. Freeway driving they are lower, oil at 75-85 and water 80-90 Just wondering what you are getting. Is over 100 bad for water (ie boiling)?

I'm a bit concerned that these temps are a little high. Both water and oil temp gauges are after market. The oil temp sensor replaces the sump plug, and the water temp sensor is in the pipe that goes to the top of the radiator which i think is the return pipe so i kind of expect it to be hotter than the 76 degrees the thermostat opens at.

Just thought i'd see what others are getting.

Cheers,

Andrew

from my understanding coolant added to water makes the boiling point rise to somewhere like 110 - 122 degrees celcius. Prolly go even higher due to the fact its a pressurized system.

The oil i have heard turns to water basically at 140deg celcius b4 engine damage starts....

hope that helps :)

My Greddy's are the same as GiJor33's, and my exhaust normal driving 600' C, bringing the turbo on, 800' C, sticking it into it, 900' C max. Round town down as low as 300' C.

Oil pressure up to 6.5, but flickers with the revs heaps.

Sounds about the same as my oil temps.

This is what I've found;

Stock car (no FMIC, normal clutch fan) around 70 degrees,

Installed the FMIC, temps now around high 70's (~78),

Installed the thermo fan, temps up about another 5 degrees.

Sooo, mine sits at aroun 85 degrees with the FMIC and thermo fan.

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
