Hi Guys

I have a crack in the top tank of my R34 GTT (1999) radiator, i can get a second hand radiator for about $150. but was wondering if this is a job you can do yourself

if you dont have the best car maintance knowledge?

Has anyone done this before, the car has a thermo fan on the front of the radiator also.

can anyone drop some knowledge on me

Cheers Brent

Its an easy job to replace the actual radiator itself but MAKE SURE you bleed the cooling system correctly, if you are not confident then dont do it!

As for the fan, if you mean in front of the radiator then its probably the A/C fan you are referring too, there should be a condenser between the fan and the radiator?

Thanks for getting back to me,

Yes mate it is the aircon radiator in front, didn't realise how thin the actual radiator was

As for bleeding it is it just from one of the lowest hoses or some where else?

Cheers Brent

there is a bleed screw up near the plenum. do a search for threads on how to bleed the system

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
