Surely there is little to no difference to other Nissan caps from the same era? J31 Maxima with the same sort of engine, for example. In which case, the Tridon catalogue points you to a rad cap number of CB1390. So you walk up to the Tridon rack at Supercheap/wherever with your V36 rad cap in hand and see if it looks the same, has the same rating. if it does, you buy it. If it doesn't, you look at the other options that you will have pre-planned by skuzzing through the Tridon catalogue to look for other Nissan models from the same period that might be similar.
I mean, it's not as if rad caps are a high technology model specific thing.
i did go supercheap but thier nearest was only 90kpa ive since tracked a 130kpa so would you recon near enough? cheers

Hi there after on idle for 20 miins looking for a water issue i noticed even tho very hot on all hoses my interior gauge shows about one quarter up from cold,so my qustions are at what stage do the elec fans come on they didnt in the 20 mins im really wondering if im overheating .
Where is the sensor located?
what sensor turns them on?
tia v36 2007 btw

righty ho
I managed to get a test kit and on 2 different occasions it didnt turn yellow which is good news i guess .

Close it up and drive it. If it has not been overheating just keep an eye on the water level. Certainly wouldn't be pulling it apart at this stage. Worth doing it again to see if it gets less. If not definitely do the gas test. You may be able to get a kit from Repco or Supercheap on line as they are allowed to ship "essential" items.
i have to mention also power is down and uses more fuel that what it used to.... i may want to sell in a year or so and i cant sell this..lol

i didnt see the test but he said the compression was i think 190 on all no loss and the leakdown no issues,
btw thank you for all the info much appreciated also the car has never overheated just hear bubble sound form behind dash when i started the car..upon opening bonnet the resivour was pretty full......so ill try the bleeding scenario
Ok with lockdown cant get a co2 device but i sloped the car, filled the bottle half full sealed onto radiator,,,,,youl see vid 1 which is 5 mins in video 2 12 minutes in and video 3 20 mins.
i guess my dumb mechanic didnt do this as youl see by vid 3 it shows what i presume is indeed compression/exhaust gases into water///// Thank you for looking, the coolent did have a bottle of some hoodoo in it to hopefully plug leaks by mechanic,,, last vid is when engine is switched off...

Ok one more question...did you watch the mechanic do the pressure test and what happened? Did the pressure go down without any sign of water spurting out?
Here is a test kit along the lines of what GTSBoy was suggesting earlier (you may be able to get a similar one cheaper from your local Repco or Supercheap) that you can use yourself:
If this test comes out positive you have a problem. If it comes out negative (no exhaust gas in bubbles) then it is still possible you need a good bleed of the air in the system (especially if this problem arose following a service where the coolant was changed).
OR you do a good bleed now anyway: Get the front of the car as high as possible (up a steep drive, on a set of ramps, or jacked up as high as) and also find a plastic bottle (coke , milk, anything with the bottom cut off) the neck of which will fit tightly in the tube after you have taken the radiator cap off. Start the engine and turn your heater(s) on full. Idle until the thermostat opens (you can tell by the hoses heating up) and add water to the plastic bottle (half full will do). Continue to add water if necessary and watch for the bubbles to stop. Give it a good 20 minutes or so. If the bubbles stop put the cap back on and hopefully its cured!
BTW as a matter of interest how far can you drive the car before it overheats?

Could you rewrite this sentence please? Its a bit hard to work out what you are saying.
Did he say yes there were bubbles in the radiator when some or all of the cylinders were compression tested or no there were not?
BTW you're out on a limb in Napier - I have good contacts in Auckland but none there... and yes you have to pull the front of the car off to get at things which is why replacement timing chains are so expensive...(so if you end up doing this good idea to have the chain and chain guides checked at they are a weak pint on the VQ25).
He infered to me that winding it over doing compression test he saw bubbles and no matter which cylinder he did he saw bubles these are not fine bubbles but like a burp btw v36
i got the g35 manual

update on my troubles
mechanic checked all the cooling system over..no apparent issues
went to next stage took throttle body off and compession tested it and then a leakdown test ...........both no issues
he then put back together and vac test the system no issues\
He is a bit stumped but did say maybe the water pump is sucking air behind the timing cover anybody seen anything like this???
he said there where bubble coming up on compession test on any of the cylinders..... is it possible to suck air in somewhere else?
thank you

Do you mean remove the front of the car? Hell no. Take radiator out? Quite possibly. But that's not expensive work. Neither is removing the timing covers. That's what I meant when I said "But pulling timing covers off is not the difference between affordable and not". If it adds an hour to the job it's an extra hundred buck or so, right? Not an extra $500.
ok that sounds not too bad is the timing cover one piece or is there a top section thats not behind pumps and things...
btw i had a search for v36 workshop manual and g36 for 2007 cant locate any ideas

Well, yeah, most of it - certainly at least the top part. The VQs are chain driven, yes? But pulling timing covers off is not the difference between affordable and not.
i got a bit lost on last part of your statement ( But pulling timing covers off is not the difference between affordable and not.)
im trying to assertaian if the front has to drop away and take radiator out for acess cheers

Where do you live? Should be able to fix that for less than 2.5K
im in napier the guy thinks upwards to 3 grand and seems to think the engine may have to come out or drop the front away!!!
he may be reading wrong stuff.. so to do head gasket does the whole timing covers have to come off? or can heads be done insitu....
thanx guys

i took it to a reputable mechanic who pressure tested the system and his advice was the next stage put air compessed into cylinders which will tell the truth i guess
-
the car has been maintained at every maintaince schedule last big one was all brake fluid all coolant auto trans filter engine filter oil etc.
i bought it in 2007 but its used only for longer trips
