Well I'm glad eveyone is OK and you're girlfriend is going to be OK as well. MR2 sounds about right mate .. hairdrier not included? Good luck. Chris P

PMSL ... You didn't make the Jam did you mate? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Course mate ... better than being nagged by the missus .. for sure ..

I don't think the leads will reach properly. If the Zed is a Jap spec you can get the following from Harry's Hcc005 - 585 Cca That is what I got for mine HTH Chris P

The Jap terminals are the other way round to UK spec mate ..

You don't want to sell it mate. No really, you don't ;)

I had this problem and I got the pedigree ones as I like a bit of bling!!

Hi Eric, Thanks for the excellent reply on this. I took the car out a lunchtime and the temperature climbed to 210F / 99C. I then stoppped, let the car idle, turned on the Air con to max and the Aux fan did not swith on at all. I am presuming it works. I also did the heater one at higher speed and nothing but hot air ... Sooooo I do think the gauge is not reading right. Chris P

Looks really nice mate. Well done.

DOH .. cheers Andy. Hopefully the manufacturers can tell me the resistance levels throughout the temp range.

Does anyone know the resistance of the S7 water temp gauge? All great fun. Ta

If anyone can lend me the sensor for this I would be fookin grateful. Hopefully not all of you have fitted it yet. Just lend it to me for a while. Cheers Chris

My thoughts are that it should be running between 80 - 85 degrees on load and not pushing it. If you drove it hard then I would expect the temperature to go into the low 90's 210F is way too hot under normal load.

Just contacted a UK dealer for Autotechnic and explained everything in detail and they think it is the wrong sensor. :rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly Andy. Hopefully AC Autotechnic can clear up the issue as I haven't got the correct sender. And I know the system is fine. Chris P

Exactly mate. I know the water system is in good condition, and as MAC says FACT. Hence why I have contacted the manufacturers direcly because I am convinced it is the sensor. Cheers Ryan

Hi Mark Well all I can say is that I know my car and this isn't right. I have flushed the rad completely, checked for air locks, used the correct combination of good antifreeze with water. The bottom pipe is cool to the touch, the top pipe hot. There is no oil in the water, clear as a bell and I don't have a coolant leak. I am 99% convinced that it is the sender. I mean what is the point of going to all this trouble and expense, fitting the stainless top pipe and bottom, fitting the gauge only to be given *****x readings? ****s me right off.

Hi Ant That is very very interesting. I think it is the sender. I am going to see if I can contact the manufacturers to check. I have also had a PM from someone else who has had the same problem. Thanks Chris

I have done a search and need some advice plese fellas ... all the info is on this thread ... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39918 Maybe someone with some sort of tech advice could reply ... Ta Chris

Jeeez .. you guys are soooooo much help ... cheers ....

I will PM you Dave and we can sort out a time. :)

..

Thanks Dave. I'm sure we can sort something out.

Was hoping to bring it over on either a Saturday or Sunday Dave. I can't do this weekend as I am up in Kidderminster but as my car isn't my daily driver I can wait for a couple of weeks. Can you make the 30th which is a Saturday?

That's not too bad Dave. I posted a thread about my car overheating, well according to the aftermarket gauge anyways. Stock was same as ever. Wanted to check the actual temp on the conzult compared with the aftermarket gauge.
