at the front of the plenum there is a 10mm bolt that goes into a little tube with a bracket with japanese writing next to it and it should say in english "never open when hot"

either that or get a 2lt coke bottle and cut the arse out of it fill it up with coolant, remove rad cap and place this in there, turn the car on and let it run for about 15-20mins it will also get rid of all the air, also top up if needed

Do that but while you turn it on and idle.. Make sure the heater is turned on all the way.. (this opens the thermostat)

Make sure the car is cold when you do it.

turning on the heater doesnt open the thermostat, it just gets any air pockets that are in the heater lines out when you're bleeding the system. best thing to do is wait for the engine to come close to OT, then turn the heater on, then start bleeding.

turning the heater on will make the motor get to OT in longer time because you're pumping more coolant through the system.

its definitely good practice to turn your heater on when bleeding the system though.

as a fail safe, if your car ever over heats turn the heater on full blast so you get more coolant running through it.
