it was started from cold , outside temp according to dash was 1+ , but as above the levels are fine and it had a full coolant change (+ anti freeze by nissan in november?) im thinking thermostat ? but hopefully be able to get it to brian safely so he can have a proper look :)

very nice;)

im gonna convert for now , but agreed u can't beat genuine;)

Wow that would be a big help Bud it's booked in for Monday at nissan but if you can take a peek im off, mon,tue & wednesday?;) and could cancel Nissan 4 now Thanks bud:)

that first pic is gr8 !

yep checked the levels all seem fine according to the book (it also had a full change at nissan in nov:confused:), im thinking thermostat , pump or viscous? Vijay -- i was amazed at how Quick it rose !! did you have any overheating issues prior to the pump?

it really is growing on me, i'd take one over a 350 any day!

nice pics m8 and like ur plans you going for genuine 99 spec lights?

yes Si , only the occasional stop at lights on way back while eng was still cold mostly 60/70 rd's etc so good air flow I need to have a proper look tomorrow but it's booked in at nissan for a diagnose Monday (bit worried on getting it there though !)

Im unsure on my availabilty for this now guys (date depending) having Z probs at the min:( http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=120702 i'll keep u posted once i know more

Hi all, Well , 7 months in to ownership and looks like iv'e hit my first proper issue with the Z !:cry: Was on the way to get my tracking done after having 2 tyres and bushes replaced a week or so ago. i started the car from home (cold) and set off for the garage with no issues. (7,mls from home approx) When i was waiting at the lights just before the garage. - I noticed the temp gauge was slightly above the normal position and was sitting right in the middle instead, as i was about to turn in to the garage at this point I thought will pull up and have a proper look. By the time i was in the car park (matter of second's) the needle was noticably rising from half way ! I instantly turned off and popped the bonnet couldn't see any water leaking out or steam etc. I then left the car off for a while to cool and went to explain to the garage. A good 15 mins later one of the guys from the garage came to have a look he instantly went to start the car (wasnt to keen on the idea yet) It started and temp was back at normal after giving it a few Rev's the temp gauge was off again rising from half way Quickly! . (So instant switch off again). My main concern was then how to get back (no AA ,Rac etc) (So after trying various mates etc for help to no avail) - and letting the engine cool for a good 4 hrs i started it back up put the fans on full and set of home. The car drove fine all the way and didnt move from the normal temp once. So hopefully i haven't damaged engine. As im not hands on and it had a coolant change at nissan not long ago im gonna take it back to them But if anyone can give me any pointers before hand, ie- certain checks to do to help eliminate things it can or cant be that would be a great help :D:D
