Alright I have a 96 with 117K on it and those front two coolant lines that run across the front of the engine are pretty beat looking...there both pitted really bad and rusted to cra*...I am wondering if it is better to just replace them ($70 from Nissan) or take them off and have them treated some how ??

They are pitted pretty badly and Im wondering if I take them off and clean them, it will take too much material off and not work as efficiant of winde up breaking on me

What two coolant lines are you referring to? The PS cooler that runs in front of the A/C condensor?

 

Front of the engine from the left to the right, wrapps around the right side of the engine starts on the left..there metal and theres one on top of the other..

Very easy to spot on the VQ...there right behind the radiator across the engine

Ok, gotcha. Mine look the same, I am not doing anything till they start to leak. I think they are aluminum, thats why they pit so bad but they are also thick so I wouldn't bother unless they really worry you.

 

They just bother me alot...and I know people on the .org that have taken them off, had them heat treated then reinstalled them

For 70$ I can have some new ones or I may call a junk yard tomorrow and see if I cand find anything
