Luckieee Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Sorry if im a n00b or w/e. My radiator just blew up today, started leaking brown rusty water i believe it was. Anyway, so do i need a new radiator now? Are all radiators for skyline's the same? My car is an automatic NON-TURBO. also, i had an argument with a m8, because my mate opened the coolant, i believe that the bubbles were overheated so it blew up. but he just sez it just randomly happened.. was he opening up the coolant while my car was running hot what made it leak? or was it just a random thing advice would be great thanks Edited January 13, 2009 by Luckieee Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252370-radiator-blew-up-today-help-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoh Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 opening up the cap would have released pressure which would have nothing to do with it leaking. it leaked because it's probably old. you should be able to pick up a cheap second hand one.
