Hello SAU team 

I just had a my 2020 RV37 Skyline 400r serviced by my local mechanic and he has noted that there is a coolant leak coming from the water pump. 

He mostly does European cars so he wasn't sure is this is a common issue with the VR30  and how to address it . 

Any chance anyone can advise on this issue and if I need to replace the water pump (guessing its the same as the ones in the Infiniti Q50 red sport ADM).

If coolant is coming out of the pump bleed hole it means coolant has bypassed the pump shaft seals, so it’s fkd. Do u replace the water pump with the timing belt? (All OEM)

I expect there will be 2 water pumps so you will need to know which one.  Also I think they are much less likely to leak than a mechanical one so I hope they are confident it is from the unit not the hoses/clamps etc

On a related question, does anyone have an online parts lookup that covers these, and a 400R VIN to use? 

I haven't been able to find an ADM VIN parts lookup for the Q50RS

different setup mate, this is an external electric pump and timing chain on VR30DDTT

Thanks for the response Guys , so far the mechanic has topped up the coolant and I haven't noticed and further leaks , I'm going to see if there local workshop who might have a bit more expertise on the imports. if the pump needs replacing I'll give you guys a heads up.

I would sign up to www.infinitiq50.org ask there, plenty of owners on there that may be able to advise of any common issues.

The 400R is just a red sport with a few extra cosmetic changes, so mechanically they will be the same.

Which coolant are you seeing leaks with? the engine coolant (which uses a belt driven pump, part number 21010-4HK0A), or the intercooler/heat exchanger coolant, which uses 2 electric pumps.

For a parts listing, try this - 
Nissan Infiniti Q50 with V37-RHD frame, 06.2016 - ... - Genuine parts - Amayama

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
