hey i got a r31 with a rb26 motor and a rb25 gearbox. After driving today in the heat for more then an hour and only really giving it a hit twice i got home parked the car and came back out and the gearbox was pissing out liquid, is my box gone? Could it be something smaller? Liquid was seeping from the front of the box

The only thing i noticed when driving in hot weather is that when accelerating between gear changes the car sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

i had my clutch replaced when i bought my car and at the same time they replaced the rear main seal aswell.

about 2 months later i was in a hurry and WOT'd the car for a while (on a hot day). when i got back home everything was fine, car ran ok. next day got home from work and noticed oil where my car was sitting. turned out the rear main engine seal was put in backwards and produced a leak under sustained WOT. took the car back, they fixed it and never had a problem since. that was 3 years ago

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
