Well ,

as a few people know my heater core died on GOR cruise and well because ive been to busy up till yeste i never did any thing about it (Plus i was dredding removing dash)

but upon closer inspection i relised that nissan engineer brillant cars and to my suprise i had the blower motor , a/c evapourator and heater core out in 30 mins woohoo.also this job was very easy beacause my a/c was degassed.

now my dilema now is that i need a replacement heater core and i dont want to be buyin one from my nissan dealer because they want $341 trade which im not prepared to pay

reason for A/c being degassed is that is my a/c compressor died in the ass as well.

i was hoping some one could point me in the way of a second hand compressor and a new heater core for my line.

cheers in adance

P.S i will take re- assemble Photos for all because this is such an easy job for all Especially if It is the O-Rings leaking on your heater core

Car is A R33 series 1.5 1995 cheers

30mins is quick to get the dash out, never mind the heater core, took me much longer than that, and i thought i did it quick :(

The dash wasn't to hard, but getting the heaterbox in/out was a pain in the ass.

Just get a new copper heater core from NATRAD... think its teh same as 300zx... just take your old one to your local natrad dealer and show them and they can sell you a new one, not expensive, can't remember the price, $100 or $150 maybe?

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
