Hi guys,

My R33 GTST got a serious problem now. I went for a mechanic to repair my clutch last week. Until yesterday i noticed the temperature for the car shoot up to "H". Before that i only smell some radiator coolant coming out from the aircon vent and the front demister.

So surprised that when i open the radiator cap, the whole rediator dried up. After i did some investigate, notice that it's actually leak out from the plastic under the dash board.WTF.... Wat's the coolant doing under my dashboard...??? The coolant wet the whole carpet of the passenger side.

I am so blur now.. Cause i dunno wat actually happen... Someone mind to tell me why would this happen plz? It's because they break it when they fix the clutch??

Basically the heater works using a small radiator in the aircon unit under the dash, air gets pushed past it and heats up!!

i had mine do the same thing about year and a half ago --- still; not fixed as it takes alot of time to fix, have to remove the dash completely then remove the heater core and get that replaced/fixed!!! will be getting that done next week so i'll post here on how much to fix etc!!

heater should still work abit but not well, and would suggest either getting it fixed now or bypassing the heater inputs in firewall til you can get them fixed!!

or you'll keep that not so nice smell in your car, and run the risk of doing damage to engine due to over heating!!

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
