What size is the rear housing?

Sorry should have stated in my first post the gaskets are only 2000ks old, dunno why they started leaking, the only thing I can put it down to Is that after a few runs of getting hot then cold then hot etc I shouldve maybe retightened all the cam cover screws????

I tracked down a pesky oil leak that is comming from the back of my passenger side cam cover near the half moon so Ive decided to pull it out, clean up the gasket and half moon and put it back on. My question is should I also run a little gasket goo around the gasket for that little bit of extra insurance or should it seal up properly once I give both surfaces a good clean? The workshop manual dosent say any thing about a a gasket sealant but IMO it couldnt hurt, any views? Can using Goo cause any adverse negative effects?

Thanks man I try to keep it clean

Well just had a good look over and under the car in the light and I "THINK" GT-RZ win the prize for this one. Just under the half moon on the passengers side is covered in fresh oil, cant see it but when I wiped my hand over it could feel it. I went around and re-tightened all the cam cover screws and I was suprised that they were a little loose (Could tighten about a 1/4 turn) Maybe cause I put new gaskets and Half moons in when I did the mini rebuild they have now "seated" a bit??? Yeh man definately motor oil Just to be cautious I have cleaned all the bell housing and as much of the block as I can reach and I will take it for a spin tonight and have another look after she gets really warm for any other leaks, but Im hopeing Ive found it so I dont have to take the Gearbox out again. That was a bitch to do without the "proper" tools. Ill keep you guys posted on the results Thanks for the help peeps.

Thanks for the input guys. Ill have a really good look over it this arvo to make sure it isnt leaking from the cam cover area. By the sounds of it tho its the rear main.....shouldve just changed it when i did the clutch. Lesson learned

Mmmmmm, Might have to drop into the mechanics next week to check if this is the problem then. Weve got the Putty rd cruise up here next month and Id rather not risk it

Yeh I was thinking rear main seal after doing a search, is it a hassle to fix if thats the prob? EDIT:I think you just beat me to the answer to my question doozooby

Hey Guys, Dunno if this is the right section but here goes. About 2000ks ago I did an engine bay paint and pretty up when I upgraded my Turbo, Injectors, clutch etc on my 33 gtst. Everything has been fine up until the last week or so (Or I should say I only noticed it a week or so ago) when I noticed oil droplets on the garage floor. Not heaps of oil but oil drops none the less. Last night I went for an approx 70k drive so I thought I"d put some paper down and see if I could find the source of the leak when I got home. I pulled into the garage and turned the car off and looked under it to find a droplet about the size of a twenty cent coin on the paper under the part where the gearbox attaches to the engine (The bellhousing?) Now if had a look and a feel around the engine (albeit at night) and I cant seem to find the source of the leak. Its not the sump plug as I first thought it may have been when I first noticed spots and I am thinking that maybe when I painted the cam covers and put them back on it hasnt sealed properly and oil is somehow running down the back of the engine and to this spot. Is this possible? Ive had 4 dyno runs in the last few months including a full day at the mechanics checking over all my work to make sure I put everything together ok and nothing was said so I figure this is a new leak. Any ideas? If its something major like a big end Id hear it wouldnt I? This is a meticulously maintained car so it has got me baffled. Ive added a pic to show where the oil drips from and others to show how clean I keep the bay (So i would notice a leak)

I'll have a Greddy EMU for sale in a couple of weeks. PM me if your interested

How cool is that, like a russian get out of jail free card

Hey guys do GCG sell just the rear OP6 housing or equivalent in standard dump pattern?

At least people know where hes from

Contact Paul at Performance Wise, he sells hard intake pipe kits that I think will fit in a 31 with a 25 in it

Haaaahahahaha Im trying to figure out how ill drive two cars at the same time. See you on the day peeps

I think Im going twice by the looks of page one...hehe Does that mean Ill have to pay ten bucks then??

no worries see you all then.....oh and I won't be bringing extras as yet sl!m, I don't have any friends and wy wife dosent like me..hehe

Hey guys, I'll come for the run just picked up all the SK whiteline kit so it will be a good chance to test it out. Do we just pay on the day?

You can get adjustable 27mm Front and 24mm rear bars from Selbys, Just picked up a set from SK Havent installed yet but will be over the next week or so

Sorry I shouldve said in my original post, I already have all the gear just after fitment prices

Hey people, I was just wondering if anyone could let me know a real rough price of getting the full SK Suspension setup fitted? Just trying to plan when I can do it as I dont really have the time at the moment so Ill have to pay a shop to install. Thanks

Cool that's pretty much what I was after, so long as it's a "safe" tune so to speak there is no majic number. Thanks for the advice guys.... And not treating me like a dumb dumb, just one of those things I've always been curious about

Ok thanks guys

Ok maybe I should re-phrase my question. We all know that if you rev an unbuilt engine to say 10,000rpm day in and day out it will at some stage let go right? So does the same thing happen when large amounts of boost is pumped through the same engine? The max boost my current turbo can run is about 20-25psi but that's not my question. Let's say hyperthetically I go out and buy X super turbo which has a max efficiency range of say 50psi, now surely if you pump 50psi through a standard internaled engine it will fail as it would revving it to 10k all day. Does that make make more sense?

Hey people, Im just after a quick answer to the above question, Im currently running 18psi with standard Internals head gasket. would I be wise to run much more boost later on if I upgrade the turbo or am I asking for trouble without a buit engine and cometic head gasket etc? I have heard of people running 23odd psi but Im not sure if thats with forgies or standard internals Mods are: S2 R33 GTST Hybrid FMIC APEXi Super Suction Kit with pod Custom Air box with CAI(Home Made) Split Dump and Catco Race Cat 3.5" HKS Cat back Silent High Power exhaust Exedy 5puk Clutch Greddy Ex Cam Gear EMU Hypergear HighFlow (ATR28 G2 Profile) Nismo 555 Injectors and Walbro fuel pump Z32 AFM Yellow Jacket Coils
