nismo radiator cap blows up
so i bought a nismo radiator cap and about a week later my car started over heating like crazy. so i took it to the dealer. turns out the seal in the radiator cap had gone bad and fluid was going up into the cap actually under the label. when it got hot you could actually see the label bubble up. so the dealer not only gave me a new factory cap but ordered me a new nismo. so if you're gonna get a nismo radiator cap, keep an eye on it and keep your receipt!!!
