Hey, first thing is first... I was driving my sexy Z the other night and noticed that the temperature gauge was called after about 15 mins of driving... then i saw that as i released off the accelerator that the temperature gauge went from cold to warm... it doesnt go into hot or anywhere near it... just wondering if anyone knows what that is... second thing ... is that im looking for new brakes... and im wondering if anyone has any suggestions that i could look into... i have 1993 300zx N/A... well thanks alot for any replies Oleg
cut thermostat maybe.. get it checked out ASAP also with the pads there is a member on the forum, glsrally.... or something like that.. he has opened a thread in the for sale by business section, worth a look
More specific i just realised how about my brakes post... i need new rotors and i was wonderin what i can get with a budget of about $800-$1000 any help would be great!!
billy, what do you mean by cut thermostat? As for the brake upgrade Oleg, what's your budget? This could range from a couple of hundred for new pads and a brake master cylinder brace (have a search for that one). If you're after a budget overhaul of the brake system, might i suggest picking up a set of TT front brake calipers, buying a rebuild kit from www.cazracing.com or www.conceptzperformance.com. Then getting a set of the these http://www.cazracing.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=82 for example. So for about 1100, 1200 bucks you could get a cheap set of TT calipers, rebuild them, replace all fluids, get a brake cylinder brace, get new pads and bigger rotors. This is essentially what i'm working towards. If you decide to do the rebuild/reseal on some calipers, let me know as i've recently finished mine. ps: if you do all the work yourself, you could sneak all this in for under a grand. See what the exchange rate is with Coz in the states at the time, might get the rotors a bit cheaper. pps: also the big brake kit won't fit under the standard 16" wheels, just thought i'd add that too
Who on earth would do that? For racing or something so you've got constant coolant flow? Would have to be running bloody hot to necessetate i'd reckon lol
Its done so u don't have an operating thermostat, but the coolant is sufficiently slowed down to help with heat exchange as the coolant flows around the motor. Can help a marginal overheat situation Trev
