Leaking engine? Cracked hoses? Or something worse....

Hiya folks. Been with my gtt for a little while and problems have been popping up but I've been getting those fixed as soon as possible. Had the ac compressor replaced last week and everything has been running fine until today.

Went out in the afternoon and found that the car was going through some really rough idling. Usually its at 1300rpm but today was going up and down between 2500 and 1800. Oil temperature went wayyy up in the 100+ usually its at 70 - 90. 

Pulled over and had a look under the hood. Looked near the back of the engine towards the firewall and saw that a plug or a nozzle had cracked or popped. Not entirely sure what it is... Seeing if anybody here has experienced anything similar.. Or any idea whats going on with this. Any help is much appreciated.

It's a cap, because someone has blocked off your heater setup. Either replace all of the caps, because they look crap, or put the hoses back to make the heater operational

Why does your car normally idle so crazy high?

Ahh, icic, will be getting it replaced today then, along with the other one :) appreciate the clarification. I know the hoses were removed because im told the previous owner had some leakage problems. Not too sure why it idles high but have been trying to figure everything out since i got her earlier this year :)  Thanks again.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
