Firstly it's MECHANIC.

Right. Secondly, none of this sounds RWC related. The water pump siezing was definitely no fault of the mechanic nor an RWC item.

And believe it or not but oil leaks CAN manifest "overnight". There is a chance that perhaps he didn't install something correctly when he did the gaskets, in which case, shit happens. There was unlikely to be any devious intentions and so long as he rectifies it, then no harm done. It's not an RWC item so suck it up.

As has been said, an RWC does not guarantee you haven't bought a shit car.

Sounds to me like you bought a lemon and the mechanic has actually done the right thing by you and not pinged every little thing he could but now your lemon is being squeezed you want someone to blame.

What? So the wall was gone? How was there air in the tyres?

How do you know something didnt happen to them in the 2000kms of driving???

It was verified by a further 2 independant parties, both who I didn't know prior. The damage was consistent with wear over a duration not hard impact. There was another part to it which will type up later where we were able to confirm it occuring it over a duration and not quickly. Walls wise, could put my fingers into the deep scoring as the wall had collapsed.

Look apart from the smallish leak the car is perfect and I said earlier I’m playing the blame game as I’m really happy with the car! Don't mean to be rude but I’m not asking for your "opinion" what is an issue and is not. I said earlier that I was just wondering what the law in this situation is IF the rwc is dodgy. This has now been resolved so there is no need for you to further try and dig deeper into this.

As for the RWC pump seizing was just bad luck and coped it on the chin. Doesn't mean the car is a lemon as the pump was not leaking! If you pay a decent shop to change gasket and they continue to leak (due to poor labour), then most places will attempt to fix the problem free of charge, to protect the rep ( i checked and this was not the case this time)

If you wanted to actually contribute to the discussion you could say the rwc rule about oil leak as I’m sure it defined somewhere. But like I said I got everything under control, thanks for your input.

Do you actually know where the oil leak is and what caused it yet?

without degreasing the the engine yet (which i will do over the weekend) i know the cam and crank seals are fine and the rockets are good too. there must me some small hose that has come loose and its frustrating not been able to locate the leak lol maybe some sort of breather....

    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
