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...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
