It does work, notice how my engine temp gauge doesn't even read half

 

1) What do you expect when you are going 140mph. Plenty of cooling air
2) How do you know that's the optimal operating temp of the engine anyway?

 

Mine tends to hover just above the middle and when my bass hits it flutters up and down.. when I get stuck in traffic or going even the slightest incline it will raise just a bit... I want to get auterra and run the temp live to see if its really overheating a bit or if its just the needle going crazy.

 

That would be the best way as the oem temp guage is very inaccurate.

 

The radiator cap would only make a difference if the coolant was hitting flashover temperature. A different cap could have a different emergency release pressure. A better explanation would be a different thermostat. My orig. thermostat hovered around there, but when I replaced it I got one that opens at a little bit higher temp

 

yea the cap is only gonna raise your boiling point, it wont make your car run any cooler.

 

what's the heck is that blue thing in the middle of your gauge, also I noticed the warning light is on, what does that say, it looks like Engine light. Also, how is it possible going over 140 cuz there is no place in U.S unless a racetrack that you can try to achieve something illegal at that speed. If I tried something like that, I know i would be putting myself in danger that a tire could possible blow at that speed and cause the car to flip. I've seen that happen.

 

do you constantly want to own yourself over and over??

like someone already said...it raises the boiling point of coolant...doesn't make your coolant cooler. are you that dense that you can't understand that?

 

I am planning on getting an OIL pressure and Water autometer gauges but not until christmas. I actaully just bought a Pathfinder Throttle body and waiting to buy the Adaptor plate.i have an hour of dyno time setup this weekend i will dyno with the stock radiator cap and then dyno with the nismo. i hoping for about 5whp what do you guys think?















J/k

 

Which esteemed university is giving you a mechanical engineering degree?

 

10 CHAR

 

 

Thats his ABS light because he pulled his fuse. He can stop faster by out pumping the ABS controller

 

I goto Wentworth. Sorry i don't go to Tufts.

 

with my Nismo cap, the temp gauge is still at half way. Why would you think it only affects temp at the high speeds? terrible logic.

 

for the most part i believe that the Nismo cap is just for looks. won't do anything for performance, won't do anything to help your car...just for looks. I have it on and i don't care if it does a damn thing.

 

The other terrible logic is taking a damned picture at 140mph+ but that's a whole OTHER subject in the myrid of illogical things going on in this thread and in that pic.

 

ironically...he's pegging redline and i don't think i see that shift light going off.

 

And the ABS light is blaring. And...................

 

Hes driving with one hand...

 

It was turned off for photographic interfarence. Its just there for being there. i used to scare myself driving at night when it came on because it was bright blue and i would think its cops.

i love messing with you guys . take everything so seriously.

FYI JEFF 6500rpm in 5th gear in a 99 4th gen is about 155MPH based on the gearing,my stock tire size and final drive.

 

You actually think you can go 155? LMAO

 

hey if that's what the #'s say that's what i believe.

 

Don't forget to modulate those brakes really well w/o the abs off also.

 

He really used an a.ss load of gasoline adn decided to press the trip set button too. . .

 

Jeff don't you know that them nismo caps add about 50 horses...

 

Easy buddy those were two diffrent ocassions.the 120ishMPh is from thursday morning and the 140+mph is from saturday morning. the

 

I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic. . .

 

i guess not

 

One day a hunter goes in to the woods with his gun in the hopes of shooting a bear. After a few hours of tracking he felt a tap on his shoulder: it was a huge grizzly bear.

"You're hunting me?", said the bear. "Well, you got two choices. Either I maul you to death or I f*** you up the a**."

The hunter didn't want to die, so he dropped his drawers and let the bear f*** him. The bear left satisfied and the hunter went back to his cabin.

After a horrible nights sleep, the hunter decided that he was going to kill the bear, so he went out hunting. After a few hours of tracking the hunter once again felt a tap on his shoulder. Again, the bear gave him two options.

"Either I maul you to death or I f*** you up the a**." The hunter dropped his drawers, bent over, and let the bear have his way with him.

Back at his cabin that night, the hunter couldn't sleep and decided right then and there that he would go out, find the bear, torture him and and kill him! Not waiting for morning the hunter went out in search of his cave.

After tracking the bear for several hours he stood at the mouth of the cave where the bear slept. As he was creeping in, he felt the familiar tap on his shoulder,

"You're really not out here to go hunting, are you?"

---------------

You're really not here for the cars, are you?

 

That's a good one. I do like the maxima but i think i have taken my maxima as far as it can go. i am just here to help out the noobs and mess with you guys. i only got the radiator cap for looks, heck if i know if it lows temps. you find this just as entertaining as i do.

 

Maybe as far as YOU can take the maxima, but you haven't even gone 1/2 way on this thing. But you know........

 

yeah but i want something else.i would have loved to get mevi and an ECU but it ain't going to happen without me hacking up some stuff. i bought a PF throttle body so i will install that once i get the adapter plate. I will probally get an SAFC II since they are really cheap now and that will be it. Sure i can supercharge it or turbocharge it but that is $5000 i can use toward a nice car. i plan on keeping my max.its pretty quick and it's ok on gas i get about 23MPG.

 

this thread needs to die....really

 

You keep doing this and it's pretty pathetic.... post something, get knocked down because you think you're smarter than you are, try to defend yourself but again, you're not that smart so it fails, then you say you're here to "help the noobs" and "mess with us"

.......but you don't know more than noobs except how to install a hideous eyeball.

.......and we really know that whole "mess with you" thing is a cover for your lack of anything useful to add.

Go away.

 

 

Hacking up what stuff for a MEVI/ECU? I'm not an engineer, but I didn't "hack" anything up in the process of swapping mine.

The MEVI is a mechanical device, you should be okay with that part, but the ECU, it's electronic.. . . OOhh, might need a EE for that one.

 

For me to get the ECU to work i would have to "hack UP the harness" and move pins around but i thank you for sharing your experience.

 

i do help the noobs you guys just flame them then think your so useful

 

i would have to second that notion (no offense everyone)
