your coolant system is suppose to be topped off and bleed. after that if you pop the top off and coolant is just running out, yea its to much. The coolant should sit right at point of where the Neck on the radiator start.

I took the S-shaped heater hose off and the nozzle is intact but it appears that the rubber seal around the nozzle is bad which is causing the leak. I've checked Courtesy Nissan and the part(rubber seal) is no longer available. I'm thinking maybe try the junkyard but if I can't get one could I use a RTV or something to seal this up?
They no longer sell this seal! I'm probably not going to be able to remove one at the junkyard without destroying the seal.

S-CHASSIS RULES!!!
Okay I went out there and removed the cooling unit to see if I could gain some kind of access to the side of the heater core and spy a leak and this is what I found.
No leaks on the inside, so I put the hose back on the nozzle and tightened it down and the leak seems to be gone. I guess I just wasn't tightening the hose clamp down enough...probably in fear of busting the nozzle.
I just went back out and checked again and there is just a trickle of coolant that looks to be just some excess that was on or in the rubber firewall stopper. How tight do you think I can clamp that hose down without busting the nozzle? Thanks to Biggamehit for the tip on the hose tightening.

Fan Problems!!!
Okay now that the coolant leak has been taken care of, I no longer have any leaks at all. My next problem is the fans, I still can't get them to come on. As I stated before, I used the battery cable/screwdriver method to test the fans and they both function and they are set up to push or pull or whatever the correct way to blow is for this radiator. I've checked the connections on the wiring and everything is intact and the fuse is not blown. I took the battery cables off and just applied the ground and power wires for the fan controller itself in an attempt to program it and I can hear it click over so it's functional as well. I followed the directions for programing and I can't get them to pulse like the directions say that they should. I also just set them to 0 which is 150 degrees, the lowest temp on the controller, and let the car idle until the water temp got to 150 and they have yet to come on. Unless anyone has any ideas, I'm gonna get a switch from the parts store and wire up the manual switch and see if that turns them on.

I went back and looked over the thread and remembered that I had the taps for the white and gray wires on the ECU part of the harness...
the first time that I did it but like a dumb***...
I redid it to put the taps on the coolant temp sensor part of the harness but the pic on for the SR setup on FRSport clearly has the taps on the ECU part of the harness next to the big gray plug like I originally had it so I'm gonna try that.

Thanks for the part numbers. The heat isnt working in my car because there are no hoses going to the heater core. Haha. Its not the thermostat. It has a brand new nismo thermostat in it.
Are those part numbers only good for heavy throttle or can I use them at autozone or another parts store to get the hoses?
