okay.. i know this might be a newbie question.. but what do i have to take out.. from what i see.. i have to take out the e-fans, cold air intake, maybe the battery and some other little parts..

anyone done it before? and know what to take out and etc so i dont f up too bad.. k thanks

 

s13 or s14? you have to remove the radiator upper and loer hoses, intake , and maybe the overflow resevior. not the battery. ohh yea and e fans.

 

s13

 

two 10 mil. nuts on the brackets, and the hoses and its that easy.

 

ok
step 1-remove intake
step 2-remove fan shrouds
step 3-undo upper and lower radiator hose clamps and remove hose from overflow tank
step 4-remove 2 10mm bolts from radiator brackets on the front radiator support (use wd40 or go slowly beacause they tend to be rusted out and break off)
step 5-remove radiator by lifting up (being careful not to beat it up to bad..)
and there you go your radiator is out ive done it a bajillion times and its the same every time lol

~edit~ unplug your efans also but you dont have to take them off of your radiator..

 

becareful when you are taking it out/ putting it in, its really easy to drag it against stuff and run the risk of messing it up.
its not that hard of a job to do, you just have to be careful

 

k thx everyone

 

just be careful removing the parts and installing it..signs of a Nissan radiator hose beginning to fail, is cracking, and the obvious a leaking radiator hose. if your radiator hose shows signs of wear from cracking, you need to replace the hose immediately. if this is the case it is good practice to replace all the hoses in your Nissan engine.

 

i'd say replace them anyway... you're gonna be down there already and its better to be safe then sorry
