Cheers alex, Fans kick in but temp keeps climbing due to no flow through thermostat.
Changed the coolant when thermostat fitted. No air in system as far as I`m aware.
I am assuming my new stat from Nissan is ok .
I am using MotorFactor (Granville) coolant, are there different grades of coolant?
Car overheated, needle in the red. Bottom Radiator hose cold. Stuck thermostat.
Removed and tested in pan of boiling water. It barely opened about 2mm.
Bought a new one from Nissan (then seen the Cosworth ones for same money)
Twice now car has gone into red before thermostat opens and temps drop. This morning it didn`t open at all.
What else would cause the thermostat to stay closed?
Thanks
check all the bushes. Banana arm usually gives a clunk when going over bumps or braking if shot.
Bottom shock mount bushes can give weird movements if failed.
Top arm bushes the same.
Sounds like something is moving when it shouldn`t.
Jack it up, wheel off and look for cracked/split rubber on all the mounting points.
Morning Ewen and all at CMS
Need anti roll bar bushes this time, front mainly but can you give me price for both please.
Whiteline preferably but whatever you recommend.
Thanks
I have one for sale,

I have an old set of wolfrace alloys off of my Z [Nissan PCD of 5x114]
I have bought an old Mercedes as a daily. These have a PCD of 5x112.
Obviously they are not the same but what sort of leeway do you have? ie will these wheels fit?
Havn`t picked car up yet so can`t physically check.
Thanks
Free parts? No excuse now. Nice
As alex says, don`t give up on it
If you can list what its failed on we can have more of an idea what it`ll take to get it back on the road.
Very nice, always wanted to have my old s14 midnight purple,
I like my Interiors black, but a few nice purple or wheel colour highlights (stitching etc) would look ace. Subtle and classy to match that awesome paint.
