I think the airbleed did the trick no more overheating.. but now I have a new problem. There is no hot air on idle... but when im drivng it gets hot, when im idling in traffic its cold, but when i rev it in traffic it gets warm. Is that the water pump problem? My radiator cap is a nismo effort and its pretty fine i think. i seen no leakage or foaming from radiator cap. Thanks guys I only have two weeks to solve this

Issit normal to foam? I did it till there was no more foam or bubbles and capped it off then. did same with radiator cap. Now its not overheating but now i have no heat in the cabin at all.. whereas before it was warmish.

"No airlock issues if you drain from the bottom of the radiator and refill carefully. To do a full flush you need to drain the fluid from the engine block too which will be difficult and you'll be more at risk of getting a lot of air in the system. I recommend only replacing what you drain from the radiator which was around 6L when I did it (there's approx 8.7L total coolant in system) There is a bleed screw at the top right of the engine bay near the firewall which you need to remove when you refill, coolant will bubble through it whilst you're filling it and when it overflows out with no bubbles replace the bleed screw and continue filling. You shouldn't get any air in the system that way, make sure you pour slowly. " Does this mean i have to drain the coolant out completely to get rid of airlock? Are there any how to's on getting rid of airlock Iv tried searching cant find anything as yet thanks guys

Im about to put on the ole mechanics suit and look.. the coolant had dropped from max by 1cm but that could be due to air. Im going to have a search through the forum about airlock but issit something fairly simple to do. There is onestep i missed out i forgot to take the bleeder valve when filling the coolant up.

Im just thinking i disconnected the top hose to drain a little coolant out so as i could add radiator weld. Could air in the system possibly cause it to overheat that much? I did sit with the car on idle and waited for all the bubbles to stop before topping up the radiator as to bleeding wise.

It is so annoying! Lasttime i was overheating it was due to the fan not working. I had replaced with Mishimoto dual fan and shroud setup courtesy of Zedmanalex. I know the fans are definately working as I sat and let the car build up to temperature and first fan kicked in and when i switch on aircon the second fan kicks in hard. Now what else could be the problem? I had a small coolant leak or so i thought so i used some radiator weld stuff which has solved the problem. But recently during a heavy traffic afternoon i noticed this on my dash. And ever since whenever im sat at idle or going slow the car temp climbs. Could it be possible the weld stuff has blocked my thermostat? I have turned on the heaters and the there is heat but I dont think its as hot as it used to be. I dont know if for sure. Could it be jammed slightly open? Or has the radiator weld messed up my water pump? This is so annoying as im supposed to be doing a trip up to scotland in 2weeks time for chinese new year. Iv also did an oil check my oil is slightly above high. Please help!

Wow i love the last one!

HiHi and Welcome!

Issit really necessary for all that bracing? I thought our cars were pretty tough as they are lol

Hey Hey Welcome! Its good to have someone from across the pond! il do you a deal you find me parts for my G35 and if you need things from over here il get them for you haha

Zed Targa?! wow im intrigued! Did they just chop the roof off?

I dont like harlfords half the time they dont know what they are doing or looking for.. the staff are fun to chat to though when im bored I go there to chat to random staff about cars haha

Wow you must have patience of a saint! Good work when are you expecting to have this all complete?

Yeah Clutch mate... although mine was at the last bit of biting and i thought the flywheel would be dead too but on further inspection at infiniti they told me my dual mass flywheel was fine, but I upgraded to lightweight flywheel anyway and havent looked back! It would be rude not to since your changing your clutch anyway

:lol:

if your coming from an s2000 your probably in too low a gear.. we dont need to go so high up the revs to get power

68pounds to fill? When my light is on and i max it out its 81pounds something! Where do you get your petrol dude? lol Some of the fill ups are not full fill ups. I may have a quarter of a tank left when I fill up. It's an average cost per fill up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nice cool app..think il download and see mine =)

Hey I got eibach arbs, do i need these? Or only if im lowered?

68pounds to fill? When my light is on and i max it out its 81pounds something! Where do you get your petrol dude? lol

What induction kit did you get... maybe the maf needs a little clean or something. I take my time to let the engine temp warms up properly before doing anything spirited as i notice when its cold start the petrol goes down faster and the exhaust/ induction noise sounds deeper..

Oh nice one! Il get some printed off... I wonder if i can do drivebys and throw them through there windows like ninja stars

LMAO i bet he felt mega awkward! He probably thought i was going to shout abuse or something!

Seen this young guy driving a 350z chased him down lol and then asked him if he was on our forum unfortunately he wasnt but i asked him to join the forum! Told him about great deals from traders we have on here! =) I want a whole bunch of leaflets so i can go around hunting down zed owners!

Looking Pretty slick! An expensive lawnmower though lol joking

I thought they were illegal? I remember a traffic cop stopping me and did a full check of my car then saying the sunstrip is illegal... and i was forced to rip it off on the spot! =( Also i think somesunstrips can be done from the inside like tints so that would solve the wiper rubbing problem.
