have you looked under the oil filler cap? check to see if there's any mayo type looking sttuf, which could indicate a blown head/head gasket etc. also check the hoses around the sprayed area for crack etc.

but as para said, give it a clean and see if it comes back.'

steve

p.s refer to the cum stains thread for cleaning

Hmm blown head, dont like the sound of that!!!

I havent cleaned it yet, its off the road until the new turbo goes on because it needs tuning and i cant afford to tune before AND after the turbo goes on :dry:

well, check the oil cap anyways. and the radiator cap etc.

Yeh they are fine... might have to look further when i get it tuned

I really really hope head is fine, i was going to put metal head gasket in,

but thought i'd do that later when i rebuild it all.

thanks mate

check the coolant lines that run through the throttle body, looks like one of them could be the culprit.

Cheers

Ill post another pic, where i think it could be coming from (just based on the directionality of the spray)

Its slightly greeny so i was thinking coolant

Anyway here is the pic

I'm guessing its the air pressure release bolt (not sure about the formal name) for the cooling system. Not sure where it is on the RB25s but on the RB20 it is near there and I didn't tighten mine up properly when I flushed out the system and when it got hot you could see small drops of coolant leak out.

Check that along with the coolant lines running through the throttle body as someone else suggested.

that looks like dried coolant, so yeah, defently check those spots with the arrows.

steve

    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it. 
    • Save the youtube time, I can explain in a couple of sentences:   Internal Combustion Engines run on smoke which is factory installed. If at any time the smoke escapes (generally via the exhaust), the engine will stop running.
    • That specific R33 GTST issue I ran across was putting a PowerFC into a series 2; it required a fuse added into an existing but unused circuit to fire up the PFC. That won't be the issue here as I assume the ECU powered up (OP surely would have mentioned if they couldn't connect). As Matt said, Haltech do have specific information about wiring in the Platinum Pro where there are minor differences across the 2 row plug models (R32/R33 from memory). Quick Start guide at this link: https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-055101-platinum-pro-plug-in-ecu/# At a quick glance, it is more likely to be a local wiring issue than ECU wiring (eg that connector near the left headlight might have differences) Start with the age old question....are you getting fuel and spark, at the right time
    • Stay away from Enkeis for track use, they crack, just ask the Evo kids. I'd take Murray's advice and put the widest forged wheels in the right offset under them I could find
