Hey guys, another annoying queston for you all. When i changed my water pump, it was all gooy, i thought it was the silicone sealer the mechanic used to seal up the water pump had let go. So i changed the water pump in amongst other things, though it still has the oil leak, from the front left of the motor, where the power steer bolts to the block. So my question is could the head gasket have a hole in it, and is only leaking oil out of the block.. as opposed to leaking into the cylinder?

I didnt change the water pump to fix the oil leak. I changed the cam seals with the water pump and timing belt and ive changed the rocker cover seal a little while ago. I thought it was the silicone sealer on the water pump seeping that was the issue. though it is not. it is definately leaking oil out, maybe its the oil pump seal at the top has let go. ive got to rip all the front end off again, so i will have a closer inspection.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
