hi guys,

so i changed my gearbox and diff oil on the weekend and now all i can smell when im driving is gear oil. i rechecked the fill/drain holes straight away and they are all good. i spilt a little bit of diff oil on the exhaust when i was filling it up, but ive since done a 200km drive up to the city and back, so i assume that would have all been burnt off by now. is there anyway that a leak or something could have been triggered? this smell is driving me insane.

I would try checking everywhere to see where the oil spilt as transmission oil smells bad any time without burning it.

I would then be trying to wipe it off or if it is in a spot that you cannot get to then hit it with some degreaser but make sure that you hose it off well. There could be some that is on the side of the gearbox and it is slowly dripping into the exhaust - it only takes a few spots on the exhaust to smell bad.

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
