Changed mine around a month ago, the plastic one snapped in half as soon as i touched the clamps, and i had to dig it out with a flat head because it was breaking in 50 small pieces. I think I had caught it right before it left me stranded.
will you introduce air to the coolant system when you replace it ? im planning to change mine on my ex35 which still has the original plastic connector. will you release coolant when you disconnect the connector?
Yes, you lose some coolant but it's a very small amount. That means you'll also introduce an air pocket, but again it's small enough that the coolant system will self-bleed. It will take the coolant needed from the reservoir and you will notice the reservoir level reduces a little.
Thankfully this spot only loses a little bit of coolant, so the system was able to self-bleed and make up using the normal operation of the radiator cap and reservoir.
You can but honestly those hoses aren't thr problem. It's the connector. The hoses that should be replaced more often are the lower and upper hoses by the radiator

So what is this piece called and where can I get it my 2014 q50 just started doing the same thing
on Z1 motorsports and Concept Z they are have them called heater port
Those clamps are miserable!! Struggling to get into that tight space and get them back on the hose/connector!
You didn’t have to bleed the coolant system ?

That’s what the reservoir is for it’ll drink more coolant as you lose little
180k?? mine is at 97 with a leak from here
My is 50 and start showing green stuff, order the aluminum bleeder but straight aluminum will do it too.
why didnt you just replace the whole hose system vs just nipple

Very bad design and product nissan my connector snapped in half stranded and prick of a place to replace
