Hello SAU team 

I just had a my 2020 RV37 Skyline 400r serviced by my local mechanic and he has noted that there is a coolant leak coming from the water pump. 

He mostly does European cars so he wasn't sure is this is a common issue with the VR30  and how to address it . 

Any chance anyone can advise on this issue and if I need to replace the water pump (guessing its the same as the ones in the Infiniti Q50 red sport ADM).

If coolant is coming out of the pump bleed hole it means coolant has bypassed the pump shaft seals, so it’s fkd. Do u replace the water pump with the timing belt? (All OEM)

I expect there will be 2 water pumps so you will need to know which one.  Also I think they are much less likely to leak than a mechanical one so I hope they are confident it is from the unit not the hoses/clamps etc

On a related question, does anyone have an online parts lookup that covers these, and a 400R VIN to use? 

I haven't been able to find an ADM VIN parts lookup for the Q50RS

different setup mate, this is an external electric pump and timing chain on VR30DDTT

Thanks for the response Guys , so far the mechanic has topped up the coolant and I haven't noticed and further leaks , I'm going to see if there local workshop who might have a bit more expertise on the imports. if the pump needs replacing I'll give you guys a heads up.

I would sign up to www.infinitiq50.org ask there, plenty of owners on there that may be able to advise of any common issues.

The 400R is just a red sport with a few extra cosmetic changes, so mechanically they will be the same.

Which coolant are you seeing leaks with? the engine coolant (which uses a belt driven pump, part number 21010-4HK0A), or the intercooler/heat exchanger coolant, which uses 2 electric pumps.

For a parts listing, try this - 
Nissan Infiniti Q50 with V37-RHD frame, 06.2016 - ... - Genuine parts - Amayama

Quick update Guys , managed to get the water pump replaced . I first my mechanic went back and forth with Nissan AU (4 weeks) and they weren't much help, at the end they noted something about not supporting imports. So I soured the part myself from Japan.

If anyone has similar issue here is the part numbers 

  • Genuine Nissan PUMP ASSY-WATER - 21010-4HK0E
  • Genuine Nissan Gasket - 21014-4HK0A 

Cost me about $230 including shipping (I had in within 10 days thanks to Blackhawk in Japan) 

They are basically the same as the Red Sport or even the new Zed - here is link to a supplier in US who helped me confirm the parts matched

You can change it yourself if you like , but I had my local workshop do it , it was about 5 hours of labour. 

Cheers

      Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.

      Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.

      I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.

      Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.

      My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
