I dont know who makes this low temperature thermostat, it has no markings on it?

62deg is stamped on it. Could be Nismo?

I didnt know my car had one fitted so bought a Mishimoto low temp stat, to then realise this was already fitted on the car.

Im looking for £20 plus postage of approx £5.

Thanks.

The problem is that it's track orientated and you've documented on your build thread that your car wasn't coming upto temperature in the cold weather with it fitted.

Nobody who does normal driving would purchase this piece of kit knowing this and sadly there isn't that many track day go-ers on here.

 

Fabulous piece of kit though and if I didn't buy one the other week then I would have it off you.

 

you are correct, but as stated my car wasnt getting up to temperature, but I believe this was due to a 62deg thermostat, Mishimoto ally rad with twin fans etc. I have now swapped the 62deg stat for a Mishimoto 67deg and seemed to help the car warming up before I took the cooler off.

 

I would also agree, not the best time of year to be selling something like this, this side of xmas....

 

What you were finding was the water wasn't getting upto temperature which is probably down to both the fans and also the oil temps being too low to sustain the required water temp.

If you fit an oil temp gauge you will be surprised how low the temps will be with something like this fitted.

 

I went for a 13 row cooler as I thought the bigger one was probs over kill.

 

If somebody wants to buy this for a daily, in the winter I'd recommend covering the cooler to block the airflow. This will allow the temps to come up as required probably.

This is probs what I will do if I'm using it for a run in the winter.

 

This kit is far more superior to the one I bought and has all the extras. Mines was very basic and more parts will be required to fit. If you don't sell it soon I may buy it off you at a later date to steal some of the bits from it for fitting mines.

 

Good luck with the sale mate

The car was getting up to temperature if I drove round town kind of thing, It was when I hit the motorways and stuck to 70mph that the temps started dropping again.

To be quite honest I was expecting a quick sale lol, Need the money for tyres!

BUMP

PHOTOS ADDED!

I would swap this for a good pair of 265 40 18 tyres.

I do a bit of Course when I get time, and have been fly fishing a few times.

 

Never been sea fishing, and something I would like to do at some point.

 

Problem with Fly fishing down here is that it is so expensive! I do like to Fly fish though when I can

Where is down here?

This will be removed the weekend for better photos.

I no longer need this, the car has a Mishimoto radiator and twin fans, low temp thermostat etc.

Good bit of kit, and in great condition.

Estimated to be approx 12months old.

I apologise for the lack of my Name on the recently added photographs.

Looking for £250 plus postage if required, located in Walsall.

Theres a carbon fibre one for sale by GT4 Zed, even better

£50 Collected!

2 Hours left if someone wants a decent deal on these.

After removing the Thermostat to replace it, I found it looked like its been swapped for an aftermarket 62deg low temp one.

could this have been causing the problem? also how do I know which one it is, as I believe NISMO, Cosworth etc all make these and it may be fine and worth selling?

I have a 62deg thermostat, not sure if its Nismo, I know cosworth did one too?

Let me know if youre interested.

Welcome mate! Made the same SX-Z Swap myself

My offer still stands mate if you're interested.

New Mishimoto Water Thermostat on order

Why i didnt grasp that concept straight away ill never know!

Thanks!

Sorry I think I understand, the thermostat could have failed in the open position?!

I know thats the water gauge, but its still dropping at high speeds, which would suggest that its overcooling the water. if the oil plate is thermostatic, it wont push the oil though it because of how cool the car is running?

now I have covered some of the grill with the number plate, its warming up and staying warm

Now on the Bay of E's......

I moved the numberplate down covering some of the grille last night, and seems to have solved the problem. drove about 20mile round town and another 20 on the motorway and the car has reached temp and stayed there.

Ill just have to keep an eye on the gauge for a little while, and move the plate back once the winter is over lol

Neither are really needed for normal driving, and that's why your seeing low temps, the oil cooler in particular is not at all necessary unless your running a track car, and the big rad is just compounding the issue,

 

I would presume you have a thermostatic oil cooler take off plate? other than removing them the best you can do for now is to cover the oil cooler to stop airflow through it, and partially cover some of the rad, unless you oil temps are getting to 100c you will never get rid of the water vapor and acidic contaminants produced during the combustion process, its not good for the engine.

I might sell the oil cooler, as you say it doesnt suffer from getting hot with already bigger rad, and the occasional track day next year wont really warrant it?

ill block off some of the rad and the oil cooler for now. Thanks

I have a Mishimoto Aluminium Rad with twin fan back plate, and the Mishimoto Oil Cooler with a thermostatic sandwich plate. The car takes a while to warm up on startup, and recently in the cold weather isnt ever reaching the normal operating temperature. This also isnt helped by me turning the heaters in the car.

Sitting in traffic the car will warm up as normal, but travelling at speed on the motorway seems to be overcooling the car and the water temp gauge starts dropping to the point as shown in the picture.

I have read into this on other forums, and people have fitted a lower/higher temp thermostat when fitting better rads, im assuming to stop the water running though it until certain temps?.

I have thought of just putting my number plate over the grille on a temporary basis to see if this helps the problem during the winter when im on the motorway etc.

Could it be a air lock (seems too consistent with high speeds and cooling)

Faulty stat? Need a higher or lower temp stat?

Any help would be appreciated?
