So last night when i took the X out for the first time after the body lift, it started spewing steam everywhere. When i popped the hood, low and behold, after the body lift i had snapped one of the heater core tubes off. Right now it's holding on with about a 1/4" of tube left sticking out of the firewall. I called up nissan and they said that i have to replace the entire heater core because they do not sell the little plastic hose thing that screw right on. Now, Being a high school student with one hell of a mod bug, I don't want to spend $150 + shipping on a new heater core. I'm looking for the cheapest fix possible. I'm thinking about going down to a wrecking yard and seeing if they can rip the heater core out for me (or do it myself) and just buy the nozzle.
Unless anyone else has a better plan or knowledge of somewhere else i can get a heater core tube?
Edit: Can i just disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses and join them together temporarily so i dont have another spill? at least until i get a new core?
