G'day

As the heading states Im losing water from the heater coil inside my car and have to keep refilling my radiator to keep temps down. Has anybody changed one of these before. Im pretty sure that Ill have to take apart the dash to access it and was wondering if I could save some time f**king around if somebody tat has done it before.

Thanks.

Michael

Cheers mate,

Lol.... Ill hopefully get it done before winter kicks in, might just bypass it for now, and change it when I find the time, I hardly use the heater and AC anyway.

you dont have to take out your dash to do this job if you dont mind degassing your ac in a R33 GTST anyway. Once your ac is degassed there is 2 big nuts on the ac lines at the firewall and 4 or so 10mm bolts inside and the ac evap core will come out and you can get to the heater core then. is a bit of a prick of a job but it can be done.

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
