My S14 Kouki - piman2k - 15-07-2023
Hi again guys! Had a lovely mini-feature done for a friend's personal blog, took some nice photos and wrote some kind words. Please feel free to have a look at it on Street Spec

One of my favourite Looking cars... makes me wonder how Nissan do their design work, all of their performance cars look awesome, but then you get the other cars and you think... WTF?!?!
Any way...
Loving this Sylvia...

Thanks people, I'd love to go to JAE but I'm in the middle of buying a house so every penny is counting at the moment. I've got a leak from a wastegate water line at the moment so making a new hose is a job for the weekend.

All that glitters is not gold! :o
Had a roll down to Ace Cafe the other night and on the return trip I had a bit of steam from under the bonnet. It was raining so I figured it might be rainwater getting in through the vents, turned out it was a very small water leak from one of the wastegate lines.
Got the lines off yesterday and broke an unrelated Fragola connector because it had seized
So I've had to order a replacement for that and a second of the same to replace another that had seized and, I believe, caused the leak. £32 for the pair from Competition Supplies in Silverstone, collecting tomorrow with a bit more firesleeve.![[Image: 5oz5hh.jpg]](http://i60.tinypic.com/5oz5hh.jpg)
Top hose is the faulty hose, top right 135 degree connector is, I think, leaking. I can blow through the pipe and feel air coming from the joint. Top left is a 45 degree connector that has seized up so will be impossible to reinstall, hence the replacement.
Lower hose with firesleeve is the water exit from the turbo to the wastegate circuit, seized and broken 45 degree connector is the 'unrelated' breakage but as I type this I realise it's also in the same place.
Luckily I have spare -4AN hose in the garage so I should be able to make a new line and get them reinstalled at the weekend. A bit disappointed that they've seized but then I was thinking about how hot it gets down there and the fact they've done a heap of road miles of late. Again, thanks to being top mount this is not a complicated install/uninstall
