What's up guys? So, I've got this leak and I can't determine what it is connected to. Have the car up on jacks to replace my clutch slave and other bits, walked out one morning to find this puddle on the floor coming from some fat rubber lines between the tank and HICAS on the driver side. Any help in determining what is going on would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not as I can't figure exactly what's leaking to give it a proper search, thank you.

Duncan, I think you are correct. I popped the trunk/boot and took off the lid to the reservoir. The color and consistency seems to match whats all over my garage floor. Thank you. The fluid level seems a bit high though no? Or does it change when the car is turned on or underload? I apologize for my ignorance on this issue, I've never had a good look at the reservoir for all the time I've owned the car (bout 2 years now).

Yeah that level is way high. But that is a moot point since it looks like you need to replace those lines which means you will have to refill it anyway.

Hard to be sure form the angle but I believe the leaks are from the 2 lines that go to/from the reservoir, you can see the other end of them in the boot pic.  It is pretty tricky to get to them but I'd see if they are available from amayama or similar in factory parts and replace them. If not just measure the hard piping diameter and use some regular straight hose which should fit OK (there are no tight turns in those hoses). Nothing special, they don't carry pressure.

Thank you Duncan, I'll take a look this weekend and see what I can make of it. Thank you for your help and pointing me in the right direction. Not sure if this is a known issue or not but I'll keep the topic posted with my findings and fix incase anyone else should run into the same issue.

Pain in the ASS! Finally got the lines off. Upon inspection I was able to find a crack near one of the clamps on the hose. Over time the clamp managed rub its way thru creating a weak point. Went to the local auto store to source some hoses for replacement. No luck! Was able to find some tubing but it's obviously not formed, just straight. One of the bends on the larger lines causes a kink in the hose. No matter how I twist or bend it, No Bueno! The kink still rears its ugly head. Having a hell of a time trying to find replacement lines. Thought about going to the plumbing/hydraulic line shop and looking at brass or stainless barbed bends to remove the kinks. Really don't want to introduce any weak links or have it all micky mouse like. All I can seem to source is one line that is "U" shaped and connects directly to the reservoir going to a hard line in the boot/trunk, unfortunately not what I am needing. Does anyone know where I can get a set of new lines? I seem to be coming up short on my searches. Thanks guys, appreciate all your help with this.

I told you all new ATTESA, brake, HICAS and vacuum lines are now discontinued through Nissan and now have to be purchased through the Nismo heritage program. These parts are readily available through RHDjapan and Nengun.

Basically what you need to do is jump on Nissan fast and get the original Nissan part numbers for them. Then you cross reference that with the new Nismo number through the above shops or Google it.

Generally the first 5 digits of the 10 digit part number will be the same, then they change the last 5 from the original number to an RHR number which is the new Nismo coding.

@MistaMagoo Which are:

The two top hoses from ATTESA reservoir are 41728-05U10 (Nismo 41728-RHR21) and 41738-05U10 which has no Nismo number because funnily enough it is not discontinued and still available from Nissan - very weird.

The two bottom hoses that are in your pictures above you particularly need are 41728-05U00 (Nismo 41728-RHR20) and 41738-05U00 (Nismo 41738-RHR20).

Got it ?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
