Read their website and I might buy one depending on if I can find a new manifold for cheaper or a new pipe cheaper

I am going to hook the old radiator up today or tomorrow and flush the system. Haven't checked the pump yet or the thermostat

I might pick a thermo up at the same time as a new pipe

+ I always ran quality coolant but it must have been from previous owners. I only had the car about 6 months

FIXED :D

I got a pipe from nat rad for $5 and banged the shit into place!

Used a bit of gasket glue as well

Also tested my thermostat at the same time and checked for extra rust.

non to be seen worship.gif

Now just waiting for the gasket glue to seal and then I will be driving like a granny again

^^^ This is good to hear, this. Hope all is good.

Nat Rad where? The Gibbs place in Belco I mentioned is also a Nat Rad & they seem to know their schnitzel.

Apart from leaving a hose clamp off the overflow and chucking my old thermo in the bin against my wishes (retrieved),

I would deff use them again for sure.

Cheers guys

From all the welsh plugs I could see and feel they seemed fine so I guess only time will tell.

Flushed the whole thing as well like you said Sin

So yeah all in all it might be fine

Thanks of course to wilderboy who is my new housemate and a mechanic that knows his shit

do you have any pics of how you fixed this, i just took off my top radiator hose cause it had a small leak, it didnt look as bad as yours but near enough

wondering how i should go about fixing it as well,

Didn't take pics sorry

But I went to Nat rad and they gave me a bit of old pipe they had laying around that was similar diameter and I smashed that in the spot with a hammer

thanks did you find lots of rusted crap when you flushed it?

did you have any temp issues at the time?

my cars temp gauge sits at around half way thats what made me start to look into it, found the leak then took the pipe off

Nah not much rust at all.

It chewed at that pipe because of the type of metal it was. I haven't had heating issues at all and my gauge stays about 1/4 of the way up.

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
