There should be a rubber seal on the dipstick - sounds like yours is leaking so you need to fix it. Those fumes are supposed to be taken care of by the PCV system.

Had a look at the spark plug condition yet?

Does "fuel as" mean rich? Injectors, AFM and ECU need to be a sensible set.

Is there some sort of mesh inside the catch can? If not, the oil vapour may be passing straight through.

If all the coolant hoses are original don't even consider not changing them. They're a ticking timebomb, and this job is a big PITA so you'll hate yourself if you have to do it again.

Unless you have a problem with oil pressure, i'd think about Penrite 10-Tenths Racing 10W-40.

Ryco filters are ok; This is from the M35 info thread, looks like your HR uses the same filters as VQs Oil filter is Ryco Z436 or Z445 : Nismo (Veruspeed) 15208-RN010 : K&N: HP-1008 : Amsoil Ea012 z445 - seal diameter 63mm, height - 65mm, seam diameter - 68mm, thread size - M20-x1.5-6Hmm z436 - seal diameter 64mm, height - 66mm, seam diameter - 69.50mm, thread size - M20-x1.5-6Hmm So either of the rycos is ok since they're almost the same size, IIRC one is cheaper.

My clutch change DIY for the GTR might help a bit. Yours will be a lot easier being a gts-t. Dont assume the previous owner understood what the problem was or was being honest. Pressure plates dont usually die AFAIK. Replacement clutch kits include clutch plate, pressure plate and throw out bearing.

Just got back from Performance Exhaust (Hakan). Very pleased with the outcome and endorse the recommendations. Thanks for the info.

Nah, not offended just offering my experience. I see you have 340kw + 296mm rotors so you're pushing your brakes hard. Makes sense you'll need a full track pad with that combo. I'm 305kw + the 330mm chinese kit + UAS air deflectors, so dont need as much pad.

Over-generalised statement is over-generalised. A1RMs were fine for me doing 1:11s at wakie. How much pad you need depends on many things. eg: power, weight, brake size, brake cooling, cornering ability, driving style etc etc. Sure, A1RMs are a crossover pad (that is, between a street and a track pad), but if that's all you need they will work well.

http://justjap.com/brakes/brake-kits/k-sport-front-brake-kits/nissan.html but plenty of places do them. You can also find them on ebay. Other names for the same stuff is G4, D2, ATTKD. Nismoid has run some group buys so check if there's anything active in that forum. You dont need different pads for the UAS kit.

Check the shocks for any fluid leaks. You'll have to replace them if you find any. Otherwise could be the bushes rubbing and some rubber friendly grease should help with that.

The chinese 330mm kit should fit fine under most 17s. If you're tracking i'd go the 330 kit instead of the UAS one. You get hatted rotors (IIRC replacement rings are only $AU250) and braided lines with it. I found the pedal had a much nicer feel than the standard calipers with braided lines.

Measure the distance from the wheel centerline straight up to start of the guard. I'm guessing your car is lowered, and lowering adds negative camber as the lower control am is longer than the upper control arm. Also scan and post up the alignment specs. For search, GTSboy is saying go to google, then enter something like "R32 GTR tyre wear site:sau.com.au" in the search bar.

Also, low oil, old oil, wrong oil. There's been some speculation that oil starvation could be contributing to 3rd gears dying.

Changing your alignment away from the correct setting to get wheels to fit is a terrible idea. You're making your car suck instead of investing in the correct offset wheels - dont do it! WRT stretch, being at the stretched end of the tyre manufacturers rim width recommendation is the best handling option.

Re: measurement, i want thinking pressure plate flywheel mating surface to pressure plate throw out bearing mating surface. Have u just done a engine/gearbox conversion, or is this just a clutch replacement where there was a working clutch before? I guess its the former since you're questioning the gearbox?

Goes with Baker Street somehow in my mind

iruv - I guess you're grasping at straws with your clutch issue - but how would this help u resolve that? Did you try measuring up the old and new clutches to see if you could find any differences?

Venting the can to atmosphere is illegal and unnecessarily dumps really nasty crap into the air. You should plumb the vent into the factory breather fitting, that is, insert the catch can in the factory system, in the line that runs from the cam covers to the connection in the inlet. If you do that, you'll totally get more hot babes because you will be far more awesome.

There's been posts on here saying it is effective in lowering temps. Searchy time. Dilution rate is on the bottle

Thanks Terry. Northmead is 35-40 minutes away, but i'm happy to travel for good work.
