hi guys was wondering if there was a after market heavy duty heater core the same as the alloy aftermarket radiator if not was thinking of having one made if I can trying to not have to do this job again was wondering if I did this would it cause other problems or is this a good idea thoughts please
I don't believe there is a heavy duty one. It may be a Mitsubishi model that fits. Someone will let you know. Carcraze sell them I think. Really if it is your first one in a 20 + year old car it's not that bad. I always disconnect my earth when not being used (which is all the time) as it stops stray currents.
Thank you twin terror for your info I’ve brought the car 2 and a half years ago no rego I’ve slowly been emptying my acc in to it lol changed every air and water pipes I could find with blue silicon hoses polished rocker covers painted them anodised blue polished the intake my self at home that took ages as I only have the weekend to do things . aftermarket alloy 3 core radiator curved blade thurmo fan with the most cmf I cold find and some other goodies it is nerly ready for rwc I’ve put a lot of time and cash in to it the person that had it before me loved red silicon it was the main fix on the poor car Ive fixed all that with proper gaskets and seals everything was leaking is now fixed just trying to save myself the headache of doing this in the future can’t wait to get it going and come to a club meet would love to see what others have done to there’s O yes I brought the car in Queensland and drove it to vic not realising it was as bad as it was don’t know how it got us home.
Half the fun of owning a Zed is the trip (adventure) home. A lot of guys have had some epic adventures home over the years. What part of Vic are you in ?. The heater core is a pain in the arse but can be done with the dash in although easier and probably quicker with it out. Some of the guys have mastered the dash out way and can do it very quick. Cheers
I’m in Melbourne south eastern sub the trip home was fun no plates permit only was like track day lol dident miss a beat this is my first z32 I’m hooked I use to fix them back in the 90s have driven a fue we Owen 2 hsv when the z is done I’m selling my hsv the z is original with mags and a kit I want to do engine upgrades later on
If auto I think you can replace the heater core without removing the dash. Mine was a manual so had to remove the dash as the clutch assembly gets in the way
Yes mate mine is auto one day I might convert it thank u for the info I’ll have a look in the next couple of days I am on 3 weeks Holliday to finish up the z and hopefully get it on the road I’m in the middle of mounting a trans cooler between the ac fan and the ac condenser it’s like the spot was made for it it slots straight in no hassle
Here is a fue pictures of my car just did the trans cooler it’s finely takeing shape not much now finishing up a fue loose ends under the bonnet then it’s the heater core late this week I’m on Holliday’s for 3 weeks so hopefully I can finish it up
bret im using old socks now over any pipework so there are no nooks and crannies for a stray bolt or nut to sit waiting to drop into pipework when i pullout the rag. get that thing on the road before your holiday is over.
Yes that’s the plan looking for an alloy welded thank 3 core heater core now that’s the last big job then it’s just a fue loose ends hopefully depending on wot the rw guy picks I hope nothing lol
