He guys. On my RB25 neo, Whats above the alternator and can leak coolent? Water pump? Ive got a slight leak coming from there. Nothing big just annoying. Could be a gasket i guess to.

Anyone else had this problem before?

Thanks Luke

Heater core perhaps... depends how the neo is laid out. ive just fixed a coolant leak from behind the rb26 which was heater core, replaced 3 hoses... cost a fair bit cause they had to remove the starter and some other shite to get to it, but im glad its done... i lost 2 litres of the nissan coolant, and that shyt is $14 per litre ;|

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

ah top hose, temp sensor, could even be thermostat or lower hose. If it was water pump it would be more likely to run down the side of the block.

^^^^^all these plus

havent looked at mine but the RB's have a hose under the intake plenum for coolant, hides slow leaks well? and they rot out, comes out near alternator or starter area

waterpump leaks end up under the front pulleys area or on the ground below front covers, check the weep hole under the pump, pretty sure the neo have one most cars do. if the fan rocks a tiny bit when you wiggle the fan the pump is on the way out? could be a day or a year?

we can have a peek if your coming to show and shine ?i have a coolant leak detector, let me see if i have batteries for it, bring it if i do

haha the rick rolling started tonight on the 31 forums..ah.. funny stuff..i got sum people aswell...ah i am the king!

until you have people asking to have you banned and start receiving pm's from mods to knock it off, youre not.

just found your rickroll, im surprised more than one person fell for it, talk about poorly executed, saying "dont ban me" sorta gives the game away.

Cheers guys, Its running down the drivers side of the block all the way to the sump and staining it. Looks like its coming from the block near the alternator.

Hope its not to hard to fix. Might do 100k service soon to then.

I think its easier to learn something when you have some kind of physical application to cross reference...

You can read about something as much as u want, unless you actually see how it works in real life you won't understand the references

At least thats what I've found about myself... I could read a whitepaper 10 times and still not understand it.... attempt to implement it on a running machine, while maybe breaking the system, I'd usually do it in half the time it'd take me to read the damn manual.... then again im a linux engineer by trade and the documentation often sucks so learning the systems yourself are usually the best route anyhow

I agree totally. The easiest methods of teaching is visual, verbal and practical. When I was tutoring Accounting at UniSA, I found relating exercises to things the students did in everyday life helps. If they can picture the application, they can understand it.

BTW I loved maths (I got to, I'm a bookkeeper and drafter for urban planning, which requires numerical skills). One day I'll figure out how to arrange those letters after my name :)

ok everyone calm down.

Ripper is obviously young and didn't think about what he was posting or thought about the ramifications.

Ripper, please tone it down.

Everyone else, give the kid a break. I have deleted and cleaned up the posts. No more - I don't have time

Hmmm , I think I would stick to a well known and tested brand

there is a oil thread on the main page to SAU

On that site it says extended oil changes???, well oil also removes crap from combustion and contaminates, still needs to be changed per nissan specs or more if you live on dirt roads or race it.

it looks to be based more for service trucks that get oil changes on time ever time

so many better choices I think???

how much does it cost do you know?

makes it himself???,, what is it from chip shop oil..lol

Its more legit then that haha.

Its sold in a few different Dyno shops, Its around the same price as your top quality synthetic oil so around $75 i think.

They are an American company but he now makes it here (properly in a factory with chemit chemical guys etc).

Im going to do some more research!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
