Welcome to the club and thanks for the pics.

 

Sounds like the first job for you then would be get a new thermostat fitted :thumbup1:

Welcome to the Forum, Always wondered what a ZX would look like in the Gulf colours!... now I know!!

 

Looks clean and you should get a lot of fun out of it.

My guess is your heater matrix is bypased. Check if there are two hoses going from the back of the engine through firewall

If your car doesn't overheat your thermostat is good

Doesn'n overheat,i will check today the hoses.

Ok,i check for the 2 hoses,and they are disconect from the engine bay.Now i ask ;Whay somebody do theat?,is possible the heater core to leak?,or people do this at this car frecvently?

is possible the heater core to leak?,

 

Yes - leaky heater matrix is relatively common. It's a really difficult job which is why people bypass instead of replace. But it can be done.

Common bodge that.

The proper z32 matrix isn't cheap, however you can get one off a primera I believe that is the se or very similar for much cheaper, some research required.

Replacing heater matrix was my first job on my zx :) you'll end up like this

 

Look at all that junk!

It's possible to change the heater core without removing the dash. In fact my car is over at Lee Dent's in Shrewbury right now to have that job done. Gonna go pick it up in an hour

 

And you are in Birmingham, so not a million miles away - you can find Lee Dent's profile on here

I already put the dashboard out:)),and the heater core,now i need to buy and replace

I dont know how i will connect the hoses in the engine bay,because there is no space to reach them

Welcome to the club Mr Blue.....

 

....And if you're in Birmingham, the best place to take your car is Jeff at Zedworld - he's a trader on here and has years of experience in sorting all things 300zx related. Check out his section in the traders' forums!

 

He'll sort a heater matrix quicker than anyone - without removing all the dash etc....:wink:

 

Richard:cool:

It is certainly tight down the back of the engine, careful use of 12" long pliers does the job that's how I replaced mine, pesky pipes.

I dont know how i will connect the hoses in the engine bay,because there is no space to reach them

 

Lots of space i know cos i done mine :)

Now,somebody can give me a photo and show where to connect both hoses from heater core in the engine bay?Because how i say ,i buy the car with them disconected.Thanks a lot for answers

If you look down the back there are two hard pipes about 16mm diameter, you connect upto these. Have you got the preformed replacement hose?

And they cross over, they join up left onto right and right onto left.

Ok,cheers ,tomorow i will have a look
