Stylin' and Profilin' *Woot-Woot*
I was playing with the camera and clicked off a neat pic (of my car, of course). I had a set of 1" adaptors left over from my z32 wheels, and, I decided to take a look-see how they'd do with the Saleens. Brought them right out to the edge of the fender well. Perfection...
I like your car. It looks like mine.

BTW...
I tried to do a "copy / paste" from your site and had my hand slapped. That was a funny error code.

If your Z was overheating with the heater core bypassed, that tells me the radiator is clogged. The core is nothing more than a little radiator and with it "off line" the big radiator is not getting the job done.
With another $1,025 invested you can't afford to drive it off a cliff. Besides, you never drive a car off a cliff, you push it.

This one is to JohnZboy, I have just spent the last 30sec with a bottle of lotion and your cars picture. I want to thank you. 
J/K. To Crazy84, listen dont believe that your car is going to cost 1025 to fix because its not. I took my car to the dealership once because I couldnt figure out why it kept over heating. They told me I had busted hoses, broken water pump, stripped timing chain, and a melted radiator cap. the cost was going to be 1200. WTF. I just changed my hoses, had the timing belt replaced and I had never heard of a radiator cap melting. When I saw the radiator cap was still in tact and whole I realized that these guys are in the money making business and not all of them are there to help you. Do some research and look around before you PUSH your car over a cliff. theres a place called Dynamic Motorsports off Arden try them and ask for Ed he likes Hondas but he knows his stuff.

Yeah, I kno it is tough but ya gotta keep lookin'. Dont even worry about the dash right now. That is an easy fix. z31.com has the way to fix it right there on their site. As for the engin problems your havin' shop arround. Ill talk to a few buddies of mine and get back in contact with you since were close if you want to continue with the legacy of the Z.

check your hoses too. you might not even need to replace it yet. I dont know what the extint of the problem is but Im sure that its just your heat core. Sounds like the same problem I had when mine was over heating. Also check to see if there is any fluid leaking on the pavement. If there is any dark spots or light spots. Your radiator should be fine though. zr8d is right. It would be hard to find a radiator at a junk yard or pick n pull in sac. If anything you should go aftermarket with fluidyne. Costs a pretty penny but its worth it.
