SkylineV35

for 300 id go for a branded one to be on safe side..

Man feel your pain... I dont see the point in you totally going out your way and him not appreciating it. Could you possibly replace him? My mates would at least wait for me to park the car up for the night before getting smashed together. It seems your being used and abused here. Best friend or not id speak to him on a level and ask him does the band mean anything to him or is it just an excuse to party. Or maybe your taking the band to serious... Your friend seems blind of the fact your going out your way for him.

i got a cc lightweight flywheel(courtesy of zedmanalex) its prob one of the best mods i love the mechanical sound upto 2000rpm lol

i think if the zed was longer it would look nice..

welcome cant wait to see the pics!

I very much doubt it will take seconds mate, to get to the heads alone is a big ass job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No i meant if yours takes seconds to overheat.. as i managed 2hours yesterday without it over heating but before it was 5-10mins and id have to shut her down.

Welcome good luck!

iv been comparing headgaskets theres HKS, Cosworth and Cosmetic.Hmmm if yours takes seconds then i might just be off the hook. still havent tested her today.. scared me thinks.. if it overheats thats my day ruined.

Haha il just drive into Formula1 pitcrew when there at silverstone and get them to do it!

Aww mate dont tell me that! Iv just driven her 2hours with no overheating and temp coming through fine in the cabin.. Would you mind pm me how much it cost to fix and what was involved? I'll keep you updated mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Im doing an oil change on monday to see if theres anything leaked in with it.. how long do you drive before it overheats in yours?

Yeah the pipes do look abit small.. il have a look at that next..fingers crossed i wont need to thanks though

lmao!

Hihi Welcome!

Guys i rebled the system before work, then topt up the coolant when i finished drove her for 2hours solid.. no problems whatsoever.. temp gauge below halfway heaters hot hot! I really hope this is the end of it! Im never touching the coolant EVER again lmao. Will watch the temp gauge and coolant level for another week, thanks for all the help and support guys!

Im thinking it might be a stuck thermostat.. issit easy to just take out thermostat and just plug it back up without it? I want to try this and see if it still overheats. In theory if it still overheats then does this mean its the headgasket for sure?

Just had a second opinion. The guy is also suggesting headgaskets as he said he could smell coolant/ petrol on the oil dipstick and also the oil level is above max on the stick hes saying it could have leaked in there. He also said it could be the thermostat sticking from the radiator weld. I tried to reproduce the bubbling at 4000rpm but it wouldnt do it..until i got home =_= He checked on the system he said roughly 15hours work give or take. about 800pounds in labour if all is easy to come off. But unfortunatley he couldnt do it and thats labour at 44pounds +vat. which sounds pretty fair.

Wait so airlock doesnt overheat the car?? Then i really must be looking at some other parts somewhere... could radiator weld weld a waterpump fan so it doesnt pump coolant??

Fans come on and are nearly on constantly after a 25mins of driving

Following Zedmanalex decription.. Ok i got some new symtoms its still overheating but after a good while.. when im on idle and reving to 3000rpm ther is no water sloshing/bubbling but when i rev to 4500rpm i can hear it again.. what does this mean? My heaters appear to be fine im getting heat in the cabin now. Does this mean the radiator weld stuff maybe blocking my heater matrix or blocking somewhere? Should I just do a fool flush and start again? Thanks Saskhi

Yeah I was wondering same thing or even water pump..

No i think my fans are fine as when from cold start i let it heat up till fan kicks in and when i hit the aircon the second fan kicks in.I have uprated to a mishimoto fans and shroud due to fans not working lastime

Thanks and recieved! Yeah I thought as I was out of options id drop in to see if they had any expert opinion and indeed they did lol

Haha Wessex Nissan Cardiff!
