Dear all,

I am thinking of following your example and buy a GTR. I have driven one and I think I know what to expect. However I will drive the car in the summer only and in Greece with average temp of 40 degrees. I will be grateful if you could advice what to look for taking into account the high temperatures.
best wishes

doc: It gets hot here in Southren California but the A/C has worked well. I spend some effort on that issue. I think thaT some effort in isolating the water tubes away from the car is in order. I ran mine very low and on mounts away from the car. I also wrapped them with header wrap. a more elegant effort would be to ceramic coat the tubes as if they were headers I used a Ureathane foam product in the floors and behind the driver. See the recent blurb on suggestions for a build from about two days ago. Where are you in Greece I will be there in Athens in October. Lee
