Radiator Pipe

[thrtytwo]

asking about the radiator pipe on the left hand side of the core wich go's to the engine (RB20). Mine had a leak in it, small pin hole, so its got a temporary fix on it atm, my replacement just arrived from japan but wondering if i need to empty radiator or if it will drain below that point when car has been off for a while ?

both the TOP and the BOTTOM hose is on the left hand side of the motor...

either one will require topping up of the radiator and a bleed of the system using the bleed bolt.

couldnt wait til weekend, installed today, dont know how taking out that bolt is supposed to aid you with that tiny little hole ? i ended up just squeezing the pipe and holding a rag over the main radiator opening, a few rags and a bucket later it was low enough for me to take off stock pipe, still needed more rags underneath and stuff though. new one went on a breeze and now im chasing temp sensor to go in the hoel thats on the GReddy ones . thanks for all the info

the tiny hole is to bleed the radiator so theres no air in it.

not to help in taking the pipe off
