I just changed this plastic connector on a 2013 G37 for an aluminum one with a bleeder. I used a Dorman 47291 connector that is easily available. If you are just replacing this connector you don't need to drain anything. Obviously wait until the car is cold then simply plug the coolant filler so no air can get in. You can't use the regular cap for this because it will vent air or coolant from the plastic reservoir back into the system once you open the system and you will then be dealing with a gusher. Put an old towel under the connector as you won't lose any more than a few ounces of coolant at most. I was able to do this without too much cursing by removing just the engine cover. Once replaced I opened the bleeder and very slightly unseated the plug on the coolant filler and the bleeder instantly filled with coolant. I then put on a burping funnel but really didn't need it as so very little coolant was lost and the bleeder worked like a charm.
I know this is super late, but I did the exact same thing with the TB coolant lines after I got a 75mm kit over a year ago. Didn’t want to unevenly distribute coolant or mess anything up. Just seemed like a good idea, glad someone else has done it!
That's hilarious I literally just fixed this issue days ago. Mine happened at 95k, it broke in half completely. Unfortunately had no clue this was common. It exploded in the middle of me running errands so I had no idea it happened until I noticed that sweet burning coolant smell then temp gauge was close to all the way. Who knows how long I ran overheated, probably not too long but definitely a bit. Really grateful for this video, it might bring more attention to this issue and save lots of people headaches. Don't think there is enough on TH-cam. I didn't even know Z1 made replacements so thanks! Had to use cheap stuff to fix mine, going to be replacing that asap.
For sure a ticking time bomb. Mine split right in half at 161,000 miles. Sprayed everywhere and smoke coming out the hood. Easy job if you just want to change the connector. Took me 30 mins just because I didn't want the pieces to fall in. So far so good
I’m at 162k miles and I just got a leak underneath my car, checked my coolant level and it’s bone dry. I filled it with water for now to find the leak idk where it is yet I’m tryna watch these videos to find out
@sobottrachhuth75 late reply but from what I've heard these shouldn't be plastic connectors. It's hot coolant running through it. If you gonna keep the car longterm I say buy the metals one from Z1 Motorsport
@alienjooce1324 cheap fix bro. It's uncomfortable especially in the winter lol but if you not in a rush order the metal one from Z1 and take your time. The old one will Crack. Just make sure it doesn't fall inside. You'll save about 200 lol
Thanks for the video! Saved me a whole lot of time and money! Unfortunately I didn't have the luxury of replacing it with a metal one cause my coupler cracked on me in a rural area after warming up on a day when it was freezing out, I was lucky to get another plastic one from the NAPA nearby.
This just happened on my '14 Q50s at 52k miles. Noticed a leak traced it to that heater hose connector and it was starting fall apart like your's. Great video!
@@3rdPedalMedia it almost feels like intentional, they built such a solid motor that they weakened it with an "Achilles Heel". Like a "Planned Obsolescence"
mine started to fail at about 85k miles. I noticed that every time I popped open the hood, my coolant reservoir would be a tiny bit lower than it was when I last checked on it. that happened a couple of times so I figured there must be a leak somewhere. turns out, it was this peace we're talking about in the video. Getting it to it and replacing it with a new one wasn't too bad but the damn thing came out in small pieces. there's an excellent reddit thread that details all the common problem on the Gs and what you should look out for. its called G37 Common Issue Thread. My 2011 G37 has 102k miles and all I've had to do so far is this connector and the gallery gaskets that started leaking at around 95k miles. it wasn't a bad oil leak at all but I did notice a slow build up so I got the gaskets changed. Those two fixes and a new brakes and rotors set is all I've done for my car. I've owned this car for 6 years now (bought at 54k miles) and its been wonderfully reliable.
Yup mined is a 2008 ex35 (vq35hr)and sure enough the connector peice one day while heat was on sent a puff of smoke from right side up under my hood, did it twice then went away as i was in motion, turned heat off immediately, long story short 2 weeks later due to leak always drying before i can find it, parked it on a hill turned heat on and BAM leaking at connector, baught extra hoses and things but literally only connector peice literally snapped in half and was brittle and broke apart as i was taking it apart..... took a good hour to 2 to do so cause i shouldve purchased long needle nose pliers.....but yea problem fixed!
Just fired up my Z last couple days and noticed first time coolant leaked through the passenger side. Gonna address this soon thanks for the insight bro ❤️
Yeah I’m at 125k miles as the 7th owner , Had it garaged to address the clutch rattle on stock clutch, trying to save for a 34 row oil cooler and a race clutch to suit my driving habits, then this leak occurs. Definitely time for upgrades hoses lol 😁
Mine finally failed, original with 214k miles on the car. The day before my dyno tune I saw it was dripping. After my dyno tune I swapped for the metal z1 motorsports replacement. I'm glad it didnt fail while on the dyno 😅. The old piece broke into 20 pieces while trying to remove it lol.
just passed 200k on my g37x sedan been pushing my luck not fixing it but decided to do it today. one side slipped off fine but then the other side omg lol had to break it up in pieces in the hose and shake it out like you did but I got it (I hope) love the vids👍🏽
That connector with the bleeder is for the coolant hose to the left(driver side) of the engine. Still can be used there though. Just don't bother opening the bleeder.
This happened to my 37. I got 8t towed to Nissan and they diagnosed it as a leaking water pump. They wanted over $2000 for the job. Good news was they could also do the timing belt for $3000! I googled, paid $3.95 for a new one and voila. Done.

