In this video, I’ll guide you through replacing the stock plastic heater hose joiner with a robust GKTech metal coolant bleeder port. This upgrade is crucial for any Nissan owner, as the OEM plastic hose joiner is notorious for breaking unexpectedly, potentially leaving you stranded and facing dangerous situations. Nissan's design flaw can lead to sudden coolant loss, but with this simple yet effective upgrade, you can ensure your cooling system's reliability and durability.
🔧 Why Upgrade?
*Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns:* The stock plastic joiner can fail without warning, leading to coolant leaks and engine overheating.
*Enhanced Durability:* The GKTech metal coolant bleeder port is built to last, providing a more secure and long-lasting solution.
*Peace of Mind:* Drive confidently knowing your cooling system is fortified against one of its weakest points.
🛠️ What You'll Need:
GK Tech Metal Coolant Bleeder Port
Basic hand tools
Coolant
Flexible spring clamp pliers
Step-by-Step Installation:
1. *Preparation:* Ensure your engine is cool and gather all necessary tools.
2. *Drain Coolant:* Safely drain the coolant to prevent spills.
3. *Remove Stock Joiner:* Carefully remove the stock plastic heater hose joiner.
4. *Install GKTech Bleeder Port:* Install the new metal bleeder port, ensuring a secure fit.
5. *Refill Coolant & Bleed Air:* Refill the cooling system and bleed any air to ensure optimal performance.

How did you bleed the air out after you installed the part back on the hoses? I see you lifted the coolant reservoir above the engine bay and started your car on jacks. And I’m assuming you just keep refilling the reservoir until it was full. But how did you force out the air without opening the radiator cap and filling from that end as well?
Used a coolant funnel and the back bleed port that was installed in this video.
Get the flex hose clamp/ 90, 45, and straight long needle nose pliers
Nah a flexible hose clamp plier works a charm
How many coolant bottles do I need ?
Depends how much spills out, but the whole system required 8.5L I only used 3-4L of my bottle
I'm stuck on the back right tiny hose
I haven’t touched those hoses yet hahah just the back left ones
@HustleGarageTV you thought the left heater hose was hard.... lol. I think I'm going to bust out a box cutter to get that 4 in little bastard
@chiliewhilie84 hahahah damn now I’m looking forward to delaying this hahaha
Homie I bought a Z1 port like 2 weeks ago and been pushing back on putting it on 😂 guess I needa do it asap
Hahahah I was the exact same, legit held onto my new gktech one for like 2 months 😂 but glad it’s done and I don’t have to worry about it anymore
Mine broken when driving last month and had to get tow truck home
Oh no, I’ve heard so many stories of these just breaking out of no where out on the road! Hope you got it fixed
Damn i need to change mine asap
Highly highly recommend!
@@HustleGarageTVthank you bro
Lucjy Save...Got my 2009 with 175k on the clock first thing I did was order up the adaptor from GK.. Prevention ls easier then cure haha Also Waiting on Gallery Gasket Video...Haha ... That's the Achilles heel of this engine. Unfortunately, not an easy job, but you need to do it, bud..
Very, just glad mine lasted 200k km 😂 gallery gaskets are definitely something I need to do, a lot of things go into that but needs to be done hahaha
@HustleGarageTV Do water pump and Timing chain at the same time.. Would make a super video... Keep up the great work.. Save up for a supercharger.. haha..
@@maciekproko9313 yeah I have to do all the works while I’m there anyways hahah
Man all these plastic parts suck, all to lower costs for the manufacturers but ticking time bomb to customers
100% such weak points. Not even asking for much but just put metal where you know plastic will fail. But I guess that’s the beauty of us working on our cars to make them better than factory
