ive got a series two stagea rs4s (the factory 5 speed manual) and it has a leak coming from up around the shifter. i searched through heaps of threads but couldnt find anyone else that has the same problem. but im hoping someone may have some answers for me.

1.is there alot of areas around the shifter that could leak??

2.does it have a bunch of seals or is it just a simple gasket??

3.is there seals or anything that wears out and requires replacement??

4.is it even possible to get replacement parts, or will i need to start scouring wrecking yards??

any help would be great.

cheers Ray

most likely just the gasket that is between the shifter 6bolt plate that bolts down onto the rear housing of the gearbox, very easy fix and should only take you 20 mins or so, if its leaking above that it could be the rubber boot that covers the hole between the shifter 6bolt plate and the gear shift lever itself, which is also a very easy fix

Yeah itll be the boot. Obviously the shifter moves around in the boot all the time so its gets old and it cracks over time...you can get them from nissan for like 16 bucks. Just quote your VIN and thats it.

i pulled the boot off on sunday and checked it out. i couldnt find any cracks in it, but the whole thing was covered in oil. is it supposed to just be held on with 2 zip ties?? cos mine was, much to my surprise. anyway i wiped it off and put it on with fresh zip ties.

for some reason i get a feeling it should be held on with more than just a zip tie top and bottom. does everyone else's have the same arrangement??

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
