I'm very keen, but I'm little worried about a very small oil leak I have (about 3 drops of engine oil every time I park).

I'll call the track tomorrow and see what they say, if its no worries, I'll pay tomorrow.

highly unlikly youll pass scruteneering at the start of the day :(

you still got 10 days, to fix it up mate, cant see where its coming from????

it may be 3 drops now but runninf at max temp could spit the seal right out and make it 3 litres and delay the fun for probly an hour.

its lots of fun mate i reccomend fixing it up and coming along :D

I would speak to the guys here running the day. It's not the track that will check your car its the SAU scrutineers.

SAU does the scruitineering on the cars. You'd be surprised that when you go to a speed off the streets day (or some other clubs) scruitneering works on an "HONOR" system. Personally, I have great peace of mind that the SAU boys look over the cars to ensure it is basically mechanically sound.

(Back on topic)

Have a look where it is coming from under the car. Might just be a drain plug washer or something simple. A few drops during a whole day of sitting isn't really too much bother from a scruitineering point of view, but if we look under your car and the whole underside is coated in oil then we probably won't give you a pass.

Mechanically you are responsible for your own car so you have to appease your own peace of mind if it is going to be ok.

Oh, and Martin there's no timing so we just put the cars into groups (a colored sticker on your car) there are no car numbers so run what ever you like :).

My father and I have pulled half the engine apart trying to fix the leak.

We've replaced all sorts of seals and shit trying to find it, no dice. 

I've already done a track day with the car and it was fine, just the same few drops of oil every time we came in.  

It really is just a few drops, I don't need to top it up between oil changes. And I won't have time to pull it apart again before the track day.

(The car is mechanically sound anyway, I use it every day for work, not the least bit worried about this damaging it)  

Anyway, cheers for the feedback.

Knowing how little oil is coming out of it, do you think I'd get knocked back?  

Again, thanks for the very helpful feedback

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
