Hi everyone I have a r33 gtst s2 and this morning on my way to the city... My car lost all it's coolant and the temp went right up... Is not coming out of the radiator or bottle but somewhere upwards the back or the motor but I can find where abouts can someone help me out??? Any ideas where it could be coming from??? Is there any hose at the back that carries coolant????

Any help would be good help!!!

there are quite a few hoses all around the engine, but there are 2 main ones for the heater box that come from the engine and through the firewall.

i have split one of these before in my 180sx and they are a pain to get to because of being in a very tight space.

just remember that it may not be a very obvious hose being in 2 pieces kind of thing, usually there is a small slit in one of the hoses and it can be hard to tell which one it is. look again at where the coolant is coming from, see if you can trace it's path back up the engine to locate roughly the position of the leak. it may also be worth replacing more of the hoses when you are doing one, because as one goes several could follow (as happened in my 180... 5 different hoses later...)

It may also be worth checking your engine out such that it didn't get damaged with the heat, things like head gaskets sometimes like to go and/ or warping the head entirely (in a worst case).

Hope this helps.

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
