i found a car that i am going to go look at in the next week or so.  i talked to the guy and he said it has an overheating problem.  he said the radiator and/or water pump need to be fixed/replaced.  does anyone know where i could find a new radiatior and water pump(this is for a 93 s13, btw)?  are there any performance radiators made for the s13?  also, i know the radiator would be easy to replace but how hard would the water pump be?  if anyone has done this or knows where to get these parts, please post it or PM me.  thanks a lot.

Is he sure there is something that needs to be replace in the cooling system. &nbsp;I went crazy thinking I had to replace a bunch of stuff in my S13 when it starting overheating. &nbsp;Turns out I had air in the system that needed to be blead. &nbsp;KA's are notorious for trapping air and not allowing the thermostat to open. &nbsp;I felt like a moron after I found out that was the only problem. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>

well he thinks it will cost 800-1000 to get it fixed. &nbsp;i know that if i buy it from him i could do it for a lot cheaper. &nbsp;he said he replaced the thermostat but it still overheats. &nbsp;wouldnt the GReddy radiator for 89-94 240sx w/sr20det still work? &nbsp;it would just be a matter of attaching the hoses, right? &nbsp;well if anyone has any input or has dealt with this problem let me know. &nbsp;thanks
