My heater core started leaking about a year ago so i disconnected it and all is good. Now my wife is driving the car and would like a working heater for her and the kids. I just havent got the time or effort to have a go at this job myself so i am looking for someone to do it for me.

Does anyone want to do fo it for me (cash paid of course) or can you recommend someone who may be up for the job?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Yes its a crap job. Three members spent best part of a day doing it. I just paid a sparky $300 to out and in the dash (it pretty much has to come out completely).

Go onnnn do it yourself, not too hard, did my R31 in 4-5hrs on Saturday, taken it easy with a few drink stops in between.

Nissans are easy to pull apart and put back together, they're just logically built.

Just need to pay attention to the bolt/screw positions and all will be fine.

I also got quoted $300 for the job at some radiator place in Murrumbeena near the train station.

$300 is a decent price for the job to be done.

mine went a yr ago too.

havent fixed it as yet, yes $300 quoted as well at a natrad radiator place, plus second hand core system

havent been too bothered with it as yet, but one day ................

Ska did this job a while back. Have a look in DIY or PM Ska.

Ska's DYI is what convinced me to get someone else to do it. I am too impatient to do that. I can just imagine finishing up with about 20 screws left over after i had put the dash back in.

Surely someone has had this job done by a workshop in Perth?

I might have someone who is going to do the job for me but is still need to get the parts.

mkk

Does anyone know where i can buy a new heater core from? I searched but couldnt find anything yet i remember someone posted up a link to place selling them a while back.

cheers

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
