Message	I replaced my heater core today. A few shops turned down the work and the Nissan dealers all wanted $1100-1300 for labor (parts not included). It took about 10 hours total and was fairly straight forward. I definitely recommend doing it yourself if you have the time and can figure out which end of a screw driver to use. Anyway, on to the pictures. Old and busted: New hotness (partially ready to go back into the car): All the stuff that had to come out: How the Z looked: From the other side: And on my list of Z related things to do for tomorrow: 1) Clean the old nasty coolant leak off the carpet 2) Coolant flush 3) Take my head unit in to get it repaired 4) Give the car a nice cleaning inside and out 5) Order a new shift knob and boot from Coz with the $1k I saved.
