Its good to know its possible to do the seal without pulling the pump off. Just a thought. If my front seal is leaking does that mean I need a new timing belt because it will be stuffed?

If you used a fresh timing belt, you don't need a new one. You've done less than 250km on that belt, waste of money changing it. Its not like you change your pulley belts everytime you take one off to get to something else.

Mmmm I don't think car oil has the properties to ruin a timing belt... Its made of material much MUCH tougher than rubber and oil doesn't eat rubber. It should be fine. Someone should confirm this, I don't want to be wrong and then the belt breaks..

just to throw it out there - You really don't want a slippery belt on there.

And you must choose your cleaning solution wisely - or the belt WILL deteriorate..

Good to know this stuff. It seems logical to replace a $100 belt than risk a 5k engine.

The leak is very minimal, like there isn't a difference on the dipstick. Just a few drops on the floor. It didn't have leaks hen I did the oil change, but in the next 15km it started to leak :/

It's not the front seal. It looks like its coming from up higher. I can't see where but yeah. Maybe the oil pump bolts aren't tight enough? Is there actually much pressure behind the oil pump? There isn't a single spec of oil vapor in my breathers.

Whos the new workshop to blame now?

Was efi to start with now who?

Name and shame your wonderfull work

What's it to you man? Why is it so important to you that every time something goes wrong with Steven's build, you are there to rub it in his face?

Why is anyone to blame at all. It's an oil leak. And I do still have negative things to say about 2 businesses at yatala, I just know its not worth worrying about it anymore. Proving their lack of quality work won't fix the problems or put the money back in my pocket.

I was actually wondering when you would be back.

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
