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 ?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
