Hey Anyone Had To Replace There Radiator Drain Plug?

[DS-ZILR]

just about to get my 32 GTR back on the road for the sunny weekend and what happens stupid plastic radiator drain plug crumbles in my hand! now i have to drop the radiator get all the shitty plastic out the thing and then find a new one somewhere.

so anyone know where i can get a r32 gtr radiator drain plug or at least somethin that will plug it. i was just gonna use a bolt with some tefflon tape and an o ring so it doesn't break again but i have to go find one that fits? any suggestions?

cheers

Pick-a-part, pocket as many as you can from different cars. One of them is bound to fit. Or go to Nissan.

probably less effort just to block it off

also a good time to upgrade your radiator!

my mate got a 3-core radiator and there was not enough room to pull the plug out haha

LOL the exact same thing happened to me.. had to pull everything out and actually shake the radiator upside down LOL. Well, it's funny...... now..

Luckily I stole the gazelle plug until I could get to nissan.. it was like $3 or something stupid

Pretty sure the 180sx, gazelle and r32 gtst are all the same size from memory

hey i have a winner! bolt is a 12x1.25 i used that with a bit of lpg gas safe thread tape for a good seal and also the bolt has to have a head on it to get an O-ring in there. i will let ya all know if it doesn't hold up but works wonders so far.
