Hey fellas yesterday I did an engine oil n filter change (used GW SYN-X 3000), i drained the oil out for like 15-20mins, there still was a constant tiny trickle out from the sump which is impossible to get rid of. Then I did the filter and topped up oil from the 5L bottle leaving like 100-200ml in the bottle. My dipstick shows fresh oil like 1-2 cm above the max mark.

Should i be worried n drain some out????

Engine oil press while driving is normal 2kg/cm sq and up to 6kg/cm sq when boosting hard..

run the engine for 30 seconds or so, turn it off, let it sit for about a minute and then check the oil level. if it is still well over the max level then you could drain a bit out. if it is about at the full mark then it isn't so much of a drama.

Ok cheers dude will do that. )

i always put the full 5 litres in now, it always shit me wasting the tiny bit at the end

over filling slightly wont cause you any problems

i dont really see how over filling could cause any problem at all?

There is alot of space between the hot mark on the dipstick and the bottom of the crank on RB26s (room for about 1.5-2l of more oil), which is why we overfill to the hump. But when oil does hit the crank from, the crank whips it up like butter and it foams up, also creating crankhouse pressure which can blow the rear main.

dont overfill it to much, i poped the rear main seal on my r34 with the oil level at the hump (granted it may not have been the cause but its the only thing i can put it down to + shitty factory breather setup). n1's extra oil capacity is due to a factory oil cooler i think.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
