I was playing with the camera and clicked off a neat pic (of my car, of course). I had a set of 1" adaptors left over from my z32 wheels, and, I decided to take a look-see how they'd do with the Saleens. Brought them right out to the edge of the fender well. Perfection...
VIVA LA Z31!

Took a short trip to your web page. Only checked out your z for now. I'm intriqued with your wheels. I don't recall seeing a set like them. Looks good including the "super comfy sheepskin covers".
BTW...
I tried to do a "copy / paste" from your site and had my hand slapped. That was a funny error code.

Toxic chemicals??? Would that be air conditioning refrigerant, like maybe R-12? That's too easy to get rid of (I'll say no more). Or were they talking about antifreeze? Still, no big disposal deal.Originally Posted by CrAzY_84na

If your Z was overheating with the heater core bypassed, that tells me the radiator is clogged. The core is nothing more than a little radiator and with it "off line" the big radiator is not getting the job done.
With another $1,025 invested you can't afford to drive it off a cliff. Besides, you never drive a car off a cliff, you push it.

oh yea...you make a good point
ill look into the radiator
thanks

This one is to JohnZboy, I have just spent the last 30sec with a bottle of lotion and your cars picture. I want to thank you.
J/K. To Crazy84, listen dont believe that your car is going to cost 1025 to fix because its not. I took my car to the dealership once because I couldnt figure out why it kept over heating. They told me I had busted hoses, broken water pump, stripped timing chain, and a melted radiator cap. the cost was going to be 1200. WTF. I just changed my hoses, had the timing belt replaced and I had never heard of a radiator cap melting. When I saw the radiator cap was still in tact and whole I realized that these guys are in the money making business and not all of them are there to help you. Do some research and look around before you PUSH your car over a cliff. theres a place called Dynamic Motorsports off Arden try them and ask for Ed he likes Hondas but he knows his stuff.

Don't even bother trying to find a radiator at a junkyard. It's damn near impossible. They usually junk 'em when they rip the engine out.Originally Posted by CrAzY_84na

ooooo k...scratch that idea!
check your hoses too. you might not even need to replace it yet. I dont know what the extint of the problem is but Im sure that its just your heat core. Sounds like the same problem I had when mine was over heating. Also check to see if there is any fluid leaking on the pavement. If there is any dark spots or light spots. Your radiator should be fine though. zr8d is right. It would be hard to find a radiator at a junk yard or pick n pull in sac. If anything you should go aftermarket with fluidyne. Costs a pretty penny but its worth it.

ThankZ. I like the idea and you can be original with the design. I dont know about painting the engine bay yellow though 
Where did you pick up those tail light covers?
Where can I get those tail light covers?

I was screwing around in paint...i think that they would look better, with a more oval look to them...

When my car was over heating i had the radiator rebuilt. It cost me 100.00 and that solved the issue. I do have to put my 180 therm back in cause it is spring now. The 192 just is to hot this time of year. But I would just remove the radiator get it rebuilt and see what happens. If your timing chain was stripped your car would run like crap. The only other thought I would have on over heating is a head gasket. The Heater core has really no effect on the cooling of the car. Like it was stated earlier it is just a little radiator. Also have you check your thermostat to make sure it is working properly?Originally Posted by WallZ
