Replacing the core support, rad and other front end components on my new Z project car. Thanks for the teardown! Was worried about the AC condenser the most, but that seems to be one of the simpler parts of this project. Appreciate you! 🤘
Oh man, good luck with it bro. I should have filmed it but I recently did that and it turned into a pain in the ass quick. lol Just be careful about stripping the oil gallery screws, a few are hard to get to. If you do happen to strip one, I just drilled it out a bit and then hammered a hex bit into the screw and broke it loose with inward pressure and a ratchet. Also make sure your timing doesn't jump or you'll be taking you valve covers off to reset it. let me know if you need any more tips
is there anyway i can get away with out unplugging the a/c lines ? or do i have too because im replacing my core in the front in the am please respond ik this vid is 4 years old but it was really helpful
Hey just saw this, I can't remember to well but you might be able to get away with unbolting the condenser and moving it out of the way but you might risk breaking a line.
@@KyleHidalgoI just did everything you did in this video because I was fixing my frame and I never took off the condenser. So yes you can but, I now put everything back on and my AC doesn’t work. I don’t know if I plugged in my harness wrong or what I wish I could’ve seen up close all your connections
Hey man, I know this video is 4 years old but if you see this comment please respond. I’ve been looking for videos on how to remove my core support, do you think doing the Hr model would just be the same?
You removed a bunch of extra. Power steering can be pushed aside and if you disconnect ac compressor u can push ac lines to the side as well without unchanging the system.
True, I was working in a really small space though and wanted as much room as possible. Also it's kind of a pain in the ass to leave the power steering cooler connected because then you have the rad support in your way on the side. Doesn't save enough time to equal the hassle of having crap in your way especially for something as easy as those two things.
How do you remove the from plastic shroud so easily ??? My little reservoir for I think windshield wiper fluid won’t come off it’s got hoses connected to the bottom I can’t get off ……
For the stuck hoses you can try boiling water and poor it on them to losen them up or get some pliers and carefully try to twist them back and forth while pulling back to break them loose
I definitely would not take it off without discharging it because it will shoot freon in your face or on your skin. And not in a way that's good for the environment (I.e. Carefully disconnecting a connection) .
@@moisesjavierguerrero4240 Lol not discharging it and removing lines with 100Psi of refrigerant means you'll need to go to the hospital for major tissue damage from burns. go to any mechanic shop and pay them $40 bucks and they'll discharge for you. I've payed $20 sometimes for some cars. if you connect AC gauges and slightly open it to vent to atmosphere, the AOC politician will destroy you because 20oz is more than the computer air can dusters that people use everywhere with pretty much the same contents.
what holds the radiator and condenser in/from falling? Also any chance you know the layout of the wiring harness? I have a 350z I bought crashed and the wiring got cut in the accident. I am not sure what the connectors are for. ( I have a shell also with a harness but I dont see wires from the harness to the ECU... just nothing but there are no wires cut so I was going to steal those connectors unless you happen to know more about it than me haha I dont know anything about these cars. this is my first one).
They are attached to each other and then to the fiberglass radiator support. I do not but it's pretty straight forward besides the coil packs. It starts on the driver side cam position sensor and wraps around the engine to the Passanger side sensor/firewall. I can try and send you a video if you want?

Yeah I think it should be pretty much the same. I think the only thing they really changed was the engine
Excellent video the music is from heaven its self
Thanks bro, appreciate it!

Frekin helpful dude 👌
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
what were the bolt sizes on the front radiator support? those 8 bolts?
The ones on both of the sides in the front are 10mm, the top 4 are 12mm,and the bash bar bokts are 12mm
You explain it so good
Thanks brotha! I appreciate it
also what were the bolt sizes for that power steering cooler? and how many bolts were there?
There are two 10mm bolts on the oil cooler bracket and a 10mm bolt on the oil cooler line bracket
When buys a core support, there’s two parts to it? Like the radiator part and the headlight part?
You can buy them together or separate depending on what you need
Kyle Hidalgo do you know the name of them by part 😅 appreciate the reply 🙏🏽
Sure! This should be the part number OEM 62510-CD100
Much love thanks g

is there a way I can discharge my AC at home?
What happens if I don't discharge it and take it off like that?
I definitely would not take it off without discharging it because it will shoot freon in your face or on your skin. And not in a way that's good for the environment (I.e. Carefully disconnecting a connection) .

Any tips for removing the power steering cooler
It was a major pain in the ass. I think I boiled some water and poored it on the lines to soften them up but I was a lot of pulling
Bro I jus crashed my car :( this helped a lot thank you !!!!
No problem man! Hope you got it back on the road!
Thank you so much!!!
No problem! Thanks for the support!

Good video.
Thanks brotha!
Ugh I wish I knew someone who could help me rebuild my front end 💔
Is it rebuild yet?
Waste of time. Take it out the top.
I don't think that would even be possible on the 350, there is not much room to work with. Plus I didn't have enough clearance even if it was possible
True same with my z better this way more room to work with .
Kyle Hidalgo he’s obviously never worked on vehicles with small space
