Yeah, it is like it is sweating horsepower lol. Quite a few people have told me it is normal wear and tear (including Plazmaman) for this type and placement of hose due to the high amount of oil that gets in the Nissan system, it reacts with the hose, my suggestion is to keep a spare as you...

So it looks like there is no Nissan equivalent nor will Plazaman upgrade kit fit as someone has modified the cooler end and removed the o ring/cir clip fitting, I now have a 58mm diameter silicone hose elbow between the turbo pipe and the inter cooler and I paid $38 for a spare one which is a...

ok so it's still doing it, maybe it does have hairline cracks, I am trying to buy a new hose, what exactly is it called? It lives between the turbo and the cooler, next to the air cleaner???

I have given it a tighten and will see how it goes

Ok thank you, there is no other deposits so I will just have to go over and tighten everything, but the hose is wet right around it, front to back and top to bottom. Yes, intake from cooler to engine pipe.

I've a d40 v6 and the intake hose appears to be sweating oil, what would cause this? There are no other issues under the bonnet in this relation, I have noticed the last two days fuel consumption has gone up a bit and there is smoke on hard accelleration.

Thank you for all the help :-)

Well they gave us a replacement which fitted, on the road again... MNT thank you Old. Tony if you can tell me more about it so may save me some trouble in the future.

After initial supply issues finally picked a radiator up for 2010 D40 only to find that the shroud doesn't fit, about to take it back this morning, is it really that hard to get the correct radiator to fit this?

So you have had them long term? Any undue stress on the bonnet hinges?

So it's an easy retro fit? No mods? Thanks guys

Can I fit gas strutts to the bonnet of D40 2010?

I agree, just looking for a bit more ground clearance without a lift.

What would be the tallest tyre I could get under a stock D40 without any issues? Currently has 16 inch which I may keep but like the look of black sunraya so a rim change may be on the cards.

Well the strangest thing happened, thought I would do the service manual tests so I pulled the check valve, blew both ways thru it, reinstalled it and put the hose back on, tested the booster, drove it, can't fault it, no more limp mode. Maybe the check valve was stuck? Still makes a noise like...

nah it's like new under the bonnet, put a bolt in the end of the booster hose and shes boosting (turbo) like never before, going to test the booster and check valve today.

Bolt in the end of the hose and boost like never before...

So I've finally replaced a faulty BCS only to find the brake booster is not holding vacuum. Doesn't seem to be a common problem? Or Is it an overlooked fault? Sends the car into limp mode as there is no boost (vacuum at the BCS).

ok update BCS replaced and boost is back, but wait, lost all vacuum now, Brake booster not holding vacuum...

How do you guys shape the plate without a gasket to copy? AND Is there any engine breather issues or does the engine breath thru a different pipe?
