Thanks in advance

hey mate, which one is it exactly? the one going from the back of the motor to the thingo bolted to the firewall or from the thingo on the firewall to the passenger side leading into the heater box in the dash?

Lol@thinho too

hey sorry shouldve asked for op to close thread

by the time I posted I realized car was cool enough to locate and source the problem hose, found that original r32gtst heater hoses from coupling/joiner (brass/copper piece) at back of block to firewall in engine bay turbo had been stretced on to rb25 coupling/joiner causing weak link eventually deteriorating thought it had been replaced been replaced but Obviously wasn't and I didn't double check prior to signing off on installation. Like I really knew/saw that coming edit: previously replaced said multi coupling/joiner due to corrosion.

Anyways seeing as noone could deliver went for a walk with abit of the damaged hose and searchfor garden hose noticeably bigger than rb20 hose and then with residents permission took a lenth long enough to do a ubolt behind block and bypass the heater/firewall and return all together.

Was very happy with myself. Rebled entire cooling system at 7 eleven and even entertain led the attendand to a bit of an engine education lesson lol.

Unfortunately I was driving home low boost like max 6psi kept eye on temp&boost guage all the way home and just as I get off great western hwy turbo decides it wantS to leak boost massively and then not come on boost at all, assume damage may have been coming soon as I put 2.5bar through the other rb25 I had just replaced with the said turbo and had a little shaft play but been going strong at 1.1bar for last month or so but yeah Story of an sau'ers life really

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
