correct! that's what Greddy radiator breath tank do.

but for mine, the Apexi one, the bottom return line is connecting with heater hose outlet (it should be same as bottom of radiator hose). there is only one line on top which is to stock radiator top with zero pressure radiator cap.

next stage is using T piece replace stock air bleed port on heater hose inlet (i ordered some tools but they are on the way). then make a line from stock air bleed port with radiator top line together. that would make air bleeding be automatic.

Have you got it hooked up with the bleed yet? Looks like a good mod. Is it an M35 specific kit or universal tank and you just buy he lines etc that you need?

firstly it is universal part, not specified for M35

here is the info from Apexi

secondly, for original design, it doesn't need to connect air bleed port due to Apexi thinks the radiator cap should be the highest point of the car. just bleed air from radiator cap using 0 pressure radiator cap.

the Apexi one came with 1* 19mm heater hose (for Apexi tank water return) and 1* 9mm water hose (to connect to stock overflow tank and radiator overflow port), 1* 19mm T piece (for return Apexi return water hose and stock heater return hose)

i make my own mod refer to Greddy one like below:

post-137368-0-30641300-1453423417_thumb.jpg

currently i changed the air bleed T piece with this one (from bunnings, due to the stock one is broken, LOL)

i blocked the top point by a block plug

post-137368-0-52256700-1453423532_thumb.jpg

i ordered this part on ebay and it is on the way

i could screw it to top of the air bleed port and using another 9mm water hose to connect to Apexi tank

post-137368-0-50072100-1453423775_thumb.jpg

here is the instruction and i will do the green part after i got above ebay part. just need to make sure the port on Apexi tank should be the highest one of car)

post-137368-0-41702600-1453424188_thumb.jpg

finally, i bought Apexi tank from yahoo auction due to the low price (around $130-140), RRP is over $200. i think you can buy faked Greddy one from ebay if you like, same design with smaller body, easy to mount in engine bay, but the most important thing is "it is really cheap"

I bought the same tank, but couldn't find anywhere to mount it without hacking.

I could have made you an alloy version of that Bunnings part if you needed something with a barb. Not sure I would want to rely on that.

What's the best way to "T" into the bottom rad hose? I doubt we can get one with the provision already there like you can for RBs etc

Edit: would probably just be a "water adapter" for whatever size our rad hose is? What size is our bottom rad hose? I take it you just cut a small section out and slip the remaining hose one other side?

Buy a remote water temp adaptor block (goes inline on rad hose) then tap to suit your chosen fitting.

Plumb line from bottom of swirl pot.

Profit.

water returns to stock heater return hose, that's 19mm

if you want to return to low radiator hose, that you could buy this:

also you need to measure the hose inlet size before

yeah, we have narrow engine bay. i bought universal oil catch can but can't fit it.... i am looking at genuine 0.3L CUSCO catch can now.

also, i am going to mount another 12inch thin fan on left front for car, and using 2* 12inch thin fans together when AC is on. my car always get high temp when waiting traffic light/start and stop on 35degree day with AC on. if cruising, the temp will drop to 90.

Fitted my three under car braces, two sway bars, strut brace, calipers and MCAs.

Strut brace just fits over the engine cover.

Ended up removing the rotor backing plate completely rather than trimming, alternatively could have machined the inner rotor a bit.

Sway bars are same dimensions as stock but a heap heavier, front stock 3kg, Dolphin 7kg.

Rims ready to go on, just making some custom centre caps. Before and after.

and another project I picked up for $10 at the local tip/recycle yard. Going to knock up some brackets and cut out the mesh in the lower section for longer items with the seats down.

^what car is that cargo barrier out of?

No idea, there was no make or part number just a generic Milford plate. I emailed them with pics and am waiting to hear back.

Yep, front and rear parking sensors on the car when I got it, you get used to the incessant beeping.

glad I don't have them in there rear of mine it shits me enough with just the fronts when people walk past at intersections. In Sydney f**ks pull up behind you so close I'd be murdering people all day if I had rear ones lol [emoji380][emoji380]

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
