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.

(function(){var g=this,h=function(b,d){var a=b.split("."),c=g;a[0]in c||!c.execScript||c.execScript("var "+a[0]);for(var e;a.length&&(e=a.shift());)a.length||void 0===d?c[e]?c=c[e]:c=c[e]={}:c[e]=d};var l=function(b){var d=b.length;if(0<d){for(var a=Array(d),c=0;c<d;c++)a[c]=b[c];return a}return[]};var m=function(b){var d=window;if(d.addEventListener)d.addEventListener("load",b,!1);else if(d.attachEvent)d.attachEvent("onload",b);else{var a=d.onload;d.onload=function(){b.call(this);a&&a.call(this)}}};var n,p=function(b,d,a,c,e){this.f=b;this.h=d;this.i=a;this.c=e;this.e={height:window.innerHeight||document.documentElement.clientHeight||document.body.clientHeight,width:window.innerWidth||document.documentElement.clientWidth||document.body.clientWidth};this.g=c;this.b={};this.a=[];this.d={}},q=function(b,d){var a,c,e=d.getAttribute("pagespeed_url_hash");if(a=e&&!(e in b.d))if(0>=d.offsetWidth&&0>=d.offsetHeight)a=!1;else{c=d.getBoundingClientRect();var f=document.body;a=c.top+("pageYOffset"in window?window.pageYOffset:(document.documentElement||f.parentNode||f).scrollTop);c=c.left+("pageXOffset"in window?window.pageXOffset:(document.documentElement||f.parentNode||f).scrollLeft);f=a.toString()+","+c;b.b.hasOwnProperty(f)?a=!1:(b.b[f]=!0,a=a<=b.e.height&&c<=b.e.width)}a&&(b.a.push(e),b.d[e]=!0)};p.prototype.checkImageForCriticality=function(b){b.getBoundingClientRect&&q(this,b)};h("pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality",function(b){n.checkImageForCriticality(b)});h("pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkCriticalImages",function(){r(n)});var r=function(b){b.b={};for(var d=["IMG","INPUT"],a=[],c=0;c<d.length;++c)a=a.concat(l(document.getElementsByTagName(d[c])));if(0!=a.length&&a[0].getBoundingClientRect){for(c=0;d=a[c];++c)q(b,d);a="oh="+b.i;b.c&&(a+="&n="+b.c);if(d=0!=b.a.length)for(a+="&ci="+encodeURIComponent(b.a[0]),c=1;c<b.a.length;++c){var e=","+encodeURIComponent(b.a[c]);131072>=a.length+e.length&&(a+=e)}b.g&&(e="&rd="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(s())),131072>=a.length+e.length&&(a+=e),d=!0);t=a;if(d){c=b.f;b=b.h;var f;if(window.XMLHttpRequest)f=new XMLHttpRequest;else if(window.ActiveXObject)try{f=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")}catch(k){try{f=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")}catch(u){}}f&&(f.open("POST",c+(-1==c.indexOf("?")?"?":"&")+"url="+encodeURIComponent(b)),f.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"),f.send(a))}}},s=function(){var b={},d=document.getElementsByTagName("IMG");if(0==d.length)return{};var a=d[0];if(!("naturalWidth"in a&&"naturalHeight"in a))return{};for(var c=0;a=d[c];++c){var e=a.getAttribute("pagespeed_url_hash");e&&(!(e in b)&&0<a.width&&0<a.height&&0<a.naturalWidth&&0<a.naturalHeight||e in b&&a.width>=b[e].k&&a.height>=b[e].j)&&(b[e]={rw:a.width,rh:a.height,ow:a.naturalWidth,oh:a.naturalHeight})}return b},t="";h("pagespeed.CriticalImages.getBeaconData",function(){return t});h("pagespeed.CriticalImages.Run",function(b,d,a,c,e,f){var k=new p(b,d,a,e,f);n=k;c&&m(function(){window.setTimeout(function(){r(k)},0)})});})();pagespeed.CriticalImages.Run('/ngx_pagespeed_beacon','http://www.sau.com.au/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=ajax&section=topics&do=quote&t=348629&p=7666165&md5check=6c7b695bfec134fd3073c29b47741d45&isRte=1,6YgIICLrb3,true,false,kri4IdftnM4');data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhCAAKAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAAIAAoAAAISTIBmoLy9XDqyxktfkuo05AQFADs= Untitled.jpg

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]

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
