Besides who needs a/c on race night, right?
Good-luck.
Damn, why is your sh*t overheating?
What symptoms have you checked?</font>
I wish I knew why my car was overheating. I've checked the coolant temp sensor, cleaned it. Changed radiator cap to a new 13 psi one, then to the 300ZX one. Kinda flushed out the radiator. I woulda drained the coolant in the block too, but the damn bolt was too hard to get out! Maybe it's the water pump, but doubt it.
I think it's the radiator because my car had previously been in an accident before I bought it. They fixed the bumper and everything, but the left (passenger) side headlight was kinda broken. They put a replacement headlight on, but all the wiring was shitty and sometimes it won't even come on! But I ghettoly used some wires and temporarily fixed it, still working. Oh yeah, airbags are deployed. That damn AIRBAG light bugs me to death, gonna snip the wire. The only reason I got it was because the price was right ($5k), low miles (50k), and there was no engine damage (at least that I know of). It runs strong. When I was stock, a GS-R w/ I/E barely beat me. The radiator, I believe, may have been damaged from the little accident. Any other things to check??? If not, I just my get me a Nismo radiator in the future and hope it solves all my problems. Sorry for rambling, I'm just kinda pissed I can't solve this problem.
