Hey guys/girls,

My r33 series 2 was leaking some liquid down by the passenger side feet area the other day and then my whole car overheated a few days after

steam going everywhere but i am pretty sure its not my radiator because when i got it towed home the next day i filled my radiator right up and left it runnig

for 20mins and water level did not change not sure whats going on with it any ideas?

My brother said it may have something to do with the heatercore but dont know?

Cheers

Your bro is right. Dash out job, & heater cores usually run around the $800 mark new. If your going to have a crack at it yourself, get a repair manual from Ebay ($10) & read up on it, especially when it comes to airbags!!!!

not a dash out job, you can pull them out from underneath the dash just pull the right angle elbows off them and they slide right out

there is a guuide here in the diy

300zx heatercores are the same, they are 250-300 each new from most radiator shops

Not a problem!

that way you can drive your car and gradually deal with the heater core... check out the for sale forum, there are guys that strip R33s occassionally and the core can be had for cheap

or quick fix for now, just loop off the heater hoses with a metal pipe.

worked on my Stagea/r34 wagon-apparently heater cores are about 60-80$ from Nissan & u dont have to take dash out to replace the core

check the thread in this link...

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
