R34 Gt-T Oil Leak?

Hey all my R34 seems to be having an issue with oil. Every time I service it I put in almost exactly 5 litres of oil but then after around 3000ks I usually have to put around another litre in, which I'm guessing isn't exactly normal. Also the oil pressure gauge gets gradually lower (as you'd probably expect) so I was wondering where the usual suspects for an oil leak would be? There is nothing underneath the car when I leave it for a week or so and there is no visible oil I'm the engine bay. This is just on the outside however I haven't had any time to pull anything apart I've been to busy.

To give a bit of additional info I'm using nulon synthetic oil and a genuine Nissan oil filter. Any help is appreciated cos I have a couple of days off now so I wanna find it if possible

If it's not leaking out you don't have a leak! It would be getting burnt. Keep topping it up and thrashing the car. Also stock nissan oil pressure gauges aren't accurate so I wouldn't care what it says, if you do care get a decent oil pressure gauge.

Would it really burn that much? It's only a daily driver which rarely sees more than 2 psi positive pressure... Most of it's life is spent on freeways. Just seems excessive

well the oil cant be just disappearing! if that was a leak you would see it easily. don't worry about it.

Unless you have had it from new then you dont know how previous owners have treated the engine, maybe its getting babied now but it couldve had its arse kicked/overheated/thrashed before you got it

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
