The thermostat seems to be playing up. Some mornings it takes AGES for the temp guage to move to the normal position. Then, after in the normal position for a while, the temp shoots right up top, drops back down, and so on. But most of the time the car runs perfectly.

Its not the guage because last week it almost overheated (ie small amount of steam came out from under the bonnet. stopped once I lifted the hood tho.)

Theres also plenty of water/coolant in it so that rules out any leaks.

First of all, does it sound like the thermostat? Secondly, anyone know where to get one from (please say its the same as the RB30!)?

      Just chuck in an ECU, Injectors and a pair of direct fit low mount turbos, that should use to the top of your budget and give it a nice kick along. Also, don't do anything unless you don't need the car daily....if it does blow and you get another 10k bill just to get back to where it is now would you be able to come up with the cash or will it sit for 2 years like most GTRs....

      Thank you 🙏 I'm patient, which is good, considering the limited budget (for now) more so trying to understand where to begin the journey and you and the others have been good with that, appreciate everyone for their input 🫡

      $5-10k isn't much for reliability if your looking at more power for a RB Me, with that much money currently on hand,  I would only look at things to suit future mods, as stated, a fuel pump and ecu would be my first point of call, as well as getting the injectors cleaned and tested, maybe even replace all the coolant hoses After a little time with the tuner, they should be able to tell you how your car is running in relation to things like your ignition, cooling, and other stuff that will be picked up when it has had a few runs up on the dyno and some logs to look at Basically, get everything sorted for reliability before you start leaning on a 30 year old engine Good luck with the one and only true Godzilla, enjoy Note: for your birthday presents, ask your family and friends for lottery tickets, a 32 GTR can cost "all of the money" to make reliable power
