Willans 4 point harness

Pic 1: Willans harness

I bet most if not all motorsports fan will have heard of Willans. They are the world’s leading harness manufacturer. You'll be able to see their product in all forms of motorsports – from club racing and rallying to Formula One and Nascar. Yeap even Formula One teams uses Willans harness.

I got a Willans 4 point harness to complement the Recaro RS-G seat. Well, might as well right? Afterall, the factory 3 point seat belt will be massively brushing against the Recaro RS-G shoulder support. It's going to definitely worn out that portion of the seat mighty quick if I keep on using that.

Pic 2: Camlock

The version I got is with the Camlock twist buckle quick release version and it work wonders. With a quick twist and all the harness straps unbuckles itself. It even has provision in the twist buckle to accept a fifth harness strap to convert it to a five point or six point harness.

The downside is that it's now a mighty chore just to get strapped in. And once you're strapped in you can't even reach for the glovebox let alone to look over your shoulders when you wanna reverse the car. Eeekk!

Here are some pictures of the harness.

What do you do when you have a Nissan GT-R in your garage and enjoys working on 'em? Well you need bling tools and of course a accompanying bling toobox too.

This is a limited edition Nissan GT-R 10-drawer toolbox from Snap-On. The toobox are made available exclusively to Nissan GT-R owners only and are sold through certified GT-R dealerships in the United States. Only 635 units are available, and each comes with Nissan GT-R graphics and a custom-etched name plate in addition to all the standard Snap-On goodness one gets with these stainless steel toolboxes.

If you're wondering on the asking price, it is a whopping USD$5,971! Yikes!!

For Sale: R34 Headlights #03

I've another set of R34 headlights for sale. As with the previous 2 sets that I have sold; this unit is in excellent condition. It comes with all wiring sockets, bulbs, HID ballast and all brackets are in place. Those that have missed out on those 2 sets that's for sale, do not let this offer go past.

Mishimoto Aluminium Radiator

Actually before I busted my radiator, I've already started looking around for a suitable replacement. Koyo was the obvious choice due to its popularity and availability. Couldn't afford higher end ones from ARC tho. :(

I've also been eyeing this blue anodized aluminium radiator from GReddy. I think it'll look smashing in the engine bay. Well, it complements my GReddy Oil Cooler and the NEO engine cover nicely. Both of which is also blue in colour. Excellent!

BUT just too bad that the cost is a little too high for me thus it is the plan was scrapped. :(

Pic 1: Mishimoto packaging

No idea what struck over me but I started looking around for alternative brands and that's when I come across Mishimoto radiators from the USA. Hmmm ..... yes there's a Western brand in the JDM-ness of the ER34. So anyway, it comes competitively priced and does the job really well. The plus point is that every single radiator is pressure tested prior to leaving the factory and there's a lifetime warranty on it as well.

Good enough of an assurance to me. :)

The Mishimoto radiator also comes with it's own 1.3kg/cm2 radiator cap. So guess my Nismo Racing Radiator Cap (Part No. 21430-RS0122) is now for sale. :P

Pic 3: Mishimoto R34 Aluminium Radiator

Since I'm changing radiator, I've decided to flush out the whole cooling system. All the previous water and coolants were flushed out, yes even those in the engine block are all out. I got 'em replaced with pure distilled water. I had to use loads of them in order to rid of the previous fluids. With pure distilled water in the cooling system, I added no coolant in but just a bottle of Redline Water Wetter.

Pic 3: Redline Warer Wetter

"Water Wetter" is designed to reduce hot spots in your cylinder head. It does this by reducing the build-up of water vapor in any superheated areas. The bad thing about having hot spots in your cylinder head (read combustion chamber) is that they can promote pre-ignition - definitely a bad thing. Any sharp edges in your combustion chamber (around valve seats for example) may tend to get very hot (even red hot) during operation. These areas of the combustion chamber can then form local hot spots in the cooling passages. Thus, even though your bulk coolant temperature is well below its boiling point (i.e. your gauge reads just fine), there may be localized boiling in some regions of the coolant tract.

This localized boiling can cause a layer of water vapor to form over the hot spot. This vapor forms an insulative blanket and prevents heat from leaving this area, thus making the hot spot even worse. But reducing the surface tension of the water makes it easier for vapor bubbles to leave the surface of the cylinder head and allows the bubbles to convect heat away from the area. Something that changes the surface tension of a liquid is called a "surfactant". It does not take very much surfactant to significantly change the surface tension of water. Hence, you do not need to add very much "Water Wetter" in order for it to do its job.

An additional benefit of using "Water Wetter" (in conjunction with 100% water) in you cooling system is that water has an extremely high heat capacity. Thus a gallon of 100% water can carry more heat away from you engine than an equivalent gallon of 50/50 water and coolant. Water also has a high thermal conductivity which increases the convection of heat away from the coolant passage walls and into the free stream of the liquid flowing through the passages.

"Water Wetter" does not increase the boiling point of water. Standard automotive coolant does increase the boiling point of the mixture above that of 100% water. But remember that if your cooling system is operating properly, it should never get hot enough to boil (I mean BOIL, not just localized boiling). Raising the boiling point of the coolant in passenger cars is primarily a safety measure, so that if the cooling system is over stressed (climbing a hill on a hot day with AC on), it will not boil over. On performance cars the primary duty of the cooling system is to keep the engine in its optimum temperature range. This is best accomplished with 100% water, because its high heat capacity makes it very efficient at transferring heat.

Check out the below video which explains it perfectly.
