WHAT THE???? we just finished install my manual and we took it for a drive and its f*&!*$# awesome!!! but when we came back we found that oil was leaking from somewhere... my car is a gts4 so keep in mind the 4WD stuff. it seemed to be a red liquid but after tightening everthing under the transfer case and checking everthing we found that the oil was coming out of the top of the gearbox where the gearstick is... now does anyone have any ideas on what the hell is going on??? is it too much oil or what because the gearbox feels perfect. it selects gears fine changes fine but as soon as you get under it in second the oil starts the stray up into the car :thumbdwn: :D:D:D NOT COOL!

anyone got any ideas. we just thought it has too much oil and its just getting rid of it but the oil colour is red so .... i don't know. the car isn't being driven until we get this figured out.

I think it was about 3.7 lt or something..

If I remember right, it has a breather pipe that bolts to one of the top bolts that holds the gearbox to the motor. Do you remember seeing the breather pipe?

With the oil level, with the car on flat ground, just fill it up untill it starts coming out of the filler hole.

the box wouldn't go in cos of the spiggot bearing was too big on the inside diameter. so we did something really dodgy. we got another bearing to get the inside diameter found a drill bit that size... $38 later. then drilled out the one that was in there to that size. we actually did i good job of it. looked perfect and there are no noise's or anything.

Lol, that is dodgy man.... did you take measurements of the bearing so that you could get another one so when the current one fails you have you new one to go in?.... thats what I would do, as soon as it gets a bit noisy, change it asap.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
