Yeah I've degreased and wiped it all down. The only spot that I keep getting oil on the bar with the holes in it and a few drops on the sump. I had it running with covers off and nothing came out. But I think I spilt like half a litre of oil.

Good news about the oil test, that must be a relief!

I can't find a leak. I'm just waiting to see if I am actually losing any oil. Im hoping it's just oil I spilt.

Could it have just been from when you say changed the oil filter? Some usually splashes out then.

It's really weird. Like considering how much oil is under my car I shoul notice a difference. But it's still perfectly on the full line. I might just drive it and see if it keeps happening. I'm going to put my oil pressure gauge in when I get a chance anyway. I don't trust the light.

Hey Steven

Just curios could u send me deytails of where u sent it I'm gunna get mine done now aswell lol

You have the tools to rebuild an engine but how can you not own a funnel? Or at least a coke bottle with the ass cut off it?

booztjjunkie - i tried to get it done through walkers but they dont do them anymore :/ , i ended up gettin my dad to do it through work.he snuck it in with the samples from the diesel trains.

the stock plate has 1 hole but i havent got a temp guage anyway so for now i think il be ok.

mafia - lol funnels dont help when a dog jumps on you.

Ok. I'm losing my mind, drove my car to work yesterday, checked the oil at smoko, down 1 litre. Ok fine, rang my wife she went and bought some oil and brought it down to me, put half a litre in. Get home have dinner, check oil and it's half a litre over full.

I wouldn't say I was driving hard but I wasn't grandmaing either. Like I'm running it in so bursts of acceleration. I'm up to 5500rpm now and the turbo has regained is old habits. Starts off at 3/4psi creeps to 7 and sits there for a while then gets up and walks its way to 16psi by 5500rpm.

Edit. Not sure if this is a major factor but that was up one of the steepest streets around.

My tuner is changing shops so yeah I'm still waiting. And if I knew it would spike that high I wouldn't have done it, it only happened once. I'm beig very careful with it, I measure the oil that came out over night and there is mayb 4/5ml. In my drip tray.

I am trying to use the same spot at work everyday but it's not easy to get it all the time.

I was thinking about it last night and what if my machinist machined a oil bit off the oil seal part of my crank.

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
