Noticed water drop in from radiator first, then change the radiator cap, but the situation same, then again check water pressure and noticed Water Jacket leakage. Replaced water jacket but the situation still remaining. then changed radiator fan (in this type Only one fan for both radiator and AC), done full radiator service (found some leakages and fixed them). Now in the idle running condition the temperature controls normally (Fan start at when getting heated the engine and off automatically with AC and without AC modes), But in the long run WITH AC and if we stuck in the traffic temperature goes high instantly. (Goes down if we switch off the AC).
What will be the issue ?
didn't check Thermostat / Water pump yet. And mechanics suspects gas cut issue.
Restoring a 90's Diesel.
Gentlemen, What are your thoughts on doing a soft-resto on an unhacked Nissan SB14 that has been sitting around for 8 years?
1997 car registered in 2000. Manual gears, 2L CD20 diesel. Single owner -Decased. Family who are known to me - dont use it. Unhacked body and almost pristine interior. Clean body lines, no accidents. Complete car and appears untouched by makabasses. Engine shows signs of under-compression, brakes and clutch-plate need replacing, tyres are on the brink of decomposing. Power mirrors do not work. Needs a paint job. No major corrosion but early-stage rust spots on the boot lid.
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
