My only theory is that I had somehow folded or wedged this hose and blocked of the hose. There for not letting the radiator and cooling system relive the excess pressure to the top tank. The pressure was so great in the cooling system, the bottom hose clamp, which is the OEM spring loaded clamp type, opened up momentarily, the excess pressure was relieved( hence the coolant all through the LHS wheel arch) and then simply closed up again once the pressure was gone.
I was bloody lucky I didn't bust anything.

My new[2nd hand] roof rack has now been modified, lights fitted
F&R and sprayed gloss black, as Matt black turned to shite very quickly,
and is ready to fit, Have a few coming over to lift it on this arvo, well thats the plan.
Taped some "U" shaped rubber for the feet to cushion the gutters.
As it came off a GU it should not need any adjustments, the wait is on lol

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

This is one thing I do like about the ZD's. You lose water, it shuts down.

Installed the tweeters /piezio speaker about mid way up the Pillar moulding what a pitb job.
think I'll go to the speed shop and grab a can of spray paint to match the moulding.
Over all happy with the way it worked out, I'll put a pic after I spray them
