So I was driving with a mate to my brother's place on Saturday when I noticed the temp needle getting too friendly with the "H".
Pulled over to see coolant leaking from the top of the radiator AND from the bottom but couldn't see and holes/splits.
Hovered around 40kph (gave enough airflow to bring needle down to normal op temp) back to mates place.
On the way back from Bro's house, picked up some Chem-i-weld from Autobarn, filled up radiator with water & added Chem-i-weld as instructed.
Drove home (10mins) with no leaks.
tested the car on Sunday and still no leaks, even today there are no leaks (touch wood).
BUT, i know this is a band-aid fix, so I checked FAST. NM35 radiator part #21460−AQ800
Nissan price $786.
PWR custom ~$1k
Purchased Yahoo Auctions (via Import Monster) $498 delivered for a NEW one but with the normal 8 week wait.
hmm, anyone know of a GOOD radiator shop in Melbourne's SE.
Not sure I want to "repair" due to the Chem-i-Weld that is in there, but it looks like buying new is just waaaayyyy too expensive.
