    Rally R50: photos, videos, technical solutions and specifications

    I reckon that's a VG33. You can see the two cylinder heads on either side, and the intake manifold seems to match. It's definitely not a TD series diesel, looks nothing like those, and the turbo should be where the air filter is. 
    Да не, это обычный VQ35DE. Передняя стенка и впускной коллектор выдают. Сравните сами.599e590787cf24bcab19ec2b5cf14132.jpg

    Disappearing coolant

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    This issue was still bugging me as of this morning since I did not see the coolant level rise or lower in the reservoir. I removed the end that is on radiator neck and blew on the hose. Nothing. It was definitely clogged. I grabbed a small tire inflator to push air though and still nothing. So I proceeded to pull off the headlight assembly and and loosen the reservoir enough to remove the hose. I got a peek inside and there was sludge. Looked like chewed up paper. I blew that out with the compressor and now it seems to be flowing back and forth. I've never had a clogged overflow hose and lost coolant. My questions are:

     

    What do you guys think happened to the coolant if not leaked internally? I looked at the areas mentioned above and didn't see anything out of the norm.

    Should the radiator cap be replaced?

    How much pressure would build up in radiator/cooling system because of this?

    Zdarova!
    I had the same headache.
    First, you have already photographed the leak: the upper part of the radiator.
    You either need to change the upper radiator seal, or the radiator itself.
    Article of sealant 21414-4P200
    Analog radiator from 60 rubles and their articles: https://www.exist.ru/price.aspx?pid=32E02BD6&sr=75&Cat=Nissan
    The acquaintance made a replacement two months ago. The permutation was made with the help of usual pliers.https://www.drive2.ru/l/487616090684260612/
    If the hands grow from the right place, you can save 3-10 times and change only the gasket.

    Zdorova mjotrainbrain!
    I was helped by a friend with his welding semi-automatic to digest corrosion on the front spars. https://www.drive2.ru/l/462317702518669368/
    But today one dude posted a photo of the fact that he made repairs using a conventional inverter welding machine. https://www.drive2.ru/l/493015517410362064/
    You can, of course, zamorochitsya and digest the whole spar, but it's expensive and long in terms of finding a donor. And this option can only be passed by the master. https://www.drive2.ru/l/7019229/
    The most important disadvantage of the third option is that the metal rusts in the places where there was welding. No master will be able to repeat welding with the use of sealant in joints of seams on metal.
    Therefore it is better, I believe, to do only work on the place where the through corrosion, and not cut off the whole spar.
    The more so that you can process the work places with a rust converter, acid primer, sealant and mastic there you can from both sides.
    Google normally copes with the translation?
