There are 2 hoses coming out of the bottom of my radiator that I'm not exactly sure were they're supposed to go to. I took the rad off about 3 months ago, and when I did I just cut those lines lol so yeah I now have no idea what they're for. They are 2 nipples attached to fairly small hoses, on opposite sides of the radiator.

Anyone know what these are and where they go? BTW this is the rad from a 93 S13 that used to be AT.

yeah but a lot of people don't cause then your oil is always the same temp as your water (at least it can't get any lower).Also correct me if I'm wrong but don't auto transmissios circulate fluid at a lower pressure than oil?
