so i need to remove the radiator from my 250t rs four which has been converted into a 6 speed manual out of a 350z.

it is still using the stock radiator so it has lines going into the radiator for cooling the transmission from when it was an auto.

So, are the transmission lines connected at the bottom to the two brass fittings? (photo attached for reference)

these have nothing attached to them so i am not sure what they are for, other than that.

i think i may be mistaking the transmission fluid lines for something else as the lines I want to remove  are on the passengers side of the radiator and coming off the side of it.

this photo shows the lines i need to remove.

 Any help would be appreciated. 

cheers

You no longer have CVT (continuously variable transmission) so not sure what you are worried about buddy. I have put a 300zxTT auto in my skyline and have installed a large cooler and i'm not using the little standard trans heater in the standard radiator. Maybe you are overthinking this.

The new radiator you have is an automatic radiator, it is common practice to supply this radiator as a replacement part for manual vehicles, It saves stocking Two types of radiator in their store.

If you want to keep air conditioning remove that single fan, then remove that condenser and I hope there is a fitting on your new radiator to bolt it back on, Then reassemble and reconnect the lines from the compressor and take to aircon specialist for regas.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
