If you want to do it yourself (or with a mate helping) check out the clutch change DIY in my sig for some clues. Consider doing the clutch at the same time if its old. Wild stab in the dark for cost, around $500, or whatever a clutch change costs.

where are you located? i can do it

No need for a clutch change yet as the clutch is only 2 years old and its not my daily driver im in sydney Near the liverpool area, What would you charge if i give you a hand? i can probably even drive to you.

Ps: I do my own service for the car, Fuel filter, OIl, Oil filter, Spark plugs, brake pads, Discs... But that about all i have touched with my car on my own, so its not asif im totally clueless about everything on the car, I have even changed the whole dashboard on my own as well as cluster, All interior bits ive torn apart and put back together... but when it comes to bigger mechanical things like that I'd rather some help or someone else with experience

Probably the rubber boot that the gear shifter goes into. They are notorious for splitting over time and causing oil to run down the middle to back end of gbox/transfer case to the bottom of box.

Pm me if you want me to check it out etc...

Telltale sign for that boot's death is fumes through the shifter boot at highway cruise.

Transmission fumes one of the worst smelling oils going I recon it's rocket cover gaskets and the half moons they are very common to go if not replaced I can check it out this weekend as I'll be down that way

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.

      Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
