So I had a surprise yesterday while leaving work. I had just pulled on the road and started gassing it and all the sudden my car starts cutting out, my SES light comes on, and my water temp starts rising. I pull into a Chili's parking lot and pop my hood, and my radiator hose has come off and coolant is all over the engine bay

I was stuck there for an hour trying to cool it down.

What had happened was that when I installed my crank pulley on Monday I pulled the radiator hose off to get more room. I put it back on and clamped it back, but I forgot one clamp, so the hose was just sitting on the nozzle, and when I started driving it just came off.

Now here's my question: I mixed water with my coolant, should I just leave it like that or should I drain the radiator and go with straight coolant again?

The coolant that comes from Nissan is premixed 50/50,they make a tool you can buy at Autozone cost less than 10 bucks it will tell you what deg your antifreeze is good for both ways.

Actually, the coolant is not premixed. I just drained/flushed my cooling system last weekend and replaced the coolant with Nissan part number L248SP. It is the green stuff you typically get at the Nissan parts counter and needs to be mized 50/50 with water. Note: ALWAYS use distilled water in your cooling system,

An exception is if you can get teh blue stuff that comes with the car from the factory. It is premixed, but is also hard to find. BTW: there is no issue with mixing the blue and green.

Have a safe 4th!!!
