HELP! R33 running 'hot' after coolant temp sensor change
neopowered34 replied to neopowered34's topic in General Maintenance
Update: Put in a brand new OEM temp sensor and it's back to reading what it was (see pic below) To me this seems WAY too low. I am still waiting on my multimeter to arrive. Any 33 owners out there agree this reading looks low? -
Cash ready, type-m r33s s2 front lip wanted, will also consider bar with lip. message me with a price and details, cheers.

I will for sure, can't believe it's taken me this long to get one....though my stock 33 has been super reliable so this is really my first issue that I couldn't solve easily -

Just ordered a new OEM coolant temp sensor and a multimeter, sending back the Tridon brand one...hope this gives me a result. Will look into a aftermarket gauge to cross check just incase, well worth it to prevent engine overheating! Edit: If interested, $32 posted here, about $20 less than Kudos https://goodstate.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=w192561392204 -

Yep coolant is fine and looks fairly new. I think the actual temp is okay given i can touch the radiator cap and coolant hoses after driving yet the gauge shows full deflection toward hot. -

What do you mean? I’m not that clued on with your original post man, how does one measure resistance -

I might try giving the OEM sensor a really good clean and see if that changes anything, hopefully it can be revived -

Well it rises to half very quickly and then after say 10 minutes of driving will hit the top, stagnates at half for a little while. I’m hoping it’s not because I used an after marker temp sensor (tridon brand) -
G'day everyone So for a while now my car has shown the same coolant temp which to me has always been low, so I finally decided to put in a new coolant temp sensor and WHOA it's now reading full hot, but the weird thing is my car, despite reading that high doesn't 'feel' hot. No 'boiling' water no loss of coolant no milky stuff in oil radiator can be touched without burning me no smoke/fumes/burning smell What on earth could be causing this? I might purchase a new radiator and thermostat but before I do, anyone got any advice on troubleshooting the issue? Car is completely stock besides exhaust. Last weekend I changed plugs and did valve cover gaskets as well. The before and after images of the temp with the new and old coolant temp sensor.
