excel leaks oil from sump gasket

excel has a suspected slight nick in third gear (either that or im getting low on gearbox oil)

excel now has a capacity of about 1.55 litres

excel does aright burnouts

end review

isn't she?

the gearbox/transfer case is slowly shitting itself

it open wheels, but it does it on both wheels when it feels like it (ie when turning left it smokes the left wheel, when turning right it smokes the right wheel and when dumping the clutch when not turning, well, lets say it cant make up its mind either way)

Dude.. Open diff spins inside wheel to keep up with the further travel of the outside wheel.

And.. I've smoked up excels before.. it's hopeless. and they make funny sounds afterwards.. clutch smells too. It's f**king fun though because it's not my car.

ummm not in our r31 it didnt

it was an open wheeler, but only smoked the tyres when turning right, not left - no matter how hard i tried

mind u it prob didnt help that the gearbox was rooted (but new diff)

funny sound - thats called the engine hitting the rev limiter in 1st

also helps when uve got a relatively new clutch (about 8k kays on it)

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
