Hi Everyone!!

My car is a 98 ER34 GTT I had recently upgraded my stock brake line to NISMO brake hose, and using Endless brake fluids. I find out after driving there is oil leak from the bottom of the car, does it happened into any members car in here?? Need Some Help ASAP.

Yes, it is critical to know whether the leak is brake fluid or not before you drive the car again.

If you sit in the car and pump and then hold the brake pedal, does it slowly sink to the floor? If so you have a brake fluid leak somewhere that you need to sort out before using the car again.

And if you aren't sure, get a mechanic to check it.

Check the brake fluid reservoir - is it low? Follow the leak back to the source. One of the lines may be a bit loose, but you should use a flare nut spanner to tighten it as open enders can damage the fitting. If fluid has leaked onto the pads you'll have to replace them as well.

I had same problem when I had my Nismo lines fitted, I didnt notice a leak but I noticed 24hrs after my fluid was about 4mm below the max line. Mechanic tightened up all 4 corners and since then I haven't lost a drop

This thread is a clear example of not f**king with stuff when you don't know what you are doing. You could have killed yourself or someone else if the brakes failed and without fluid they fail. Next time you need work done to critical parts of the car like the brakes either know what you are doing or don't f**k with it.

Sounds harsh but seriously count yourself lucky your car ain't written off or worse.

Mechanic tightened it up. f**king hell... domokun.gif

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

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
