Hi guys,

just developed some kind of a problem with my r33. Some liquid is pouring out from the engine when i switch off my car. I dont know if its been happening before but i noticed a hissing sound and saw under the car, there is a liquid thats falling out.

Its not the colour of oil and its falling out from the middle part of the engine. Any ideas? Smells a bit like coolant but i'm not too sure.

pls help,

cheers!

You need to describe the liquid a bit better. Whats the exact colour? Is it thick? Thin? Exactly where from the motor is it dripping from?

A pic would be best if you could post it up. It could even just be water from your air conditioner..

thanks guys,

the liquid is very thin, just like water. although it has some kind of a smell, it tried touchin it but there was no colour on my fingers.

I never use my aircon, may be its coolant or water...

Remember there was a hiss sound i heard even 5 mins after turning off my engine.

What do you friends suggest?

I thought the hissing sound is from the fuel line depressurising?

could be a tiny split on one of the heater hoses? try to get underneath the car and follow where its coming from, if possible

If its the middle of the motor you may want to check for weeps around the welsh plugs. I have seen a few reports of R33's with 75000 and more on the motor developing this problem. While its hot its just steam ? doe you get a radiator sorta smell when u lift the bonnet. When u switch the car off the motor and coolant looses temprature the metal contracts and the pressure in the waterjacket drops. The hiss and leak then stops.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
