Well ppls You don't want to buy a Genuine Nissan R32 GTS-T Radiator.

Sit down... $935.. OUCH.

Anyhow NATRAD Radiators can replace top tanks etc.

I discovered that my top radiator hose was a little loose.

I soon realised that the plastic where the hose slides over had collapsed.

Natrad radiators quoted:

$145 for the Radiator & Motor flush/Rod/pressure test & Thermostat inspection Test.

$95 for the Top tank that is aftermarket, the aftermarket is apparently better due to the plastic quality and thickness.

----

Autobarn also can get the Radiator hoses for these From GAtes.

Top hose is $19 and the Bottom hose is $30.

Thermostat. I bought one from Motor mates as the ones from the VL are the same. BUT.. it is a dodgy one as it doesn't close properly and the car in cooler weather doesn't heat up.

So I'm going to buy a Nissan One for $48. The VL one was $24.

Total Price is going to be $335.

AND.. my bleeder nipple has crossthreaded its self due to undoing it when the metal is really hot (soft).

And ppls don't use anything like gasket goo on the bleed nipple to stop any possible air leaks when troubleshooting.

That is probably what made it cross thread.

Joel i got a brand new radiator for my car as the top tank was stuffed, it cost me $320 inc GST, from the mob down the road who looked after me. It is the same as stock just has more cooling fins.

PWR ones are about $650 trade price for a 38mm core full alloy radiator.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
