Hey, i replaced my clutch fan yesterday for my R33 N/A it seized. To get it out i had to remove the top hose connecting to the radiator, so i did that a bit coolant came out, i reconnected the hose and topped it up. The car is now overheating, when idle it keeps going up i stop at 90 degrees and turn the car off, while driving it goes back down to 80 like normal, and when the radiator cap is off it doesnt overheat either.

For a few minutes i bled the radiator of air bubbles saw a few came out then stopped. Today i turned on the car and it kept rising again. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Thanks

probably to do with the new clutch fan you put in. go for a drive on a bit of highway/motorway. if the temp is ok at highway speed then you know it's the fan.

but either way, 90 degrees isn't that high. to put that in perspective, one of the thermos in the missus SSS doesn't come on until 100 degrees (set that way from factory). pretty sure the thermos don't kick in on my commodore until about 95 as well.

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
