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.

steve

    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
    • Just to get this straight if you turn the splined shaft to the outside, it turns freely but the chain does not move? What happens when you move the chain, does the splined shaft turn? Surely the shaft is snapped, or the chain is seized and it took the teeth off whatever great is behind the steel bracket
    • Good on you for mentioning, that helps as far as other things you might need to check
