Good to know haha. I never do track days that require 5th so hasn't really bothered me as yet lol. The guy that owned my car before me did a lot of highway driving from Bathurst to Sydney so I'm just guessing he didn't change back when he should have and put too much load on the gear through the moutains or something.

Lol i am sure you will need 5th at some track days :P

Does your diff push oil out after a hard thrashing? I was told to relocate the breather higher and upways!

Common issue with Subaru's, I have made a few diff adapters to stick a hose on them, to relocate the breather higher. Works well.

The rear of my car was covered in diff oil after my 3 sessions at SMSP GP. Nothing too bad, bit on the subframe, and spots on the back.

I just figure its self leveling :P

Just keep telling yourself that. It will last longer with less oil to get in the way and wear the gears... :P

:laugh: I like it...

Sounds like breather mods for all :woot: plus i gotta change the oil in it so gives me an excuse to get under and get it sorted!

I've already dropped the subframe once... not too keen on bothering doing it again.

50mls looks like a lot when its spread on the outside - I'm not too concerned :P

Probably only noticed it since I de-greased and pressure washed the subframe since I had it out.

Ill be attempting to do it in the car, i dont wanna pull it all apart :P

Remember they dont have much oil to start with :no:

eh, doesn't your breather connect to a hose?

I don't get fluid leaking out of mine, unless it's all evaporated lately (skips like a locked diff now lol)

Yeah hence why my chassis leaks diff fluid lol...

It only does it on track....

^LOL

so when we going to terrorise sydney with gate warz? LOL

Haha... I dont use it on the streets too much, mainly quiet country drives :ph34r:

Remember mine is a r180 not a r200

The breather is just a little pressure release button tucked in behind the back of the subframe. Not an easy thing do sort in the car tbh.

Oh :/

Well ill have a look at mine and attempt to repair :yes:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
