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...

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
