Hi all....my matrix burst a while back....car's been undriveable since (obviously)....my new matrix arrived from Japan today...YAY!!!!!!!

....My question is, has anyone out there replaced a matrix on an R33 , and can you tell me how to go about it?? Is it a dashboard out job? Does the aircon system need to be disturbed?

Any help much appreciated dudes,

Jon.

...oh yes.....definitely something fishy for a few weeks before.....thought something crawled in the heater and died.....:D
.....but it was summer, and I didn't need the damn heater anyway, so I didn't worry.....(Doh!)
....then the windscreen started misting up on the inside.......
....and finally all my antifreeze found it's way into the passenger floorwell....

..and THEN I decided to do something about it.......

ah, well....

laters,

Jon.
