bad Heater Core
A while ago I could smell a horrid stench coming from the glove box region and passenger side of my 90se. Upon closer inspection I notice the carpet wet around the passenger floormat. It was coolant, and smelled like death. The mechanic told me my heater is corroded and dead, which made sense because it would intermittently go cold at full blast. Anyway now it's getting frigid in San Diego(65-degrees!) and I need to get a new heater in there. I want to know if it's worth paying $190 for a new one from my mechanic or should I extract one from a junkyard Maxima. If anyone knows the compatibility of Max heaters with my 90se, that would be awesome. Thanks.

radiator
yeah the rest of my cooling system showed failures shortly after the heater was disabled....There was a busted hose(replaced),bad/broken thermostat(replaced),small leak in water pump(soon),and a crack in the radiator(replaced). Now tomorrow I plan on looking into a new heater, new wires & Transmission cooler. We'll see.
