hey guys i need help..........

i have had a front mount installed recently and since then i have had over heating problems....

the radiator was cleaned out the other day (was 80% blocked) and the thermostat has been changed yet still it heats up...............

tends to only get hot after around 30-40min and worse when going up long hills............

any help or ideas would be appreciated guys thanks

If the radiator has just been flushed and there are no issues with fluid leaks. then it is possible that due to the intercooler taking the majority of the coldest air the radiator is no longer getting sufficient airflow. Actually not really airflow just that the air it is now receiving will be hotter as the intercooler has first dibs on the coolest air. A bigger radiator could solve this problem.

like others have said, it wud be ur front mount - since that is what u installed prior to overheating...

-u cud try adding spacers to the bonnet to lift it up slightly for better flow through the engine

-bonnet vents

-bigger radiator

-a non-restrictive front grill and/or front bar (vents and holes etc)

-more fans

-better coolant.

    • Evening fam, Pretty much what the title asks, I have looked all over and can’t find a proper answer expect one post from almost a decade ago which is vague. ive seen photos and they look pretty much identical, would an r33 GTR N1 reo work on an r32? reason I ask is they are cheaper to buy… $700 compared to 1k+ for an r32 n1 reo
    • Couldn't help myself, had to start putting it together.... It really is a solid bit of kit.  Probably stronger than i would have made it myself to be fair! 🤣🤣 Sweating like a pig after that.  Bloody hot and muggy day today, time for a swim now!
    • Yeah was thinking that. I've had the car go lower idle possibly around 650rpm every once in a long time after pouring fuel and would sound quite rough like a misfire, almost like it's shit fuel or something but who knows.
    • @Wazmond you are correct, my bad, was not my intent    https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.    I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.    I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.    https://gtrfestival.com.au
