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.

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
