You can say that again bud, the owner has been driving around like this for a while. Is there no local places where i can get one? To get something that small shipped here costs more than the bottle itself. Insane i tell you.
what happen to the bottle? acid? heat?

Dropping another motor in, "they" say it's much cheaper than repairing the original motor. So i have to see what mikes autotech has.
I hope all this works out. My older bro and i sold our cars for round about the same price and we seeing which comes out best. He bought a Subaru. Then when the cars are complete we going to do a few challenges (Top gear style challenges and a drag race) and see.
Wait for the write up, it should be good lol
LOL hope u win!
Im not 100% sure but i think the covers are the same as the 1400 nissan bakkie covers 😀
the covers and lights are the same, aswell as box shape 1tonner / hardbody.so us can use the clears and the new angel eyes from there too.
the lights are the same as the 1400 bukkie
but not the plastic surround...good luck finding one ..look for a scrap sx or on ebay
the bottle ebay has but shipping is stupid i can make you a aftermarket one as im going to make myself one someday

Hmmm, the funny thing is, the water bottle is purely there just to catch over flow, it serves no other purpose, thats why the old owner drove it like that, it's just to make sure that water doesnt mess on everything....
Just run a pipe down to the underside of the car from your radiator, plus then ou got some extra space to play with, lol, like a water methanol tank, he he he
I also thought that, cuz my bottle also has a hole in it, not as severe though, but I think the idea is to have a sealed system, because now if I drive a little happy footed i have steam coming out there, and I have removed the thermostat valve, it froze closed on me.
without a sealed system the water starts boiling at a lower temperature due to the vapour pressure being lower, if the system is sealed the vapour pressure automatically increases as the water starts steaming and it then suppresses the production of steam, so i also drive around with a water bottle, cuz now my radiator water evaporates and it takes about two to three weeks of evaporation before the water starts getting to a point I have to refill.
Also not having the thermo-valve mabob doesnt help.
I'd rather seal it off or replace with any other bottle that will fit. then again just removing it and sealing off the hole in the radiator will make something else blow if pressure is too high.
maybe there is another cars bottle that will do the job?
2 cents worth.
