Hi I’m also wondering if you’re considering of selling your mikunis. And maybe if you have pictures of them. I know it’s been some time. But consider selling them. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Hello everyone. I would just like to say thanks for even looking at this post. This is my first post and I'm not even sure if it's going to the right place haha. But I would appreciate some feedback if you're reading this, thank you. So I've been workin on this car for about 4 years now. I know the insides and outs of the motor since I've built it. But I'm running into this insane cooling issue. This is a Datsun 280z 1978, late 77. Running a stock bottom block l28. With an N47 top end from an 83 280zxturbo. It is NA right now. With some performance mods. Recent ac delete and upgraded suspension. Once I was finished putting in suspension. I've done a complete overhaul of the cooling system since I've replaced my radiator. New radiator (obviously) mishimoto all aluminum. New water pump, oem thermostat 180, new oem fan, new silicone upper and lower hoses, coolant flush, also some water wetter in there, did a coolant bled the system, brand new thermal fan clutch. This thermostat housing is off of a 280zx but the connections are the same just routed in different areas. I checked them to make sure they're working. I did not do any electrical tests, just some physical readings and made sure they were connected. But the temp on the temp gauge reads too high for my liking. Looks like it's reading about 200-210 and my fan clutch is not kicking on. At start up it does but the coil doesn't hold up to help the fan pull air. This happens at idle. While I drive at highway or even regular speeds the temp goes dramatically down and stays at regular about halfway. But when the engine does overheat it stays at the temperature stated above. That tells me that my thermostat is working but it still over heats. I need help. Before all this happened the engine did overheat before and I've been through 5 radiators and ran great. But this overheating issue is killing me since here in so cal it can get up to 110 degrees outside during the summer. So I'm just wondering what could be the problem. Sensor issues? Better bleeding of system? Simple fan shroud? If you need any extra info from me I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks! ~Henry

Working on re doing the suspension with mostly T3 parts. Coil overs, control arms, and re building the rack, undercoating the underbody, and flare rubber strip. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
