streeteg Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well, As winter is in the not so distant future I am looking to add heat to this car at least to carry it through the fall before i put it in storage. I have an RB Z and the heaterbox? below.... What else do I need to put heat back in? and yes i know its dirty--- but thatll clean up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFancypants Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Looks like all the linkages are missing. You'll also need the hvac controls that operate all the linkages. Then you'll need the tubing and vents, and will have to connect in the heater core to the heater core circuit in the engine bay. I'd suggest replacing the heater core with a new one while youre at it -- it's probably all rusty and corroded. I dont see any mention of the fan system either -- thats going to require a bunch more parts and ducting, as well as wiring. Being in Arizona, I dont think I'll be needing heat in my Z. Im considering just adding a small 12V electric heater rather than all the complicated rigging for the stock hvac system. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks280zt Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Heres one http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-Browse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2002895/p-2002895/N-111+10101+10201+4294966754/c-10101 Another: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-Browse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2002903/p-2002903/N-111+10201+600013989/c-10101 I think by fabbing up some ducts with maybe dryer hose to just blow onto the windshield when the heater is on, is more than enough to heat a small Z.
