in skylines, the radiator cap is lower than other parts of the cooling system, hey do this so the front of the car can be lower.. that is why you need to bleed the air out of the bleeder in the inlet manifold..

the breather tank moves the cap higher than everything else.. so if you mount it on the strut tower, with the second cap above the engine, it now becomes the highest point and all the air in the system will gather there, allowing you to easily bleed the air from the system by simply running the engine and filling it up..

rb's if not bled properly will gather air in the cylinder head as its higher than the radiator and the cyl head temps will get high and cause damage also the pressure of the cooling system will be low and it will do bugger all.. so its important to bleed them. breather tanks are better value for money than catch cans if you ask me.

cheers

so with the breather tank u dont need a bleed bolt no more as i remove it when putting greddy intake on my car and the realised thati cant bleed air for cooling system so with the breather tank i can bleed the air out

thank heaps mate

how do u hook a breather tank up the right way as its in japanense

im assuming that the bleeder has a radiator cap on top.. what has come in the kit??

most of them have a t piece that plumbs into a coolant line, or the coolant line gets replaced by the lines and bleeder tank.. just like a catch can arrangement but with coolant instead of blowby.

The picture looks like it explains it. Yes you need to get a tee for the bottom radiator hose. You can buy these for water temp sensors. You will then need to get a nipple that screws into it to attach a hose to. The top end looks like it sits between the over flow bottle and the radiator. the highest to the overflow bottle the lowest to the radiator. The other one can be capped off. Just make sure that you mount the top of it higher than the cap of the radiator so the air rises to the breather tank.

that is how i trought it would go just wanted to make sure

it has to sit higher then any coolant running around right so the dose that mean it has to be higher then the coolant line it the top of the turbo has i have a hi mount

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @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?