Mine blew up in my face a few years ago when I was bleeding the coolant and I happened to be in that area of the engine bay. I had to replace with OEM, but bought an Z1 that has been sitting in my garage for a little while. Luckily, the coolant was only slightly warm, but I still panicked and freaked out running around my yard, I think my neighbors thought I was crazy.
Thanks for sharing very important and interesting vid. I just wonder how big company like Nissan can try to save few bucks for production but causing a huge cost for operator ☹️
I literally just came back from work after hooning my G around and noticed a white cloud coming for under the hood. Luckily it seems like a small leak just like you had but I'm definitely going to buy the z1 replacement part just to be sure. Just one question.. Is it possible to replace the part with the coolant still in the engine? Thanks for the video btw!! this really had me worried and I was lucky enough to be a mile from home :D
What part number for that connecter, and where from? I obviously can get the hose clamps. Didn't see it in the details. Sorry if it was somewhere in there.
Any hose connector will work (granted it's the correct size) lol. I used a garden hose plastic connector and ran fine for 6 months until I switched to a metal one to prevent it from getting old and brittle like how it did the first time
@@vqdrew1171 That Dorman part number 47291 will work perfectly. These 3.7 engines didn't originally come with a bleeder like the 3.5s did which is why it probably didn't list it as a replacement. They should all be made to fit a 3/4" (19mm) heater hose.
Hi clean build man just picked up a 6mt 370z whenever I do a pull smoke starts to come through the air vent and it smell like something is burning you think it could be this?
Good god! That could be a number of things. If you hit the recycle button of the HVAC. Does the smoke still come in? See if there is some old or something burning off or something running.
what did you do with the coolant that was left in the funnel when you were done bleeding the system? Back in the coolant bottle or into the overflow tank? If the overflow tank, did you have to wait for the car to cool back down before you removed that cap or is there no pressure in it from the coolant fill cap being open with the funnel? Scared imma open it to dump the extra & get shot with steam haha
On the G it’s an overflow. On the later Z’s I believe the overflow is pressurized. I let it cool down put some in the overflow and the rest filtered and into a container.
Hello! I’m currently doing this job on my G. Heater hose cracked on me at 90k miles. Just got the Z1 Master Hose Set and changed out all of the radiator hoses and heater hoses. Went to go bleed the system but it’s still smoking from the back heater hose side. I immediately cut the car off when this happens. I saw online people saying it’s just burning the coolant off from the leak most likely and it’s normal. The gauge inside isnt showing it overheating anymore though. Should I just try and keep letting it burn off or what do you think? Thank you for your input!!
How are you filling? Do you have a fill cup like what I used that allows air to escape? Did you also crack the bleeder on the z1 fitting to let air leave the back side? Steam coming off I normal but at the same time you shouldn’t be overheating. You have some air trapped somewhere.

If you put the bleeder valve in the back, why you even bother putting the funnel to let the air out. You just simply fill up the coolant to full, turn on the engine with the max heater on, fill it all the way up and wait for all the bubbles to escape. It is an over killed job!!!
This happened to me at highway speed . It was like running over a 2 liter bottle of sprite and that was the last day i had a connection with Infiniti . I babied this car for 10 years and in last 2 years was problems after problems .

@@gray.areazz np man. Don’t forget to sub. What many have done is just change it out before it’s close to going. And Z1 have a new black version.
Where are you from? Do I hear a Trinidadian accent?
tuh de bone. Lol.
@@3rdPedalMedia haha I always spot the accent , my gf is from there
Haha nice.
Okay so my 08 g35 sedan has been overheating when sitting/idling but when driving it’s just fine then I got home from work today and I see it’s leaking a lot of coolant and I check my coolant and I have none can someone please help me out with what could be wrong ?
Did you ever find a leak, water stains etc?
You wanna fix your leak first. Then bleed out the air and see if your thermostat is good. Also make sure your radiator fans are coming on.
I'm having this issue today
Dang. Hope you got it fixed
@@3rdPedalMedia It’s Hell getting those hoses off what are the hoses called?
@@jeromemalveaux3790 those hose clamps ?
@@3rdPedalMedia both
@@3rdPedalMedia the OEM hose I caught hell trying to put the lower hose in
My timebomb ticked its last tick last night😢
Dang
If you put the bleeder valve in the back, why you even bother putting the funnel to let the air out. You just simply fill up the coolant to full, turn on the engine with the max heater on, fill it all the way up and wait for all the bubbles to escape. It is an over killed job!!!
Bleeder will spill out eventually but the funnel will about to continuously cycle the guild around letting air out without spillage.
You bleed it at the high points of the system. Like the top of the radiator as he did.
This happened to me at highway speed . It was like running over a 2 liter bottle of sprite and that was the last day i had a connection with Infiniti . I babied this car for 10 years and in last 2 years was problems after problems . Sunroof leaking , fuel tank level sensor left me stranded in the middle of a highway , heater coolant hose leakage and upper radiator hose leakage . Good bye Infiniti for good .

Mines went out at 170k miles.
Oh wow. My car got 86k
@@3rdPedalMedia how much coolant did u use?
@@faduhfade77 not much at all. About a 1/8 of a container.
Lol you don’t even show the exact location. That would help out tremendously
Maybe if you watch the entire video instead of skipping you may actually see where the exact location is.
Literally passenger side behind the the engine look for the the same hose and there you go if you know cars you wouldn’t have any trouble
Mine went at 125000
Did it blow hard or just started with a crack?
@@3rdPedalMedia
It just started to crack then I had coolant dripping from the hose, so I went and replaced all my hoses.
120 for me
