He guys. On my RB25 neo, Whats above the alternator and can leak coolent? Water pump? Ive got a slight leak coming from there. Nothing big just annoying. Could be a gasket i guess to.

Anyone else had this problem before?

Thanks Luke

Heater core perhaps... depends how the neo is laid out. ive just fixed a coolant leak from behind the rb26 which was heater core, replaced 3 hoses... cost a fair bit cause they had to remove the starter and some other shite to get to it, but im glad its done... i lost 2 litres of the nissan coolant, and that shyt is $14 per litre ;|

-D

ah top hose, temp sensor, could even be thermostat or lower hose. If it was water pump it would be more likely to run down the side of the block.

^^^^^all these plus

havent looked at mine but the RB's have a hose under the intake plenum for coolant, hides slow leaks well? and they rot out, comes out near alternator or starter area

waterpump leaks end up under the front pulleys area or on the ground below front covers, check the weep hole under the pump, pretty sure the neo have one most cars do. if the fan rocks a tiny bit when you wiggle the fan the pump is on the way out? could be a day or a year?

we can have a peek if your coming to show and shine ?i have a coolant leak detector, let me see if i have batteries for it, bring it if i do

haha the rick rolling started tonight on the 31 forums..ah.. funny stuff..i got sum people aswell...ah i am the king!

until you have people asking to have you banned and start receiving pm's from mods to knock it off, youre not.

just found your rickroll, im surprised more than one person fell for it, talk about poorly executed, saying "dont ban me" sorta gives the game away.

Cheers guys, Its running down the drivers side of the block all the way to the sump and staining it. Looks like its coming from the block near the alternator.

Hope its not to hard to fix. Might do 100k service soon to then.

I think its easier to learn something when you have some kind of physical application to cross reference...

You can read about something as much as u want, unless you actually see how it works in real life you won't understand the references

At least thats what I've found about myself... I could read a whitepaper 10 times and still not understand it.... attempt to implement it on a running machine, while maybe breaking the system, I'd usually do it in half the time it'd take me to read the damn manual.... then again im a linux engineer by trade and the documentation often sucks so learning the systems yourself are usually the best route anyhow

I agree totally. The easiest methods of teaching is visual, verbal and practical. When I was tutoring Accounting at UniSA, I found relating exercises to things the students did in everyday life helps. If they can picture the application, they can understand it.

BTW I loved maths (I got to, I'm a bookkeeper and drafter for urban planning, which requires numerical skills). One day I'll figure out how to arrange those letters after my name :)

to be honest penny,never even heard of it..lol better google it

I use Castrol Edge for now

I ask because a guy at my work used to import it and now makes it, I have read a bit about it and I like what I read.

Would like to know if anyone has put it to the test here!

ok everyone calm down.

Ripper is obviously young and didn't think about what he was posting or thought about the ramifications.

Ripper, please tone it down.

Everyone else, give the kid a break. I have deleted and cleaned up the posts. No more - I don't have time

Hmmm , I think I would stick to a well known and tested brand

there is a oil thread on the main page to SAU

On that site it says extended oil changes???, well oil also removes crap from combustion and contaminates, still needs to be changed per nissan specs or more if you live on dirt roads or race it.

it looks to be based more for service trucks that get oil changes on time ever time

so many better choices I think???

how much does it cost do you know?

makes it himself???,, what is it from chip shop oil..lol

Its more legit then that haha.

Its sold in a few different Dyno shops, Its around the same price as your top quality synthetic oil so around $75 i think.

They are an American company but he now makes it here (properly in a factory with chemit chemical guys etc).

Im going to do some more research!

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
