get your compression checked...

My step father just had a problem on his EH with RB30ET in it,

First real drive and it blew the head gasket, once we opened it up it had obviously happened before he got the motor,

All the bore had rust marks on it and starting to pit...

the mechanic was telling him it would be alright because it was only 2 cylinders down and only 15psi...

Also check ur oil, if it's milky ur getting coolant into ur oil...

Cracked radiator?

are you absolutley sure "all" the hoses are new not just the top and bottom radiator hose...there are half a dozen hoses under the plenum / along the firewall which carry coolant, plus the heater box

I would still have a look at all the heater hoses, I had a similar issue once and it turned out to be the water feed hose for the turbo and it didnt leak unless the car was hot,

So after everything has warmed up, have a look under the car and around the engine bay, also turn the heater on and off etc, if all else fails than try as axe s has said and get a comp test done

you can have a blown gasket and not have water in the oil or vice versa. when i had a falcon i blew about 3 head gaskets and each time it was only letting water into the cylinder. never ended up with milky oil.

as for the smoking when cold, if you haven't driven the car all day and start it up in the afternoon will it blow white smoke? if it does then it is the headgasket. this can also make it hard to start sometimes.

also, i would fill up the coolant (making sure to blled it properly) then get the car hot on the spot with some cardboard under the car and look for any signs of water dripping to elimiate the chance of it having a leak somewhere.

found what the problem was ........after i was told to check the water pump ....... i went over it again .... and found a crack in the pump itself so needlessto say it was pouring out and yeah ........ thanks for everyones help muchly apprachted

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
