    I have an alloy radiator. Will those flakes work? I know there is a special repair kit out there but I have made sure my radiator is well protected too

    Was thinking the other day about battery welding, how does it affect modern car computers? Do you use a spike protected jump lead then hand piece, or remove battery then use??

    In addition to welder you need rods and helmet.. $12 from boc..

    All you need for a split or holed radiator is ground pepper works great and the radiator specialists will love you as it cleans out with a quick flush.

    Remove or at least disconnect the battery but REMEMBER all your codes.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
