No pics, but on the R34, there is a drain at the bottom of the rad (a screw plug basically).

Drain from there, and then refill as usual, and start up, and top-up. Also check the level in the side tank (inner wing o/s) and this should be filled with Antifreeze

I used original Nissan coolant. Comes in litre bottles IIRC, and is green in colour
