Hey,

I started my r32 gtst today and when I reversed I seen a small puddle of water on the ground. When I opened the bonnet I could see that the water was running down where the bellhouseing of the gearbox and the engine meet. It is quite rapid. Does anyone know where this may be coming from?

The water supply for the turbo runs behind the back of the head from the drivers side to the passenger side and there is a small section of hose on the drivers side.

Something to look for in addition to the heater hoses.

Car history:

R33 gtst 93 model coupe. stock motor, just had timingbelt, raditor and fan belts changed, reaplced the hose going into heater core as it blew, new radiator hoses and was flushed. every oil reaplced(even lsd). spark pulgs been about 7k. inlet gasket been replaced. was going to get coil packs checked/have a look at for the 5500rpm sputter.

Problem:

mine blew that hose the other day in my drive way, this is after it stalled as i was idling into my driveway and i was nursing it home after i found out that the power steering hose was leaking. i immeditalley turned it back on and put tap water into the radiator. this is after i noticed steam coming out drivers side, and coolant pouring out of the drivers side from under the inlet manifold.

the temp was standard for a bit then went to 3/4 then back too normal and i switched it off. About 1 minute after the tap water was going into radiator, steam came out of the radiator.

We have found it to be the hose, and I havent moved or started the car since. dan(3l3teracing) did find the hose when he came over too have a look, and said this hose on the driver side, at the back of the block under the inlet manifold has spilt. heater hoses or something...

note: it wasnt leaking water before hand, and 3 days prior i had checked the oils and water in the motor and topped up the power sterring fliud. after this i noticed a fish smell in the car, assuming the power steering fluid was the smell.

other than that the car was running fine and no knocks or idle problems.

I was wondering if this is bad news as it was around 6am on a cold morning... I'm going to get dan to replace the hose and do a test on it and we'll find out then, but I was just wondering if I should be looking for new pistons and a head :domokun: or just get a Neo and replace the rb25det.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
