Kaveney Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just a quick question is the rad cap on the 350z a large or small version as there are two size options ? Thanks Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Treat yourself to the 350z one of these. Great piece of kit and very smart. I have one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D1-Spec-Thermostatic-Gauge-Radiator-Cap-Small-Head-1-1-Bar-Honda-Toyota-Subaru-/271638598916?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f3eec1504 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Quite fancy the Mishimoto rad cap but its pricey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Pretty sure it's a small type. And I would advise against the Mishimoto caps, big time. I upgraded to Mishi Rad and fans, and they are great. The rad came with the 1.3 bar cap. However, my radiator was dribbling coolant constantly out of the cap which was then boiling on the hot radiator. Spoilt the nice chrome finish and also peppered my entire engine bay with green droplets which are really hard to clean off. Tried a brand new Mishi 1.3 bar cap, same problem. Tried fettling the cap to get a better seal, still leaking. Then tried a Cosworth 1.3 bar cap and it hasn't leaked a drop in 1,000 miles driving around Wales and including a track day. So yeah, small type - don't go near Mishimoto caps. If you google 'Mishimoto radiator cap' it then suggests adding the word 'problems' to your search query.. go figure!

Payco Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 As I said the D1 SPEC one I purchased via ebay is excellent and looks the part too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Too late as I have ordered the small Mishimoto cap LOL It was only £ 13.00 so If it is not any good I will go back to std . My rad fan from them was good so we will see . Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltzinblack Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hopefully you will have a better experience than I. If not, the Cosworth one from Demon tweeks should do the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it's job and for £13 (I paid £12) can't really complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
