okay im pretty new to this forum. i recently took my z out of storage and took her for a drive. went about 100 miles, then i found myself merging onto the highway right next to a sti, long story short, i brought it up to maybe 130ish, noticed my temp gauge rising. never hit the red. but it was on its way, took me a few miles of driving 65 to get it to get back in the middle where it usually is, i'm running stock boost, it does have a jdm motor, full of coolant, i cant seem to figure out why it wants to over heat on me, this just started to happen, last year it was fine.
water pump??
i didn't do the timing belt or water pump before installing the motor, i know, preventive maintenance. im hoping its something else. if there's anybody out there thats had this happen to them and u might know of a few tricks or hints before i rip into the water pump
