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]

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
