ya, the Nismo is just slightly higher pressure than the Z32 cap (turbo and non turbo are the same) Nissan part number 21430-54P00

i just flushed it today and filled it up with 50/50 coolant and that didnt fill it up all the way so i topped it off with distilled water and it overheated all the way about 5 min later on the highway so i got off and stopped at a friends house and gave it some more water and it went back down to half way and hasnt moved since BUT it was about 5 o clock so i guess tomorrows miami heat will bring the verdict

BTW is it okay that i took out my thermostat? i heard that its better especially in hot areas

i traced my "overheating" problem back to a faulty ground connector. find them, clean them, enjoy.

i replaced my thermostat with a better condition one, 50/50, water wetter, and distilled water and no more over heating, yay.

i dont know if taking out your thermostat is such a great idea...

I know they are pricey, but it has been the best peace of mind upgrade I've done.

Several years later I decided to revisit this cause my NX still has this problem:

(Thats 2002)
Has that mod still held up? I am about to cut out the nose and make a grill. Let me know if the Koyo is worth it and if it held up.
