i just installed my boost gauge and went to go take my car for a drive and see what my boost controller is set when its at hi and low setting it seems its 10psi and then 12 psi

as i pulled into the drive way i noticed some dark spots on the ground turned out its coming from the skyline

iv taken a picture of where the leak is coming from but it is night time so its not the bst pic i am worried to drive the car any more as it seems something just exploded under there ( the car does drive fine though)

the liquied is sort or browny black on the car itself but on the ground its clean with small black bits in there, doesnt smell like petrol or water

any ideas guys?? as i want to be driving again knowing im safe

Could it be power steering fluid? Had the same problem a while back and it turned out that the clamp that holds the hose to the bottom of the power steering resevoir was loose.

i went for a 2-3 hours cruze last night through the hills

so it would make sence for it to come loose

it does look like alot of the fluid is on the steering also it seems the liquid is mainly around the left of the car

btw is that a major thing if the clamp comes undone

Don't think so? I just did mine up, topped it back up and she hasn't leaked since.

Not 100% sure on this, but my other car, which is a Honda, seems to leak power steering fluid quite often so I think it's a common issue but I don't think you'll get any trouble from it tbh.

Just check the level of your power steering reservoir to be 100% sure that that is the culprit.

Water has a smell :yes: ???

Power steering fluid will be red, mine was loose to...If its clear itll probably be a water line im thinking...

Didnt notice your temp guage goup or your steering get heavy or oil pressure change..

You didnt drive through a puddle did you...

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
