oil R 34 GTT OIL AND WATER TEMPERATURE

[PETEGTT]

HEY ALL, 

I'm new to the scene,  finally a PROUD SKYLINE OWNER !

I hope i'm writing this in the right topic as i'm not much of a forum guy and my English is not the best either.

Now i have been wanting to buy a skyline for the last 15 years at least ( i'm 33 now) i'm from Germany originally and it was an utter fortune to get one over there.

As i made Australia my home now my dream finally came true.

 

So i recently purchased a bargain manual   R34 GT-T , rb 25detneo with 106000-km and its pretty much factory stock.

- Now i'm getting a a high  but steady oil reading at 135c after a few minutes driving (normaly :-D) 

- also the water reading is at 120c (steady)

The engine seams to run super smooth the needle doesn't move in idle,  there are no noises from the engine what so ever.

the oil gauge on the main dash sits less then halfway .

I got a service done after purchase at a trusted mechanic (even though he said he doesn't really know (those cars) ?

the only issue he mentioned was a small oil leak from the O-ring at the Oil-Cooler and also a small oil leak from the engine rocker cover gasket.

 

Now after a lot of research i was hoping to get some input from you guys on what to do.

i have order a new engine rocker cover gasket still trying to find the O-Ring, to get that sorted,  but i'm not shure if that will fix the high readings , should i just go and buy a quality OIL cooler (not the cheap shit)  and maybe a good water-pump?!  

Also can anyone recommend a mechanic with skyline experience in the Sydney area ?

JUST-JAP gave me a number to call  of one of their trusted mechanics but he never seems to pick up the phone :-)

 

Thanks for reading any help would be much appreciated !

Thanks

Pete

Those readings are what you would expect after a hard track session - not just driving down the road. Get a temperature gun and see if the engine is as hot as the gauges suggest - they could be wrong. And persevere with your efforts to get an experienced RB mechanic - the good ones are always busy.

Is this car actually stock?

I saw this behaviour when I had a R34 GTT and someone had replaced the standard triple gauges (in the center) with aftermarket gauges.

However they had just repurposed the OEM wiring and sensors, so all the gauges read incorrectly. Given the car does NOT have a stock temperature gauge that reads (in C) how hot the car is, it makes me wonder if these are aftermarket gauges that are setup incorrectly.

But I definitely remember the oil one - It read very similar numbers to that until I changed the sender to the correct sender.
