yeah just been reading about oil in the pipes and catch tanks - just seemed like quite a bit of oil

still was so sure I was going to find a totally ruined turbo and now I have no idea whats going on or what else could be causing it to be a dick

any suggestions of my other problem ? the search function on this forum is taking a beating and not sure if I can look anymore!

going to get the turbo looked at tomorrow as I have a day off then hopefully if its all well and good Ill be putting it back together and crossing everything its all ok :(

Not pressure tested the intercooler pipes - will be replacing the couplings as its not all apart - call going into hypergear today to see if they have service the turbo for me.. then its all back together hoping for an easy resolution

all back together - had a nightmare bleeding the coolant system and have just taken it out for a quick test..

its on boost and seems nice and strong, whilst pussy footing it up the gears i got into second and it wont shift up from second just slips and revs, new top speed of 60kph

now is that an assumption that gearbox needs a serious looking at?

yeah auto - any reason for them to have burnt out? or just one of those things with 160k?

noticed my attesa fluid has risen quite a bit also, assume thats a result of the box having a death

The clutches wear, just like any other clutch. They are designed to slip into gear gently which causes more wear. People fit shift kits to their auto to help speed up the shift, and put more pressure on the clutches to stop the slipping.

If the clutches are worn they are quite hard to replace, and usually the entire box is rebuilt.

It could also be a sticky or blocked solenoid or filter. Probably best to get an opinion from a respected local auto specialist.

The attessa has nothing to do with the box, other than being bolted to the back of it...

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
