The valve should remain closed. If you have air trapped, you need to heat cycle (hot/cold/hot/cold) until the air is no longer trapped. Like it says in the video, you should let the car cool fully before driving the first time.
i have done this process but my car overheats when i take it for long drives that r over and hour long of highway driving. How to i get the air out? Should i open the release valve n the back and rev at 3000rpms?
Thanks for the video, I followed your steps and it made it really easy. I appreciate you taking the time to do this for evryone with a G35! Nicely done!
probably not, I’ve had negative experience with stant rad-caps; Over overpressurization & ballooning of the radiator hoses, So Personally I don’t trust the product.
You replace the radiator cap because the gasket gets brittle and will not hold pressure which causes a loss fluid, causing overheating; they also get gunk built up inside not allowing the mechanism to open or close fully. DO NOT BUY STANT or any AFTERMARKET RADIATOR CAPS. USE ONLY AN O.E.(“original equipment from manufacturer”.) CAP. You will only waste money on junk that will fail, by cheaping out.
you can also try using a spill free funnel to bleed the system.

Right, this video was pointless, my g35 keeps overheating when i take it for long drives.

If it doesn’t spill, keep pouring coolant into the radiator filler neck, eventually it will spill out.
Have you ever had a situation where no fluid spills from the air plug?
Looks great. Mine is overheating. Will be doing this and changing the thermostat tomorrow.
Flushing is really only needed if you have a lot of contamination. Usually about 1.5 gallons of coolant/distilled water (50/50) will be used.
A few questions, the system doesn’t need to be flushed? And how much coolant is used? Thanks Eugene!
The system can be stabilized be heating and cooling several times as outlined in the factory service manual.
Don’t you need to burp your system? Every other video has that step or is that not required for this vehicle?
Because it is not part of the FSM procedure.
Why didn’t you drain the block?

Nice vid but why a new radiator cap?
