May sound like a stupid question but have you replaced the radiator cap?

Enjoy the big heap Nissan, when it plays up, drinks loads of fuel or gets driven past by an Xj you can then blame the Gq model......

But hey at least you'll have 35's and not an Xj...

CYA.....
Well said JJ

Who cares? Obviously had his mind made up..........had a GQ twelve years ago. Got tired of doing CVs on the trail.........

Don't often agree with AB, but, hey, you are absolutely correct.

You are learning well, grasshopper.......

Breaking unis and diffs definetly driving style

Never doubted that

When my mates n I go off road we go hard

Got it 100 percent back together today

Brand new colder thermostat it got up to last notch before red with air con on idling. Would of boiled if I didn't shut air con off

Ran it with no aircon at 2000 rpm for a few minutes ran about 115


Took thermostat out idled under 100
Took it for a spin tonight stayed cold till I went down a dirt track near my house tested low range gave it a but of stick for 10 minutes
Warmed up to about 115 and wouldn't go down sitting on idle wuth heater full noise, drove back home down highway 90 zone cold night started going higher on temp! With cold air going through

Just at a loss

3 Cherokees in 6 months been most unreliable cars I have ever owned
Had v8 falcons all my life never gave me trouble

All the guys beating down gqs it Dosent mean shit to me I know they are good trucks for what I want out of a 4b



2 water pumps
3 radiators
Numerous thermo stats
Cooling system flushed out no blockages
Different motor

I have lifted the back of the bonnet with spacers
Thermostat in thermostat out
Hoses

Can you see why I'm pissed off?

I want my xj to be able to off road in 30 plus degrees with air con on
I just can't see that happening
