Hi I’m new on here and I could use some help. I have a 2006 maxima and I can’t figure out what is up with my coolant system. To start I replaced my motor with a good used JDM but before installing into my car I put I new timing set in it as well as a new water pump, thermostat and after engine install new radiator and hoses. After adding the coolant and burping it I’m still having some issues. They are the upper and lower radiator hoses are very ridged the lower radiator hose and bottom of the radiator is cold to the touch even after driving. And the one that really baffles me is the overflow bottle will lose coolant after a few days.so I have looked and see no leaks and no coolant in the oil so no clue why the overflow is losing coolant and with all this said my temp gauge doesn’t go past the middle so I assume it’s not overheating. Has this happened to anybody else if so how did you fix it and if not any ideal what I can do. Thank you in advance for any help that I get
