I was just looking around and found out the Nismo radiator cap is rated for 18.2lbs while the stock one is rated for 12.6lbs. I know the higher pressure the higher boiling point, but still.

Thoughts?

 

Yeah, pop goes the radiator!
pop goes the heater core!

 

Unless you're having a over heating problem you just can't figure out I would bother with the higher cap. Our cooling system is damn good for a OEM set-up. Nissan definately hit it on the nose when they designed the 3rd gen cooling system. Large capacity radiator, daul fans, daul speed fans goes a long way. Leave it alone, why bother.

Aw, we know Shawn just was just trying to figure out a reason to put on that cap, so he'd have that cool Nismo logo on his radiator!

I would imagine they made them that way because essentially Nismo is for "racing applications" where a car that is pushed very hard can overheat easier. Unless you are doing autocross or road racing, I don't think you need it. But, if you want the cool logo go ahead

 

I was just curious. hmmmm Nismo logo, then I could pwn your **** at the drags Chris


Didnt even think about that Brian..... *runs and hides from the heatercore*

Mike, if only the headlights were the same I was at a car meet a few weeks ago and the pathfinder and beamer guys were trying to steal my radiator fans

 

I've seen it happen, especially on older cars with already weakened seams.

 

Just take a red sharpie and write it on the cap. I'm going to write Stillen on my stock airbox with whiteout too.

 

lol, ghetto superstar

please post pics if you're actually doin it

 

it will only help if its JDM sharpie ...USDM sharpies can't hold much boost.

 

Ima gonna put my exhaust on sideways y0!

na, I polished my radiator cap
