Hey guys, anyone had any overheating issues today? Reached 39.8degrees after lunch today. Just say im glad i put in a new radiator and temp gauge. The hottest i got up to was 88 degrees with a/c full in traffic. Then down to 78ish on the fwy.
im over heating walking from my office outside to the loo... damn it! left the targas off again.. that leathers gonna give me 3rd degree burns
Just got back from a drive and holy moly, engine was struggling (but thats nothing new lol) and some knocks reading from the knock sensor due to the stupid heat and humidity, bring on winter!
Just got home driving home both windows down stinking hot drank 2ltrs cold water just on the trip home. Cause I was in my daihatsu truck with the 2.8ltr diesel heater under the seat and not my nice fully serviced Z with its nice new PWR radiator that kept it beautifully cool yesterday.
Nup even after market guage was fine. Was good to see my ambient temp readout is wworking LOL. Time to fix the aircon
Any recommendations as to where to buy a new/better radiator in Perth? Not feeling too confidant with my stock one right now.
heat i was driving around yesterday looking at cars and my z ran fine, clutch struggled a bit though, drove home 500km this morning and sweet as, didn't miss a beat but yesterday evening i was putting new wheels on it and i nearly melted, 45deg c sitting on hot concrete using a stock z jack, and those things truly suck, i forgot to put my small trolly jack in the car :bash:
mmm definitely felt the heat today, had to drive to baldivis this arvo, on the fwy, air con felt as though it was doing nothing. i think my air con is all good, don't know how far off from a regas it is though
Went to beatty park in the arvo, but was only a temporary fix Car ran well, but didn't push it hard :zlove: My beast is a sucker for punishment lol Cheers Rob
You shoulda done it at my house like I offered. Shade, trolley jack, electric rattle gun.... doesn't get much better really! haha Good to hear you got home alright though!
ha, Franz yeah, thanks for the offer, i should have mentioned it lol, but i didn't think the 10" rims and 265 tyres would fit in the car, in the end it would have been easier to try it and find out, even if i had to put them back on, but the rims i got from you run sweet Franz, thanks once again, you're a true gentleman cheers
I ran 13 runs at the drags this avo without any problems even doing 2nd gear big burnouts My Bridgestone Potenza G3's are no longer new
Only drove a night and it was still hot outside haha I see a few people needing their air con fixed, and im one of them, probly just a re-gas, spose i can trust an auto elecy for that, or can i? lol where do u guys go?
I drove from Melbourne to Brisbane in my 89T in the peak of summer, it reached 45 degrees one point at one of the stops in nth nsw according to the led panel thingo. The temp gauge didn't move the entire trip and it was a fairly "spirited" drive to say the least! lol I did the trip in about 16 hours or so.
Sleeping... CHARiZMA was sound asleep all day in the garage...I was indoors most of the day as well...bugger going outside for a joke...lucky it's cooling down over the week and the weekend ahead looks nice... But yeah, coolant flush this weekend I think...and oil change is due...get her ready for this blistering heat... Cheers Rob.
Dont think I'll be having any problems this summer. Driving hard in the middle of all that heat the highest coolant temps I got were 82deg. Average running temp is now 78-79deg No aircon needed.
i was stuck in a huge traffic jam , first gear for 5 ks on the way to the jimmy barns concert in the heat with air con on and it kept stalling i think temp was up but gauge showed normal , i dont know if the gauge can be trusted though . has anyone else had stalling when hot ?
