Hi all,

first of all I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Kury and own a Skyline GTR R34.
I love to work on the Sky myself, but am not a pro mechanic at all.
After removal and strip down of the engine for overhauling, we put back all parts together. The engine fires up and is running smooth and basically I could be very happy about the outcome. Unfortunately I still have one pipe left, that I can not match where to place it the correct location. 

Has anyone seen this part before and can give me guidance, clues and advice where to place it the right way, please?? The engine is dry and nothing is leeking, even after running a while.

Thanks in advance, your support is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Kury

Thanks for clarifying.

Checked the brakes, power steering, turbo water waste gate etc. Looks good. No liquids coming out somewhere. Not sure if it might be a part of the transmission. I am really becoming crazy. If anyone has any ideas, more than welcome...

 

It's definitely a fluid line of some sort. If the brakes work and you didn't chance the clutch line to bypass the damper or something, then it is a coolant line. Did you change any of those or modify the system at all (you said it didn't leak so it's not "missing", it would be immediately pissing out everywhere). 

There are coolant lines into and out of the turbos, they run around the rear of the engine and under the inlet manifold.

It's possible it is an air/boost line for the turbo boost/wastegate control but I didn't think any of them had flare fittings, I think they are all push on.

Guys, you are fantastic and I really appreciate your support.

@DuncanChecked the turbos, as I thought it might be the coolant line from the rear turbo, but everything looks goods. 

@Duncan and @KiwiRS4T: The clutch is a great idea I havent checked yet. We removed the engine and also replaced the tranmission oil. Maybe it is a fluid line out of there.

Thanks for the advice and hopefully, it will be solved.

Any other clues or ideas, more than welcome!

Cheers,

Kury  

How certain are you that it wasn't lying around before the strip down? It might not be for your car. It's quite a substantial piece, I'd expect you to have some kind of adverse experience from trying to drive. 

Good day,

@PranK: This is what I was assuming as well, but wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to drive without being 100% sure. Don't want to take any risk to damage the vehicle even more. But it will be my last option I think. Thanks a lot for your input, really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Kury

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
