hensh65 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Hi guys, Just traded in my 1.8 civic type S last month for a 55 sunset orange 350z. Just a slight difference in power and performance ,,,,,,,, However after owning the car for a week I put it into the garage to get the tracking done only to find out it had over heated. Didn't know if the head gasket had gone or the fans weren't turning. Long story short it went back to the dealer and the fans had seen better days so were replaced. Had it back for 3 weeks now and been running fine. Going to start up a build thread as I have purchased a few things already in my short ownership. Private registration New discs and pads all round ( hurt the pocket ! ) small aerial 18" touring alloys sprayed black booked in this Saturday for window tints, roof wrapped black and the bar under the front bumper grill wrapped black. This site has more than doubled the list of things to do to it ! Quote

RS8055 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Welcome... and congratulations on your new Zed! That was the colour I wanted initially, but there isn't much choice this side of the water.... Quote
Pete87 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Nice zed, the modding does get expencive lol you just have to know when to stop however most of use don't have that abillity. Quote
Sam Mcgoo Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Welcome to the club, you've started down the slippery slope already! Quote
bronzee Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Welcome and happy modding. So did the dealer actually tell you what they did? Was it the head gasket or the fans??? Might be useful for you to know in the future. Fans is fairly likely though. Quote
hensh65 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks for all the welcomes ! Yes Z legend, they had originally put a new thermostat in it, however it over heated in the winter which normally means trouble. But they done compression tests and the head gasket was fine. So I think the fans were not kicking in when they were supposed to so they took it back for a week and got it fixed and gave me in exchange a Mini... but the weather has been fairly warm and it does about 40 mile round trip every day and no issues as yet Quote
M13KYF Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 has been a couple of issues with fans not working Quote
