Well just last night my car blew the front lower turbo coolant return hose(the small lower one on the front of the engine) and decided it would over heat on me but i caught it in time and i threw the clutch in and the car stalled completly as i rolled off the road.

The engine bay was covered in coolant but i was lucky and caught it early enough not to send the gauge to the red.

now we filled it back up with coolant and cleaned it off and the car runs fine until about 5 minutes after it has warmed up fully.

After the 5 or so minutes the car seems like the timing goes way off and sounds like a damn Tractor and full boost comes at 4500 instead of 3300.

Anyone able to give me some good ideas as to what it might be.

Thanks

Once you loose coolant the guage wont read right as there is no coolant for the sender to measure. You have possibly overheated it enough to blow the head gasket. Tolerances change once warm so it might run fine until it heats up but then leaks after that. Try doing a compression test and a CO2 test on the cooling system to be sure.

Hope im wrong

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • 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!
