Hey guys, ive just bought my auto s1 r33 gtst pretty happy with the performance

and handling. But theres an issue with the top radiator hose being compressed

after driving. Is this an issue or is it normal? I normally have to top it up with about

250ml of water. any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

if it is compressing once the car cools then it sounds like your cap isn't doing it's job properly, or there is a blockage in the hose that runs to the resevouir, or gunk at the bottom of the resevouir that is blocking the hole when it tries to suck coolant back in.

yeah replaced it with a genuine nissan one now its not compressed, great. but i still

have to top it up with about 250 ml of coolant! damn i dont know where its leaking

from ive checked under the car while its running cant see anything. Could it be

leaking into my engine? man that would make me pissed.

replace radiator cap sounds like its not operating properly should be a cheap fix

didnt help when my top radiator hose was leaking coolant, when i was replacing the hose

i noticed the inlet was a bit corroded and have a brown residue. Why is this? I flushed the radiator

put new coolant hope this helps my engine.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
