do they just weld it or something if its a minor one?

mine was spraying "mist" out of it, so i think it was tiny (couldnt find the hole when i took it out). might take it somewhere and see what they can do

thanks

cheap fix buy a bottle of chemweld cost $20. drain out the old water in tank plugged it back up. pour the deed in fill wit water and done. chemweld seals any crank in radiator and engine

that is why I would NEVER put chemweld in my motor. Think about what that crap does to all the water galleries in the head. Think about what it does to your water pump. That is the cheapest nastiest way to fix a radiator and could possibly cost you your engine.

I've got a big wrap on chemiweld.

If you don't car about the long life of your engine it is a great stop gap, sorted out the farked head gasket on the ute perfectly.

Wouldn't be doing it to a turbo skyline though, and certaintly not for a radiator problem

just so theres no confusion, i replaced the radiator completely (see my first post) but was wondering what to do with the radiator i took out (ie if its not possible to fix then ill chuck it out)

"do they just weld it or something if its a minor one?"

They either solder or braise the hole, its a hard job because its gotta be perfectly clean but relativly simple. If the hole was caused by corosion its Farked but a stone could be the culprit and then its repairable.

Anyone who is too critical of Chemiweld, does'nt know how it works, or what effect it has in engine block [no bad or 'blocking'effects] This is a valid critisism of a number of similar products. That said, it's not meant as a radiator repair. I don't know for sure, but it may work on some current 'alloy' cores, but it definately will not seal a brass core. Unless they've recently changed the formulation, it says clearly in the instructions, that it's NOT for radiator repairs. Don't constru these remarks as a general approval of 'leak repair goos' generally. I agree that not a good thing except emergency repairs, and then everything needs a thorough clean out to be sure you're rid of it all.

open an egg in the top of the radiator :)

havnt any of you seen mythbusters

hehe I love that show, didn't they test putting sugar in a gas tank aswell in that episode? I was surprised the engine still worked fine

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
