I learn something new everyday. That is outrageous :sick:. When I rebuilt my engine and decided to put a new heater core in, I found out that the thermal control unit and the heater valve were not even in my Z, so I just have it all bypassed, is that a bad thing or no. Heater still works fine

Wow, it's good to know that things still work without it; do you have A/C in the car?

I think I've pretty much made up my mind to go with a new Vintage Air unit. You can get everything from the compressor to the vents for $895. There is a member on Hybrid Z who is documenting his install and it looks pretty straightforward.

The cost of refurbishing this system is just too much as compared to a new system. My car is heavily modified so originality is not a factor but I feel sorry for the guys w/concours Z's. If you noticed, the Motorsport replacement piece is now different than the factory item.

There might just be a niche market for someone to start rebuilding these things.
