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.

 

Yeah, I kno it is tough but ya gotta keep lookin'. Dont even worry about the dash right now. That is an easy fix. z31.com has the way to fix it right there on their site. As for the engin problems your havin' shop arround. Ill talk to a few buddies of mine and get back in contact with you since were close if you want to continue with the legacy of the Z.

 

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.

 

Hey johnZboy, I know this a bit off subject but may I ask what you did to get your tail lights like that? Because it looks really nice

 

ThankZ. I like the idea and you can be original with the design. I dont know about painting the engine bay yellow though

 

Where can I get those tail light covers?

 

Somebody slept through class.

How to do wierd stuff to your tail-lights, too...

 

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?
Just some idaes to try before shelling out 1 months pay.
