More likely because your right foot is too heavy.

How good are the tyres?

Auto Trans fluid. Check the level with ignition ON.

Who????

LOL! NEXEN Tyres, I had them on the front before too.

Sorry to say but they are like Bridgestone povo pack tyres. LOL! :D But good enough to get you from A to B as a daily.

As to you Jsikalias, what oil is leaking and what colour is it?

Gear box oil or do you think your ATTESA-ETS system is leaking? As for the oil in the ATTESA-ETS system I think its diff oil or there might be a special type of oil for it. (Clarification needed)

I found it quite easy to break traction in 1st and 2nd gear when I drove a V-Spec R34 GTR, which were on shitty cheap tyres. R34 GTR's have quite a bit of torque.

I would consider it normal and I don't think a tiny leak will cause you to lose traction that easy, unless oil is flicking to the tyres causing you to slip... LOL!

BTW I think I have seen your GTR before, you from Caufield, Malvern and Chadstone area by any chance?

Get your mechanic to hoist the car up and trace where the leak is and seal it.

I found that GTR gearboxes are very 'touchy'. I did a gearbox oil change too and I occationaly get a tiny drip on the ground. I have done everything to stop it from leaking, like sealing the plugs and re-doing the seals with this special type of silicon which is weather, heat and vacuum prof and still get a leak.

I figure to completely stop it, I might have to recondition the seals OR the easier option is, every service I do is just to clean up the gearbox and top up the oil.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
