the leaking water could be from your over flow.. this could be a combo of a blocked radiator and/or blown gasket...

lets just hope its the radiator! as jolinator said .. take it to a mech ... they will be able to test emissions from your radiator to check for blown gasket, and do the rest he said :P

This morining I put water into the radiator, MY GOD! I put in 1 liter water in it, cant believe it how much water that leaking out the day before. But today I left the car the whole day at my place, its realli weird and no leaking at all. And then I took for a drive just now. Its all good and the water temperture go back to normal as 76 - 80. I dont know why, I guess its leaking from the radiator house which is the bottom one. I will still leave it and give it to the mechanic on Monday. T_T no one is working at new years time. Thx for everyone's help. I will post more these days and might have more questions to ask everyone. Thx again!!!!

UPDATE UPDATE!!!!!!

The leaking is happening again last night. It dosen't come out from where the radiator is. It came from beside the transmission and I'm sure its coolant mix with water. Oh My god!!! What's the Problem???? I realli have to give it to the mechanic and fix it. Is that could be the blown gasket or something else? If it is, how much that gonna cost me and how long that could be fixed??? I lend my family car to my friend and they drive it to brisbane, I only got the GTR now. Realli need a car for work. Everyone help! T_T

Leaking down near the transmission!? If its doing that god knows. Sounds to me that a head gasket has gone. Because if it was the water pump and or the radiator it would be leaking from the front of the motor.

Best get it towed. Stop driving it. Take it to your mechanic.

Yeh! I'm stop driving it today. If the head gasket is finished, how much should I pay for it to fix and how long is that gonna be? I just went and jack up the car to have a look again, it is not leaking at the front where the raditor is, its leaking right beside the transmission, I can see the coolant is slowly leaking slowly. Tell me how much gonna be cost to fix if anyone know! Thx! OMG! Hell Day!!!!

relax man

I had the same problem with my car it will hopefully be

a split heater hose as it starts from just above your starter motor

cheap to fix just a pain as you have to pull the starter motor out

to get at it

Hope its nothing worse for you

I wouldnt rule out a blown gasket - I can't believe you were still driving it. Unfortunately, if it is the gasket you will probably have to do the whole gasket set (vrs set which is about ~500) but its the labour that will cost (need to take off the head, etc).

So if they do take of the head I'd look at what else to do at same time - cams/cam gears/timing belt/hoses etc.

Have a look in the radiator - is there any oil in it?

Have a look in at your oil - no water?

Hopefully it'll be just a leak - but with Christmas it might be a couple of weeks to get fixed if its a gasket.

But please don't drive it around - you don't want to end up with a warped head.

So fingers crossed its just a split hose.

But its one of the dramas with owning a a 10+ year old performance car.

Cheers,

Geoff

Hey penfold, I have check all around the radiator from the top to the bottom, all the hose and this and that are all good, no leaking around that. Only leaking at right beside the transmisson where is a small thing looks like a oil filter size. I only can see the leaking coolant are all around that small thing, I dont know if that is the start motor or not. But pretty sure its leaking from there. Not crazy leaking, for these 2 days, it leaking about 1 liter. the leaking very very slowly.

Just a question, if its 100% sure about head gasket finished and then leaking, does it come out from the point that I find? I just wounder its not the head gasket kit finished. I'm not driving the car anymore. Leave it unitl the public hoilday finish. T_T Cant realli sleep and work right now. Poor GTR....

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
