GTT Heater Core

Hi guys, 

 

So I'm about 97% sure my heater core is cactus (white mist in cabin when the heater is on without actually getting much heat, coolant in passenger side footwell, smells like melon in/outside my car, coolant leaks from pipe going into passenger side firewall, yeah you get it).

I was going to just follow the beaut tutorial that a majority of SAU's use on here when encountering this problem, but im having a hard time trying to track down a place to buy a brand new replacement other than used ones on ebay (and I hate buying parts from ebay).

Am I missing something here or is this just one of those parts thatre hard to come by now?

 

Thanks in advance! Think ive got my work cutout for me with this one

I just got one from the radiator wholesalers (was about $70 many years ago - probably more now.. Have you tried your local radiator shop? Or another one? If they are not very helpful you might have to pull yours out and take it to show them what you are after. So far as I know they are all the same (Stagea, Skyline, possibly lots of other cars.).

Managed to get another heater core from Jack at Jack Phillips JDM which is on its way.

Took her for a spin today and she overheated something fierce so until the part comes in, I'm just considering re-routing the hoses and topping up with coolant. 

Are these the hoses I'll have to re-route?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
