Well I bought this car thinking it had a heater core leaking, turns out it was just the coolant flow valve on the side of the core. It barely leaks only when the heat is on. I bought a new one but replacing it is very difficult. I'm trying to replace it without removing the dash, console, or whatever Nissan wants you to remove, and just working around the space limitations. Anyone ever replaced this valve before without pulling the core? If so how did you do it?

I've never posted a pic of my find so I guess now is a good time. One owner, ALL service records from the same dealer it was purchased from. The owner traded it in on a new 350z. 83,000 miles, mint inside and out. Paint and interior are flawless! I happen to be there the day he traded and bought it about 30 minutes after it was traded in for $4,200.00 :evillol:
