There's an oil seperater that connects to the block, there's and o-ring and gasket that are both leaking.

For some unknown reason neither of those parts are in Aus, one is in Germany and one is in Singapore.

Germany takes 2 weeks for it to be sent.

Hence car cannot be driven for 2 weeks.

There was 1 litre of oil left in the car and was apparently pissing out since I got the car without my knowledge

Ugh... driving to work today, came off the freeway and the car starts stuttering on acceleration. Looks like I've got a boost leak somewhere or a misfiring coil. Yay.

Plus, it's like 1/1000 that have a leak. Just happened to be me this time. Which sucks but eh..

On the bright side 1000 customers either side of you will be raving about dat euro build quality :P

parents VW been in and out the shop for first 12 months chasing oil leak.

co workers tiguan dumped all it's oil last week.

hearing more and more of this on Euro cars recently.

still plan to get one next anyhow

What you looking at so far Martin?

Always wanted a C30 to mod. But it'd have to be a large project... LSD, cant fit medium intercooler, tricky ECU work ontop of a platform that the volvo enthusiasts are really raving about. oh well.

Lol everyone else is like oh it never happens its not a big deal. I'm thinking if it happened to them it'd be the biggest deal in the history of this company.

Yeah I can do his Tax

Let me know when he wants to do it

He'll need to talk to u coz he sub contracts as a poker dealer with an ABN etc. Pretty small annual income so shouldn't be hard but he needs to talk about what he can claim etc. I'll get him.to fb msg u if if that's cool? Or Or email

Hamish: haven't tried any others since mr burger. Paulie is a cousin or something lol..don't know him but I've probably met him, my extended family is massive. Any dessmann in Australia spelt that way is a relative

Didn't know he was the chef at parlour though, which is on the list of joints to hit

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
