Anyone know of a reputable mechanic / shop in the GTA area that are knowledgeable in 240sx’s?

I have a kouki SR20 and the water temp keeps jumping after running for a while and I would like to get it checked out. And other regular maintenance work. Thanks!

Check the coolant temp sensor or the thermostat.

Good luck ron.

Is there a release valve/nut around the thermostat? I know for the KA it is right on top of the thermostat.

the release nut sits on the intake manifold, where the upper rad hose clamps onto. I believe its an inch or two to the right of the upper rad hose
