for anyone that likes their high octane super large baffeled and gated sump extensions and is thinking about buying one sometime soon, perhaps hold off on buying one as mine is apparently weeping oil =\

How so and from where?

boostworx are looking into it now (as they sold it to me/buit and installed it), but yeah, shaun is once again going above and beyond!!!

from the description he gave me it just seems to be from the metal itself, its coming threw the walls etc, nothing to do with welding etc droplets of oil just appear on the outside of the sump =\

yeah, i just dropped it back to them because run in had finished and there were other oil leaks (when i first got it back there was a leak from the head and power steering, then a leak from the oil relocation kit) and now this XD

seems very wrong, apparently it only happens when the it heats up if its just sitting there nothing much will happen... so its only a problem if i drive it =(

ah well... just means another week+ delay on getting my car back, but it'll be fixed and thats the important part

My thoughts too however they test each one with a coloured dye after they are manufactured, surely this issue would come up then?

Or so they say. The first series of VT's has a similar problem with the cast alloy transmission pans weaping through the casting. Problem only arose after the car had be driven for a while (constant heating up and cooling down). Therefore if it is a porys casting then it would only show up more so after install and driving than in a simple bench top penetrative dye test.

Least you can actually drive it now though aye :)

On another note, I'm back in the Nissan product :D swapped my RX7 for a 180 last night lol

Yeah not quite...

donkeys haven't cleared it on their systems so i cant renew my rego

losers...

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
