I know the story all too well mate. Busy is good though, pays for this expensive hobby.

hey cava, just a quick question about your old VR, you fitted a drain to the bottom radiator hose, what did you use?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Yeah I did mate. Best thing I did. Got sick of making a mess and wasting coolant when I had to continually drain it etc when I was sorting my cooling system.

 

Used these http://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/191723969035

 

I just had a bung in it. On the bottom hose facing down. You can buy little ball valves that’s screw in also.

yeah that’s what I liked about it, had to drop the coolant in my mates Vt last year, due to a faulty new radiator (slightly leaking) had to do it twice as the relplacement lasted about 3 weeks after that

I did spot a radiator drain plug with a ball valve and barb on it. So might go that way

Yeah. My 80 series has a drain plug. But the stupid thing sprays straight into the cooler lines and goes everywhere LOL

Yep, then add 3 month old to the mix and it just gets more and more Hektic.

Good thanks to mate Tony, my tires fitted are to my ceptors. Jesus Christ they are big. Gunna be a mission to fit them.

He also put my alternator bracket thru the hot wash like he did my sump and got my bolts electroplated.

I also get my surge setup on Monday. 😁

a couple of ebay 044 would of done the job nicely  but  a serge might work better

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]
