Hey nsta. There's a bolt on one side of the radiator right on the bottom underneath. undo this to let the coolant out. I went to Nissan and asked for coolant. When it's full again bleed the system out by undoing a small bolt which is the highest point on the engine so there's no air in the system. (It's near the fuel rail) be carefull as mine was stubbourne to undo. Just spray with wd40,rp7 etc and let sit for a couple of minutes and gently undo. Hope this helps....

Also it's a good idea to add 1.5-2L of coolant and let it sit for a couple of minutes then add again in stages til full. With the motor being hot you don't wanna risk cracking the head or radiator with cold coolant.

thanks, though when i mix the coolant with water, does the water have to be distilled, or just tap water????

and is it best to mix the water and coolant at the same time into like a carton?or add coolant, then water?

Buy some premixed coolant in bottles....about 8 L to be safe. I used 90+ at 33% coolant ratio. If you do want to mix you definately need distilled water. Stops corrosian on alloys, but the easiest way is premixed.

who sells pre-mixed coolant?, i bought some nulon coolant, but it needs to be mixed with distilled, and how much coolant will an rb25det need to fill(inc overflow bottle)???

thanks

nsta: As stated up the top of this forum, This is *NOT* the place to ask questions or to try and get help.

There is no need to create two threads in differnt forums asking the same question. All you are doing is effectively making it hard to find all the answers from everyone.

As has been said before to you, please make the effort to search for the info you're looking for, because the majority of questions you ask have been asked before, several times.

I just did a quick search and found the following threads about flushing your coolant:
