So I was driving with a mate to my brother's place on Saturday when I noticed the temp needle getting too friendly with the "H".

Pulled over to see coolant leaking from the top of the radiator AND from the bottom but couldn't see and holes/splits.

Hovered around 40kph (gave enough airflow to bring needle down to normal op temp) back to mates place.

On the way back from Bro's house, picked up some Chem-i-weld from Autobarn, filled up radiator with water & added Chem-i-weld as instructed.

Drove home (10mins) with no leaks.

tested the car on Sunday and still no leaks, even today there are no leaks (touch wood).

BUT, i know this is a band-aid fix, so I checked FAST. NM35 radiator part #21460−AQ800

Nissan price $786.

PWR custom ~$1k

Purchased Yahoo Auctions (via Import Monster) $498 delivered for a NEW one but with the normal 8 week wait.

hmm, anyone know of a GOOD radiator shop in Melbourne's SE.

Not sure I want to "repair" due to the Chem-i-Weld that is in there, but it looks like buying new is just waaaayyyy too expensive.

A couple of months ago I had the top tank in the radiator crack.....cost me $190 to get it all fixed.....I also priced a new radiator from Hornsby Nissan.....$405 approx delivered(10 days delivery).....what Nissan dealer did you go to? Did you want me to confirm the price?

P.S. If the price is right I can pick it up and send it via TNT if you want

Just got off the phone with Ferntree Gully Nissan, must have changed their Parts guys, quoted me $620.

Can you confirm the price & let me know how much to send it down?

I think that I will also get a quote for repair, although if top & bottom tank have cracks....

OK.....with tax's it is $532(sorry for the miss calculation before....I didn't include the tax's)......shipping via TNT to you from me is about $20 on road express. I just PM'd my number to you. If you want to go ahead with it give me a call.

cheers

hmmm.... Very interesting.

Wold that mean that the M35/V35 radiator is the same as the Z33 350z?

maybe....maybe not....the core is probably the same but.....it's all the mounts and input/output lines for the radiator/gearbox that will be different.

Thanks for the quick shots Chris, seems to be a different item to M35/V35.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
