Hi all,

Im hoping someone can shed some light as to what this is thats leaking... Forgive the wonky pics im no photographer! The grease is coming out of the little hole I've circled, just under the rear-left wheel. R32 GTR.

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Thanks boys. Yeah it was hard to get a decent angle under there, it is the rear of the car. I'll take her into the shop at some point.

thats the rear of the car, right? either diff oil or attessa fluid from the pump on top of the diff.....need better pics really

It looks like the subframe bush, they have a triangular bracket that covers them. The bushes behind drivers/passenger's doors are silicone filled, the one by the diff are solid rubber. If it's only one bush leaking it will probably be ok for a while, I left mine for a fair while and replaced the sub-frame bushes once both were leaking and the rear was squirming under hard acceleration.

Best idea would be to get them checked by a suspension place just to make certain.

Thanks for the info guys. Turns out it was indeed the subframe bush. Quoted $600 in labour alone! Sheesh.

This product here, is this what I'm after?

i dont think they will fix the problem if the bushes are leaking.

you need the replacement bush from noltec. retails for about $250

yep, its either new bushes, which is a subframe out job or a set of alloy subframe alignment kits which fit down into the bush and compress it to hold the subframe firmly in place. they can be fitted without removing the subframe. they cost ~$120

do not confuse these with simple the poly pineapples which are just round rings that squash between the body and subframe. they are not shaped to fit into the subframe like the alloy blocks and do not replace the function of stuffed bushes.

Are there any noticable disadvantages to these alloy rings over replacing the bushes with noltec items?

I too am interested to know if there are any disadvantages to slotting some some alloy rings in, over busted sub frame bushes, as im in the same boat. :) ... as if they are designed to take most of load off the actual bush.. well then.. gee, that would save me removing a sub frame :mad:

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
