Hey Anyone Had To Replace There Radiator Drain Plug?


Recommended Posts

just about to get my 32 GTR back on the road for the sunny weekend and what happens stupid plastic radiator drain plug crumbles in my hand! now i have to drop the radiator get all the shitty plastic out the thing and then find a new one somewhere.

so anyone know where i can get a r32 gtr radiator drain plug or at least somethin that will plug it. i was just gonna use a bolt with some tefflon tape and an o ring so it doesn't break again but i have to go find one that fits? any suggestions?

cheers

probably less effort just to block it off

also a good time to upgrade your radiator!

my mate got a 3-core radiator and there was not enough room to pull the plug out haha

LOL the exact same thing happened to me.. had to pull everything out and actually shake the radiator upside down LOL. Well, it's funny...... now..

Luckily I stole the gazelle plug until I could get to nissan.. it was like $3 or something stupid

Pretty sure the 180sx, gazelle and r32 gtst are all the same size from memory

hey i have a winner! bolt is a 12x1.25 i used that with a bit of lpg gas safe thread tape for a good seal and also the bolt has to have a head on it to get an O-ring in there. i will let ya all know if it doesn't hold up but works wonders so far.

    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
    • Foreshadowing was never so easy.
    • The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
    • Is the problem that we just disconnected the line, does it need to be plugged? I’d rather not buy another master cylinder
    • Clutch is same same. Tailshaft is not. Diff will drop in. Half-shafts will not mate up (5x1 on turbo, 3x2 on NA). There is also the strong possibility that your auto NA gets its speed signal from the sensor on the diff, not the gearbag, and that will leave you without a speedo. You can do all this, you just have to do a lot more than you thought.
