Nissan dealer said i need to bleed the radiator since i removed it....is this true? How do i do this...or is it necessary?

 

you can bleed your self . just open air bleed right next to battery box .open them about 5 min.and check the radiator cap if ok.do not put after market greddy or hks unless you have turbo on your car put too much presure on radiator will damage.i will take out greddy cap tonight see what happen.i put tham on stock radiator no issue but stillen 2 core radiator leak i do not know where no over heating so i will put it back stock cap

 

i got a stock cap...

 

is the bleed the green cap that u turn with your hand?

 

You won't need to burp the tranny fluid...any air will bleed out

You should follow the instructions from the link I gave you. Stop asking over and over.

 

lolz...sorry mang...and thanks again...i know i keep repeating my questions. Here is the issue at hand. New radiator installed and coolant filed with two bleeds done. No coolant is leaking anywhere. New thermostat installed too. I turned on my car and turned on the heater in the car to 90F and full blast......i reved my car to 3 krpms for 10secs 4 times. My car temp started to rise and wanted to overheat...AGAIN.

My question is: What am i doing wrong and what can be the problem? do i still need to keep bleeding the car? I am leaving it over nite so when i come back from work i can check the coolant level.

Question #2: By the battery where the Transmission fluid goes in...(the one where u take off the screw and pull up the top) Isn't this where the fluid stick is should be attached to...because i dont have on on it??? Because i watched the DIY video on automatic transmission and he pulled out a fluid stick with the top.

 

03 g35 may not have transmition dip stick i been seen 03 fx35 do not have them.now your radiator may need more coolrant .i do not know how to fill tranmy oil to your g35.anyway did your radiator same like stock or all aluminum ? stock drain and refill need only 2gal but after market almost 4gal.hope this help

 

Radiator came like stock....Top and bottom are plastic. I didnt even know the center aluminum was so delicate too....a small touch bends the wall. So if it does not have tranny dip stick...then how do i check my tranny levels?? When i put in the new coolant....it took 1 1/2 before the top filled.

 

Are you saying you don't have a dipstick there or the entire assembly isn't there?

 

you need put more coolrant about 1 gal more.tranny dip stick. i do not know where. you can ask local auto repair to found out.did you put oem thermostat?

 

yup OEM thermostat new. Tranny dip stick is not there the assembly is......but i guess this is common on the old models.

 

Ok and update on my car. Came from work today and i removed the radiator cap to check the level (my car was left all day with no movement...car was cold). My coolant popped out as i opened the radiator cap?? I have never seen that before and need some help please!!

 

you need leave cap open to air to get out.atleast 2-3 hour . or you need check timing.

 

You need to burp the system...buy a spill proof filler tube that attaches to the radiator. Unscrew the bleeder screw by the battery. Start car, and let idle til warm. Rev engine to 3000 rpms a couple times. Continue to let the car idle for a few min.

Turn off engine and let car sit as is (with rad cap off and bleeder valve open) for 90 minutes. This will help the air bleed upward and out.

 

Ok everything seems good so far....no more overheating...AC has been cold and not warming up.....so far so good and no issues..(i pray). I have been checking my coolant lever tho. Here is what i have been doing so far.

1. After i drive the car and let it cool down completely i open up the bleeder first then i open up the radiator cap second. I have been putting coolant so far...not a lot...just a lil it takes to fill up again. I basically put in coolant until i see some coming out of the bleeder..then i close the bleeder and finish off toping it. Do i keep doing this until i notice no more need to fill any coolant?
