Has anyone ever experienced engine oil in the cooling system? before you say the head gasket i have no watter in the engine oil, it is still clean and engine is running well

I was thinking that it could have somthing to do with the Oil cooler as it is water cooled? If any one else with a 32 GTR has had a similar problem let me know what it was?

Could it possibly be the heat exchanger?

I had a similar problem in a commodore a few years back. The head was corroded between a water gallery and oil gallery.

Since the cooling system runs at 13psi max, and oil pressure is more like 40 psi, the radiator fills with oil, but the engine still runs good with no water in the oil.

So I'm saying head problem...

You have a water cooled oil cooler? is that an Aus delivered GTR thing? if not what brand does it?

i'm pulling off the oil cooler next week and i'm going to have it pressure tested if it comes back good i'll pull the head off. i was told that it is easier to pull the motor then just the head has anyone had experience with removing the head inside the engine bay?

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
