R33 Overheating

[Toby66]

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

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

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

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
