My car leaks Coolant from the inside like its allo on the mats and shit, i dont know whats wrong i thought maybe it was a hose but we fixed it and it is still leaking... so my car overheats and what not... i dont know whats wrong ?? help !!

You most likely have a cracked heater core...

You can bypass it for the time being (until you get it repaired). Theres two coolant hoses in the engine bay that pass through the firewall; disconnect them from the firewall and join them together in some fashion.

Yep your heater core has gone... this happens when the water stagnates in the core and rusts it. Do a search in the forum for "heater core replacement". A second hand one will cost between $100 - $150 and will involve a lot of work on your part. Most workshops quote around $1000 to change as it is a big job.

Good luck

Hey guys i think im having a simular problem with my r32 gtst.

I have to keep toppping up the radiator coolant everyday, its leaking somewhere, and i cant seem to see exactly where from.

I got under the car and couldnt see water dripping from anywhere at all!

I have to keep toppping it up everyday otherwise the car overheats and steam piss'es out from the top of the engine bay.

What are the other possible causes of a issue like this????

Cheers

Tone.

Number 1 - Check that all your hoses are tight and are not cracked. Pressure builds when the system gets warm. The leak may be closed when cold but when your engine warms the cracks or loose hoses can open up and leak. Hoses should NOT be "scrunchy" when you squeeze them. - also check your radiator for coolant stains - on the top and bottom tanks and on the core itself.

Number 2 - How many kms has your car done? If more than 100,000 and you haven't fitted a new water pump - Time to do so.

The seals in it wear out and leak.

Number 3 - How full is the radiator over flow bottle? Check if this level is between min and max. If the bottle is full then there is a chance your car is overheating and the water is coming out through there.

would be best to replace both radiator hoses if you have an old r32.

Mine sprung a leak and pissed coolant all over the engine bay.

The hole was a size of a pin, but due to the high pressure in the system it sprayed it all out.

Picked up a top radiator hose from nissan for $60, but i hear you can buy a pair from autobarn for $120 now

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
