Hi guys

Just needing some help before i go to the mechanics.

r32 gts4 RB20DET. Just recently I had the heater on full blast then i notice the smell of coolant burning up and car was over heating. Now when I pour water into the radiator it drip quiet fast out under the intake manifold. I thought it was the heater hoses. But ive stuck my hands under there and no water is coming out of the heater hoses.

Where could this be coming from?

Thanks

Under the plenum there is a tiny hose maybe 2 inches at most mine was split there, can be a pita to change as access is poor.

i had a few of these splits in mine

best bet is to take off the start motor as picture ^^.. and replace all those hoses with just generic ones.. I've had them let go before.. also there's another one that goes from the throttle bottle and down under the plenum.. that likes to explode too.

Yeh that was it, but i did it from above without removing anything jus had a torch and mirror the only hard bit was putting it back on.

Getting one end on is easy the other is a bit harder I sat it in boiling water for a while to make it softer and more forgiving to get it on. Replaced the clamps with worm drive ones too.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
