do that first and see if it improves.

always start with the simple solutions instead of throwing parts at the problem

what u need is new thermostat loe temp an or water pump and flush radiator an add water wetter trust me it help alot by bringing down 20 degrees i know cuz i work for advanced auto parts

wow you fucking suck... no offence but that's not a good place to start... throwing parts at it is a typical auto parts store solution

first off are you running a cluch fan or electric?

second off if a clutch are all your fan shrouds there, and is the duct on the bumper connected to the lower rad. support???

third off are you sure that your fan(s) [clutch of electric] are spinning at a high enough rpm

forth take a hose and SPRAYING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE BAY OUT wash your radiator...

THEN flush your rad and make sure that it is a 50-50 mix of water and anti.

see what that does

yeah what he said u tell em Specter

i was talking about your post...

you should check to see if you have any air pockets in your system.. all you have to do is... when the engine is cold, take your radiator cap off, start the car, put your your control panel to heat , but dont run the fan!!, let the car run till your themostat opens (this will take some time, since you dont have any pressure in your coolant system because the cap is off), if you have an air pocket, once the thermostat opens, you will need to top the coolant off, put your radiator cap back on and your done..

Your user title is fucking awesome specter.

i had the same problem after replacing some parts. just needed to bleed the system as profpin stated.

yea I was gonna say are u getting hot air into the cockpit. Maybe u should just flush fill and bleed ur coolant again if u havent already as for fan it may seem like its not that but from experience granted I have an sr but as soon as that fan shutts off itll jump to an easy 210 or so so make sure that bitch is spooling

^engrish please

aside from wat spinkter said,

Check ur clutch fan to make sure it's properly working.

Open the bleeder screw on the upper intake mani. If it's not a constant stream up fluid coming out then u have air.

If u have air leave that bleeder open till u get constant stream.

thanks for the advice guys,

i flushed it, it helped ALOT!
not 100% yet, so im going to flush again

again thanks for the help

i bought a funnel system, it took ALOT of air out even the itsy bitsy small pockets of air. all i had to do is put the funnel on the radiator and let the car runs for 10mins or so. and just chill

OK like the original post stated cooling problem. this is what i have a Koyo Rad with daul electric fans new water pump and new nissan thermostat I've bleeded the system I've got the correct mix of coolant. not leaking any coolant and compression reads fine , i keep having to add coolant and under hard driving conditions the temp goes up and stays up whats the cause, or could it faulty gauges
