How to delete SU water pipe when installing Mikunis

Featured Replies

Hi all,

When removing SUs how do you convert the 3 way heater pipe to 2 way? A 5/8 to 3/4 4" pipe with a 45 would be a dream come true so the heater core hose isnt bent for a straight pipe reducer but I've searched for days with no luck.

Im not sure there is enough material in that pipe to tap a plug and I dont really want to use a cap. Any ideas I would appreciate it!

Cheers

I'm chucking ideas here, Nissan did make a cap to blank off heater size pipes (1/2" ex dia), 14058-14600 was originally for the Datsun SP311, but it's a correct Nissan part for such a job. Whether you can find one in the US is another matter, I got mine direct from Japan.

Try Amayama in Japan

Thanks guys, in the mid term im going to cap it off with an hps 19mm coolant bypass cap. I think I will pick up a spare 3 way pipe as well and see about having it welded / capped off.
