Well ,

as a few people know my heater core died on GOR cruise and well because ive been to busy up till yeste i never did any thing about it (Plus i was dredding removing dash)

but upon closer inspection i relised that nissan engineer brillant cars and to my suprise i had the blower motor , a/c evapourator and heater core out in 30 mins woohoo.also this job was very easy beacause my a/c was degassed.

now my dilema now is that i need a replacement heater core and i dont want to be buyin one from my nissan dealer because they want $341 trade which im not prepared to pay

reason for A/c being degassed is that is my a/c compressor died in the ass as well.

i was hoping some one could point me in the way of a second hand compressor and a new heater core for my line.

cheers in adance

P.S i will take re- assemble Photos for all because this is such an easy job for all Especially if It is the O-Rings leaking on your heater core

Car is A R33 series 1.5 1995 cheers

30mins is quick to get the dash out, never mind the heater core, took me much longer than that, and i thought i did it quick :(

The dash wasn't to hard, but getting the heaterbox in/out was a pain in the ass.

Just get a new copper heater core from NATRAD... think its teh same as 300zx... just take your old one to your local natrad dealer and show them and they can sell you a new one, not expensive, can't remember the price, $100 or $150 maybe?

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
