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 ;|

-D

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 :)

to be honest penny,never even heard of it..lol better google it

I use Castrol Edge for now

I ask because a guy at my work used to import it and now makes it, I have read a bit about it and I like what I read.

Would like to know if anyone has put it to the test here!

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!

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
