Here is a link to the manual and trouble shooting charts.

Service Manual - Coolant System

Good luck!

 

I have done all of that, most of it, new hoses, new radiator, new thermostat, diagnostics of water pump and head gasket, Im thinking its the heater core. I have no hot air in cabin at all. Do I need to replace heater core?

 

edit -> didn't see this post...

which coolant pipe was bent? the one that runs along the RHS of the motor?

off the top of my head, I would say the heater core could be clogged. If you have ability, unhook the feeds to it and try to flush it with a garden hose. If it is blocked, it may be the cause of your problem <- that would only be if the heater core was in direct circulation.

edit2: looked a the circ chart. a blocked heater core would not cause your car to continually over heat. It isn't in direct circulation. It is off an branch and wouldn't block flow

again, I have a mechanic that will be able to figure it out. it is hard to diagnose over the net. shoot me a PM

 

Happy New years Gentlemen! Its going to be a great one!!!

 

My car is not overheating it is only doing it after like 15 min of driving, its off and on.. how can i clean heater core.. coolant flush?? I dont wanna take my dash apart

wow i just realized it said ive only been on here for not even three years... ive really gotten a lot done to my car in the three years ive owned it. year#1- rims that didnt fit. yr#2-supercharge, full exhaust, gauges, clutch and flyweel, plugs, all the stuff that comes with sc'ing your car. yr#3- volks,bodykit,refinished headlights,stoptech rotors and pads, stainless steel brake lines, changed both clutch cylinders.

plans for year#4- suspension and wrx stuff.

 

I live in Bloomington is there anyone that can put a thermostat in for me? I dont have any tools and not familiar with the car

 

didn't you already swap your stat? If you did and you still have an issue, it is not your thermostat. I was sick for a couple days, but can help you out if you can get your car to me.

maybe tomorrow night or saturday

 

So I am still alive and out of the hospital, benefit to being in medicine they released me on my own regard....for those I didnt text, my SHO decided a blown tire @ high speeds plus some black ice was a good way to flip me and bro approx 5-9 times. Bad concussions, cracked sternum, broken nose and ribs etc....long story short, don't depend on airbags bc they wont help when they dont go off. The sho was a fun winter project and that Cosworth v8 was the most fun engine I have ever ripped apart, but in its departure, once able to move and drive again finally....
Proud owner on "new" 1998 maxima se...always liked em ad found a good deal. So thats my story and new winter ride.
See neurosurgeon next Friday due to abnormal MRI's. Hospital gave me month off, still teaching at university so at least I have some $$$ coming in the door bc I just signed on new house in West Bloom. Moving outta EP yet again.

 

That is very unfortunate man. Sorry to hear.


And good job leaving EP. This town is run by idiots.

 

what a story... at least you are a live. could have been worse. Look at the bright side, you now own a maxima

for all you evo haters -> I am heading off to the gym. taking the evo, might make a stop by the farm for some winter fun. Keep that in mind when you guys are driving your winter beaters

 

Tru to all the above, very fortunate I am only limping, and not relearning to walk!
Love maximas, glad I got it...sweet lil ride....will throw up some pix when I am more mobile.
No evo hate here, I have grown to the point over the years that everyone's got their own ride and suits em for whatever they need...plus no one shall ever doubt the Z in your garage and where the luv lies! Lol

Yes wannabeess, lived here off and on for 20 years and am thrilled to be moving over the border....fyi my accident was on 212/101....believe speed was near 127 @ time.....****ing ford's and their excessive body roll...literally this time, but USA steel did it's job!

 

My minivan works in the winter, Aaron. lol

How was the farm?

 

so does my minivan, but all wheel drifting around the farm is a bit more fun than putsing around in the van (and I do like my van)


farm is snowed in, little work being this time of yr. We have Richie's race car at the shop getting worked over (body) hopefully be done this month if they can get some new panels. curious to see what color they go with

 

I really enjoy driving this in the snow



But i really DONT enjoy driving this in the snow (it is godawful and doesn't move)


My car is a tank though



Snow is fun with a capable car.

 

Can anyone please suggest a good place with Z experince for an allignment?. Not the dealership though.
