Well guys after a few weeks of my S14 being down, I'll have it running again shortly.

I had a problem with the stock radiator when I cracked the endtank where the upper house connects. There seems to be a leak around the waterpump too, so just to be safe, I'm replacing the radiator with a Koyo aluminum, upgrading to a Nismo thermostat and a stock water pump.

I ordered from bnecustoms in california, and they gave me a good price on everything.

Is there anything that I should be watching out for when performing this work myself? Any pitfalls to be aware of?

bleed bleed bleed the system correctly since most people come back asking why am I overheating and 99.9% of the time it's because of a not properly bled system...but Im sure you already knew that.

Bump.

Anyone know more about bleeding the system?

My supplier doesn't have the radiator, anyone have them in stock?

I replaced everything this weekend and everything seems to be fine. I replaced the waterpump, thermostat, and radiator.

I went with a copper radiator (metal end tanks) and its a direct factory replacement for the KA.

I'm not getting any white smoke out of the tail pipe, so I hope and pray that everything is just fine.
