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

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
