What's Going On In These Pictures?

Is the last photo supposed to be up there?

looks as though the rear seal in the gearbox is leaking slightly, hard to say for sure from the pictures but looks like it has a slow leak and as you drive along it pushes all the oil back into the exhaust

It had a heavy duty clutch put in just before I bought it so guessing the mechanic did a shit job?

The fluid on the exhaust is dripping down from above.

Theist pic I thought I'd pic there just in case and if I don't get an answer for it I'll post it in a thread on the suspension section.

What do I do about the leak? Take if back to the mechanic and get him to do if properly this time?

Thats a leak?

I can't see where it's actually dripping.

Even if it is leaking, it's an advanced anti rust feature that slowly administers an advanced lubricant to the under carriage. Ingenious design!

With regards to the last picture what I experience sometimes is a similar sensation to driving over one of those street lines that has all the bumps and kind of hums. So I figured the tyres were rubbing on something. And if you look in the pic on the bit of metal above the wheel you see it has been rubbing on that but I can't find a particular circumstance when it occurs. Probably happens most when going downhill.

Yeah I wouldnt stress about that, I have about the same gap on my UCA and dont have any issues. Is the rubbing in a straight line or when turning, I think from your description it is just straight driving. Its not the tyre rubbing on the inner guards or anything like that? mine does that sometimes.

O.K so where it is rubbing should move with the wheel as it is attatched to the hub. Should be able to see what I'm talking about from these screenshots:

This is the front hub:

I've circled the bit in red to match it up to the front suspension:

So the red bit is what joins the hub to the arm that you can see rubbing on. So the only way I can see the tyre rubbing here is if you have to much wear in the 'king pin' or somewhere there. It shouldnt be able to rub there as it should move with the tyre/suspension so I would check around there to make sure there arent any problems

Perhaps take it somewhere for a suspension check. Like pedders etc and tell them what its doing

Not in the engine bay, that's for sure. You know where the gearbox is? The fill hole is on the side of it. Check level there. Car on hoist stuff.

Yeah I thought it probably was, was hoping for an easy check I guess. Need a hoist? Can't get under there with a trolley jack and stands?

Yeah can't even understand how it's possible...

just undo the bung on the side of the gearbox (with the car level of course). stick your finger in the hole, there should be oil right up to the hole, but no more. if you have to shove your whole finger in there and reach down to find it, then it needs a top up. i had the same issue recently. the seal itself is cheap and easy to replace, but the exhaust and drive shaft need to come out to do it.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
