My Z was over heating, I was driving it hard with out the front bumper. I assume that's a big part of my problem, but I have a new water pump radiator some of the coolant lines, radiator cap and thermostat.

Any ideas on how to help? I assume an electric fan would help. But I might be missing something simple. Thanks for the help!

Since it sounds like you are, uh, more of a #yolo kinda dude… did you manage to 'burp' the cooling system properly after you did the rad, water pump, etc? The z31 setup is pretty picky, if you have any bubbles trapped in there you're gonna overheat, guaranteed. New rad and efans will not help with that one bit.

Good news is all you need to do it is patience.
