Just some epic oil leaking problems - caught it before the engine starved thank god... but motivation has been extremely low lately to finish the car and i'm looking for a house...so the current thought trail is too pull motor+go fast bits--> sell shell --> buy house-->find something to put motor in

How's yours going? havent been on the threads very often lately.

I had a crook back a while ago

A proper remedial massage and was good as new

Yes we do need to get out one night

Will have to work out a date everyone is free

Your welcome

Oh and Newcastle council are well f**ked

Did the first delivery today ( a new roof ) and the home owner tells me that the council has had a last minute change of mind and will not let him put a new iron roof on as he has to retain the look with tiles

Pity as he probably spent around $6000 for the roof sheets and ridge caps and now isn't allowed to have it fitted

And we all thought garages where hard

are there any more spots ant? I think id enjoy it but I wouldn't get into it. I work with a guy that races and he said every race meet costs around 500 bucks each. from tyres and rebuilding your engine after every second meet etc to get the most power etc. can go to wake field for that.

hah don't you watch rally matt? half the cars are hatch backs the other half are evos and wrxs

Nah, you dont need to rebuild after every race, unless you want to win a championship. I race just for fun and times. It costs me on average $50 for a day, including fuel and mainenance, and after 4-6 days, a set of tyres. They cost $230 for a set of slicks. Its good cheap fun.

Like anything though, If you want to get serious, then it costs big money. If you want to just have a bit of fun (like going to wakefield), the its cheap as chips.

Honesly, Go-Karts are sooooo cheap compaired to running at wakefield. For one trip to wakefield, you could do a kart trackday every week for a month, including a new set of tyres.

Father-in-law and I just built a trailer to haul our karts to and from the track. It cost $150 for the materials, we welded it all together and bolted it to his 6x4" box trailer. Done.

And still cheaper then a $25k car damaged at a trackday...

Driving a car fast on track is good fun, and is also risky (financially).. So many things can go wrong and get damaged. Even wear and tear is expensive.


A go-kart is sooooo much fun. They are crazy quick, and the speed you can pull through corners is in line with proper race cars with aero etc. not to mention they teach you so much about chassis and suspension setups.


You should at least go to a come and try day.

Agree with you completely, thats why i got interested, tracking a car is very bloddy expensive! and you still cant actually race like you do in a kart.

    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
    • Hey all, Noticed I have a hole on top of which im guessing is my transfer case/gearbox. I can see it from the middle of my firewall looking down. S1 R33 gtr Any advice or can pinpoint what this is/caused this?
