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.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
