CNBZ34 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 So I have the chip, now I need a 180 degree thermostat for my 92 Z34. Where can I get one? No Go at NAPA or Schucks. Quote
1990lumina Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 Every part store I've been to has them in stock...try another store maybe?? I run a 180*F in summer, and switch to a 195*F in winter so I have some heat lol! Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 There are a TON of 180* thermostats on ebay for like $15 each IIRC. Quote
sl3196 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 If the store doesnt list them just found out the size of your stock thermo. Then find a 180* in the size. The size in mm should be printed on your t-stat. Quote
jeremy Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 I was planning on swapping in a new thermostat on the Monte and I wanted to know if there was any special procedure to properly bleed the coolant system on the LQ1 after replacement Quote
chadz34 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 I was planning on swapping in a new thermostat on the Monte and I wanted to know if there was any special procedure to properly bleed the coolant system on the LQ1 after replacement Kinda, once you put the new stat in place and you get it bolted down use the bleed valve on top of the housing....loosen it until fluid comes out and then tighten it.

jeremy Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 idoit question of the night: I open the bleed valve when the car is running, right? Quote
jeremy Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 I told you it was a dumb question I can't remember the last time that I changed a t-stat in a car with a bleeder valve Quote
chadz34 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 I told you it was a dumb question I can't remember the last time that I changed a t-stat in a car with a bleeder valve Meh, that wasn't the DUMBEST question you could have asked sadly. Quote
97loudcut Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 I told you it was a dumb question I can't remember the last time that I changed a t-stat in a car with a bleeder valve There's cars without bleeder vavles? Quote
1990lumina Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 I told you it was a dumb question I can't remember the last time that I changed a t-stat in a car with a bleeder valve There's cars without bleeder vavles? My RX-7 would be one of them..., then again, the thermostat on my RX-7 isn't the highest point in the cooling system so it really doesn't matter Quote
