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?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
