The amount used on different driving situations was and is the same from day one as it was when we found the water in the oil.

Yet the oil still looked clean on the stick , not as you would expect ?

Depends on how hot your oil was getting on long drives, how long you drove it for, and how fast the leak was. Your catch can would have told a differnet story, unless it returns to sump.

Oil thats up to temp (85+) will boil off the water in coolant for a slow leak, yet also slowly contaminate it. The water would collect at the very bottom of the sump too, under 8lt of oil. Not detectable on a stick.

I'd like to see a photo of the top of the block where the 1/2" thread inserts were installed for the head studs when you have it apart.

That is about how it was, when cold about 100mm of water came out the plug hole first.

It was a slow leak and marginally more when boost was used.

The situation is a real pain in the arse/ pocket as well !

An amazing arrogance you have...

How do you work that out, that statement needs backing up.

But you seem like some other blokes on here, put your brain in gear before you flap your trap. lol

Is there one particular one you would choose or just a general mix ?

"to dismiss all the academic work on the subject displays breathtaking arrogance"





Saw your car at Jez's. Looked great and he said you had something big in the works for it, but I guess that's on hold now. Hope it goes well.

HI Josh, comes up OK, but black is a pain. looks good cleaned up :yes:

It seems I have been on hold for EVER, lol

Probably to do with my arrogance :special:

That is a great observation , too much negativity, really :special:

Having ones motor farked is good reason to be negative , but I am waiting for a report back from the motor builder.

Good luck with it all peter.

Definitely hasn't been an easy journey for you, I hope you get to enjoy the car soon.

Thanks mate, it is not the end of the world for me, but if it happened to a young bloke that was spending his last cent on a build, it would be devastating !

I cannot wait to get it back , now were pretty sure the block is cracked, looks like between 2 & 3 cylinders , it being sent to a motor builder to pull down and start the build again and then back to the shop to put it all back together, looking at a fair wait , maybe 6-8 weeks but I am sure it will be worth it :wub:

Sorry to hear Pete. Just get a bigger turbo and you won't have a problem next time around.

haha, now you tell me , 18 months ago would have been a better time, lol

I did.

:D

I thought you and others said, put a V8 or a V12 in as I could never get an R34GTR to be responsive, well not like a V8 or my V6 TT350GT :yes:

But I had too much ear wax to hear, oh and at my age lots of hair in there :woot:

Not giving up :nyaanyaa:

Just gotta luv the skyline :wub:

Its all worth it for that one month a year that they run perfectly. Just ignore the other 11 months of the year that they don't.

A month, you get to use yours for a whole MONTH, I am so jealous :ohmy:

I could have still used mine and put some goldfish in the sump :whistling:

  • 1 month later...

The water leak has been found and once I have everything in black and white I will post the results. This should be at the end of January, I am sure you will find it interesting :yes:

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year :cheers:

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
