hi ive got a 1993 r33 gts-t thats auto and ive noticed that when i take the radiator cap off its like a milkshake, ive checked the engine oil on the dipstick and under the filler cap and its all clean, and i took the trans cooler lines off the radiator and hooked them straight to the trans cooler at the front of the motor and flushed the coolant out and refilled it with new coolant. but then it still goes like a milkshake under the radiator cap its had nothing done to the engine still got stock turbo on. the car starts straiht away everytime and it never over heats, and the car still boosts fine a never misses a beat

i was just wondering if anyone would know wat the problem is at all or if anyones had then same problem, or maybe is it possible that coolent and oil could be getting mixed together through inside the turbo, cheers

I dont really know if you have blown a headgasket as I am sure you would be seeing Choco milkshake effect in the engine oil,that and it would be most likely overheat. My guess is that the turbo has shit itself, allowing oil to mix with the water on that end.

Yeah you could be right, but the drain out of the turbo goes back to the block, So it should be contaminated too. When you start the car and leave it running, take the radiator cap off and see if there are any bubbles in the radiator.

Are there any welsh plugs in the block between the oil and water galleries? One of these could be corroded.

I wouldn't continue to drive it though, until you get it checked out.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
