Sup Fam,

I believe it's time to replace my radiator cap as it has yet to be replaced ever (68k miles on the car).

Is there a "best" radiator cap? If so, what company and where can I get it?

I am debating just going to Advanced Auto and buying this:

CARQUEST or Stant Radiator Cap 10267: Advance Auto Parts

Only $13 so how can you beat that.. The only thing is that it looks kinda ugly, and I would like a more "aftermarket-ee" looking cap, but one that also does meet the pressure standards.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Triippy

 

Let me google that for you

 

I mean...unless you have an aftermarket radiator just stick with oem.
For hoses, a nice upgrade would be Mishimoto.

 

 

always has to be someone... lol. I trust "word of mouth" from this thread over googleing g37 radiator cap...

 

For an OEM Spec hose, I have always been happy with Gates products. They are top notch. If you insist on paying more just to have the Nissan logo then go right ahead

 

.... ones that don't leak.

 

A reputable aftermarket hose is ok. As for radiator caps or thermostats, stick with oem or a performance model if you race/track the car.

When was the last time the coolant got changed?

 

 

unless its leaking, or you're looking for bling, no need to replace it - the replace "every 2 years" or "every coolant change" is B.S.

 

pretty sure I rode with my OEM cap since 08 and 90k miles... only recently did I replace it but it was only for an ARC cap lol

 

Other than dressing up the engine or if it is leaking, there is no need to replace your rad cap. They are not a normal maintenance item.

The rad cap on my Maxima lasted 246,000 miles and on my Altima 205,000 miles.

 

 

Z1motorsports has replacements for both.

 

This, never in my life have I had to replace a radiator cap. The cap will always outlast the radiator.
