Oil In Water

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Got a bit of a problem which i require help with, i am getting oil into the water system and radiator but it is not the head gasket. I know this because i changed the head gasket but saying that there was nothing wrong with the old one anyway when i took the head off.

Now it is a R32 GTR and it still drives completely fine, there is no water in the enigine (oil) at all and i have been driving it around for a bout two weeks now, although i am slowly, very slowly losing oil from the engine.

So obvioulsy the oil is some how leaking into the water system, now i have a couple of ideas which i would like some help on.

Is it possible that the oil could mix into the water through the turbo?? a seal broken or something??

The other option is the water/oil trasfer thing that the oil filter bolts too??? Is it possible for this to leak oil into the water??

Any help would be great guys.

Thanks

Hey mate, see where your oil filter is screwed onto? there is a metal disc plate just off to the side which has a bolt going straight through it. that is your factory stock oil cooler. over time they can rust out as the core inside is fairly thin or the core inside separates and your oil will mix in with the water. i had the same problem when i had my 32 gtr. its an absolute c*nt trying to reach it but i did it from underneath the car. if you have skinny arms you should be right. change that cooler or fit an aftermarket cooler and it shoudl fix the problem. worked with me. i ended up blowing my head gasket two weeks later anyways. Doh. haha.

and also if you do decide to fix it buy a new oring kit for it. if i remember it came with three o rings. two little black ones and an orange one. this kind of problem happens on old cat loaders and various trucks ive worked on. they run a similar setup too.

Hey kasmick,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it definitely sounds like you have a cracked head,

the reason your not getting water in the oil is that the gallery thats cracked in the head is the oil pressure side so

oil pressure is higher than water pressure therefore the oil goes into the water,forget head gasket,heat exchanger etc.

If you like by-pass the heat exchanger to check again but i`ve experienced this many times.Theres a company here in the uk that does repaired heads,although the shipping/labour costs for shimming etc maybe too expensive.

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
