Nismo Header install!!!
I can't believe it...After two days, bloddied hands and soreness everywhere I'm finished (well kinda).
Once I finally finished everything and fill the radiator, I decided to take the car for a drive with some extra radiator fluid and a phillips head (for the bleeder valve) on hand just in case there was still air left in the lines.
I get about one mile down the road and the engine temp started to climb just a hair. I thought no big deal, probibly just a little air in the lines. I pull over and there's about a quarter of a cup of radiator fluid spayed all over the engine bay
I thought, maybe I forgot to connect one of the hoses? Nope! My stupid dumba$$ forgot to put the bleeder plug back in
Oh yeah, it gets worse, not only did I forget to put it back in. But I left it on top of the engine and it's nowhere to be found
Once I got over the aggrivation. I decided to give the local dealer a call. I figured that kind of part is probibly the same for most Nissan vehicles. I turnes out most share the same plug just not the Z! Absolutly nobody stocks this part. I tried every dealer within 50 miles. I also tried courtesy and performance. I ended up ordering the plug and washer they're only $13 total but I'm gonna have to wait 3 days for them.
Here's the part number if anyone F's up like me...
Plug 21440-5V000
Washer 21481-89900

.Well all is good now. But there seems to be a slight leak at the driver's side cat. I'm going to wait until friday and take it to this guy who will let me use his lift.
