LOL...you guys are too funny. She knows a lot more than her cute little voice would lead you to believe...haha.

 

Hey Dubai lets get an update! Did you fix the overheating problem? Did you get her back on the Dyno? hhuu did you? did you ? did you?

 

I think Sharif is telling her what to say to get us all turned on.

 

hahhaa, had to toss back in my "winter thermostat", the "summer" one was getting me sub 140 degree temps (actually not really sure as my temp gauge only starts to read at 140) on the freeway with my 3" radiator set up!!!!

 

Dubai, just wanted to make sure, your running the stillen oil cooler right?

 

It is not uncommon for the temp to rise during dyno. sessions, as the cooling process is not at its optimum; as you know that airflow is limited on a dyno, compared to airflow when driving. Stop and permit the engine to cool before making each pull. Never continue pulling when you notice the temp increasing to warning levels.

What is your ambient temp and humidity level? I would suggest doing the dyno in the evenings when your ambient temp is lower. My brother just arrived from Abu Dhabi and he tells me that this is the coolest period of the year. He also tells me that there are many 350Z/s in Abu Dhabi.

Check the oil dip stick to see if there is any coolant leakage, if you are concerned about the mentioned gasket issue. No greenish froth and coolant smells and/or burning smell on your dip stick, you probably fine in that area.

Always, watch the temp, ventilation and have sufficient cooling during dyno secessions; the car is subjected to extreme un-natural loads during dyno sessions. More cars have blown engines on dynos than on the roads.

Obviously, make certain that your cooling system is operating at its peak before placing it on a dyno., you have quite a few good suggestions, up there, on bleeding your cooling system.

Good Luck

Thanks guys

Yes stillen cooler..

 

Ha! Sharif I think they figured it out.

 

thats 1 and i have a lil trick for u to do so..... boil some water and i mean boil it untill u start seeing watervapor and then poor it in the redaitor this will open ur thermostat... and may I sugest to turn ur AC on after each run for 2 or 3 min it will cool the car faster than u expect man i'm in saudi and i know the heat u r talking about on the dyno i was in dubai as well... check for any air bubles in rediator pips try to sques and 1 more thing i suggest badly a very cheap yet effective mode do the water cooling thing for the engine if u dont know what i mean let me and i will tell u about it its here on the forum i can dig the links for u man u will 4get anything that has to do with heating up...

 

Thanks silver nismo...it seemed to be air in the system. the car is running fine now. overheating a lil bit when running her hard and for long time, then returns to normal level.

it would be great if you can find me the link for the water cooling mod you're talking about. I'd like to take a look on how it works and might be helpfull for anyone that might come thru this thread!

Thats the 1 and i'm sure u will b shocked with the temp. in the car to me its stock with AC off and if i turn it on i need to floor the car every now and then in a loong drive coz my temp go under the stock temp. by just a lil nudge... I sugest that u just fabricate the stock water path on the car and not buy the pathfinder 1 coz for our hot countries we need the water to b flowing from the 1st second can't w8 till the 2ed thermostat opens u know what i'm talking about April till Nov. all the best man and good luck... give us some good #s..

 

thanks guys...cant wait till I replace the actuators and drop some bigger injectors...
