R33 Heater Matrix..

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.

did your car do anything strange before the matrix went i.e funny smell?

...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.
