Hey there

Before i get into anything i am new here and i would like to say thanks for making this site, i know i will learn a lot from it.

I have a skyline GXI 1.8 4 cylinder engine i have recently bought a radiator for it as mine was over heating, the guy that had sold it to me said make sure you bleed the air out of the engine before you install it otherwise the radiator will pop.

Problem is i dont know how to bleed the air?

can someone please help me by telling me whereabouts i could find this valve that bleeds the air?

any pictures of a rough idea of where it is would be greatly appreciated.

thank you very much.

I just undo the bolt for about 5 seconds to let the air out. Fill radiator again and repeat until the is no air coming out and refill the radiator. helps if you run the engine until its hot and then let it cool down before opening the bolt.

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
