Just want to know if there is helpful hints or tips on how to install this part?? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks again guyZ

 

I by far don't know that much about this.... but when i had been looking to buy them, and never did.... group buy was taking forever.... this is what i found out...

-it's going to make a mess....
-just clean up afterward.....
-preferablly buy all new hose clamps....
-you could drain the radiator fluid first....
-----but was told not to, that its just a hassle
---------just pull off one hose at a time...
---------and cover the ends with your fingers....
---------a little gets out but its better than draining the radiator....
-buy radiator coolant....
-flush out the air from the system....
-----sorry i don't remember how they said to do that....

thats about all i know... and should get you, and the thread started...
Tell us how it ends up... and take pictures too!!!


Peace

Drain the radiator man it's the best way. I have all 5 hoses installed. Put some real good stuff back in the stock stuff is cheap and add some Redline Water Wetter

 

What is redline water wetter?

 

What do you recommend using for coolent?? and what is Redline Water Wetter? Is there a special way to fill the coolent back up??

 

Redline Watter Wetter is a coolant additive that lowers the boiling point of the coolant in the radiator. Basically it is more resistant to overheat. For those who do a lot of hard driving/trac racing/drifting it is a must.

I think you meat "raises" not "lowers".

I have these hoses (red ones) on mine. I changed them myself and did not find it messy at all.
I did upgrade my hose clamps to avaition grade stainless while doing so.
The only problem you run into is getting all of the air out of the system when you put it back together.
There is a relief valve (simular to a tire valve) that you can use to remove additional air.

The only suggestion I can make is to use the right size clamps for the hoses and turn the "tail" to the bottom of the hoses when you can. Nothing looks worse than long dangling tails sticking out in your engine compartment.

 

Where do I get the upgraded hose clamps??Autoparts store?

Can you tell me where the relief valve is so I can to get the water out of the system???

 

Yes I did mean raises....sorry. Excuse ME for making a mistake.

 

Be nice, he was.

There's about 2 pages in the service manual on draining/filling the coolant, I suggest getting it.

 

Oh crap I just realized I didn't put in the smiley. Sorry dude I wasn't really being a d!ck.

 

Thanks Mia yeah Redline Water Wetter works, you only need a pint so save room. You really notice it in the summer time.

 

It made a night and day difference on my Frontier. I take it to the desert a lot and not matter how many times I would flush my coolant and put in the good stuff and also make sure it was filled correctly I was still overheating just a little when i really got on my Fronteir out there. i added Redline Watter Wetter after my last trip and no problems since. Great stuff. And its pretty cheap too.

 

Thanks for the Diagram...I will try and locate a service manual..

 

will the redline additive have any problems with the Kinetix plenum due to its materials used?

 

Who changed my AVATAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<------------------------------

 

I wouldnt think so. Most radiators these days are a similar material and theres no problem there. Besides, does the coolant REALLY pass through the plenum?

 

I can email you the coolant section, it's only 800KB. PM me your email address.

MIAPLAYA, glad your a nice guy

 

was that directed to me 350ed?
