rb25det neo

there are two pipes that run underneath the waterline for the turbo.

one of them is leaking coolant .. my mechanic knows dick all about them and needs a photo of the rear of a rb25 out of a car or a blueprint or soemthing so that he knows where the water is coming from or watever.

plus i jsut pu a big f-off turbo in on the weekend and i havn't got to thrash it yet becoz of this.

SO PLEASE help!

if anyone can give me pic. or lead me in direction of soemthign i can print out to explain the water system inbetween the block and the firewall

PLz

thank you - joel.

Maybe the car doesn't want you to drive it :)

I vote you get a new mechanic who knows what he is looking at.

If you just put a new turbo on, and the coolant line to the turbo is leaking, then check the line and the fitting? you might not have connected it properly?

I think i know the line you are referring to, it runs a metal pipe off the turbo and then goes to a rubber hose behind the rocker covers, it runs to the back of the inlet manifold. If so its a little bit of a pain to get off, although it would most likely have been taken off to fit your turbo. If it is leaking from the metal part i would suggest thinking about getting a braided line made up to allow for more flex due to the different size/position of the turbo. Hope it helps.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
