After several tests i managed to recreate the water out of rad cap. Basically if you run 15psi boost as she was that day then she looses water thru the rad cap. 13 psi ans below doesnt cause a problem. ive turned down the boost to 5psi for the moment to be on the safe side. i normally run 5 psi, but it was turned upto 15 when i raced a motorbike thursday night. forgot to turn it back down before lending car to wife who has no idea what a boost controller is. been driving car all week wit no problem untill last night when i upped the boost as part of the test, no overheating but water (about 1 liter) dripped ou of the ad cap after engine was switched off.

hmm that would be the 4th RAD in a year, all 2nd hand ones. think its time for either a brand new OE one or an uprated one.

Its not but its anouther problem ive spotted and sorted. don know what to do about the rad cap, is it a new rad or new cap? I have 2 std nissan ones and a greddy one. the greddy one can be removed without even undoing.

lol very good

Cool, love the name of the boat

Scooby drivers who thing there car is the dogs.

Dont know but i like it.

Now i can insure my Carlton and the ZX becomes an offical toy & not my daily drive YAY

Just paid £350 with Norton and it didnt use my NCB like Chaucer did.

Doh just called them and the saved me a £100 YAY

According to their website Norton dont do Grey Imports

Could everybody bring 5 gallons of water just to make sure my car get there, cheers :) :tongue:

Did a check today and it turns out the electric fan didnt work (took off the conectors and it didnt come on). Few squirts of elec contact cleaner on the connector righ by the fan and now it works again. hopefully she fine for JAE now.

TBH even some of the modded turbos only get 13 sec qtr mile so an NA will struggle to get near the 9's. there are a few on here wit NA that drag em, i think there is a thread dedicated to the tuning of NA's. Im sure on of the NA regulars will be on to point u in the right direction soon. ohh and welcome to the club

Well if im zedless i wont be going so fingers crossed. :(

Buying the zed was the worse decision ive made after getting married LOL. Mind you both ruin you financially and give you a headache.

Very nice mate

Not good mate, if it was mine id torch it calim the insurance and start again. But then me and my car arnt best of mates at the mo.

yep im going straight from work so may be able to meet up with you lot. Just want to make sure my car gets there though after the overheating on the weekend. Could not get it to overheat or even go above half warm today.

Plan worked so now i finish at 1pm on Friday :)

I think your right MAC, seems strange it blew a Greddy Cap off, ive never felt this rad sealed properly, the old one did so i may have to get that one recored instead.

seems as id no rad cap fits my rad properly. the greddy one flew off and the stock one leaks. hope i dont need another rad got a collection of broken ones already in my garage.

got a hole on mine their mate, but i moves the hose a few inches further towards the connection to seal the hole. maybe i should do the job properly

my thoughts exatly

Wife just got back from work in my Z. When she pulled up i went out to assist her parking as she was all over the shop. Anyway, noticed water dripping from under the car. had a look and it was too far forward to be the overflow, so popped bonnet and water was seeping out of the rad cap. I could hear bubbling from the plenum area too :(. Turned on ignition and the temp guage when right up just before the redline. Wife says thet car felt fine and she never noticed the temp guage rise untill she was parking it, which means it was probally boiling over for some time. She was stuck in trafic in the down center for some time in the heat with the air-con on and then when she got to the dual carridgeway she gave it some caning. Im hoping i not ****ed, with JAE round te corner. Any idea's?
