Problem with my car, its a R32 GTR...The other day i blew a heater hose having replaced that which was not easy. I took it for a drive and within 5mins the oil temp was around half about 150'C, its normally on the 70'C mark, the engine oil level is fine. the water temp was normal but there is oil in my radiator?? the oil pressure was going up and down and it still goes as good as it use to...i think it may be a blown head gasket or the oil pump is rooted, any suggestions would be great.

It does sound like a gasket or oil pump problem which is why the heater hose may have come off in the first place. Whatever it is, it sounds bad. I would not do any more driving in it at all and get it towed to a workshop that knows what they are doing.

You could start off with a compression test to see if it is a head gasket. What were you doing prior to the heater hose blowing?

The radiator fluid looks like a chocalate thick shake from Maca's, this all started when i took my car to get a dyno tune done. they tell me they didnt run it on the dyno but i drove past the place later n i saw my car up on the dyno. then mid arvo i got a phone call from them saying they found oil in my radiiator, they didnt even charge me anything which is a bit suspect...Well i blew the hose doing burnouts in RWD

Normally I have found blown headgaskets (ie Water in oil) to have a distinct smell, have you checked under the oil cap for milky residue or bubbles in radiator, which are a couple of giveaways :)

Has the car ever had its cooling system flushed and refilled with coolant since ownership....if not now may be a good time.

Static burnouts are probably the worst thing you can do to any engine, so it would not be suprising if you have blown your head gasket ;):D

If all else fails Whack some chemiweld or Bars leak in there she'll be good as new :P

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
