Was out with the wife in her 260RS Autech today when we noticed a smell.

Pulled over and the entire underside of the car was drenched in oil. We nursed it home as it wasnt far and there as about half a litre left in it. It seems to have come from high on the drivers side of the bell housing but Im not sure as I cant see anything that it could have come from.

Ran reccomended oil. Did a change on it last week and It had plenty of oil in it then in good condition.

Could it have pumped out the breather?

Ive no Idea and need help in trouble shooting.

Car is a 98 Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech with 100,000 on it

Engine and driveline is R33 GTR.

Thanks for any advice. Its sitting on jack stands atm and Im scratching my head.

Wait hold on... Im a f**king idiot.

I filled the transfer case instead because I forgot its not my GTST and I went through the top of the gearbox housing.

I havent driven far or hard on it so I hope I havent blown all the seals out of it but we'll see...

Yes I'm embarrassed. Yes I admit it lol

Its only done 20 or so km's so I hope I havent hurt it

awesome...you beat me to it :)

So, assuming you dropped the gearbox oil it currently has nothing in it....better get it filled.

And you need auto trans oil in the transfer case not gear oil, so you need to drop and replace that too

It had enough to keep the gears damp. The boss only drive it to work and to the shops. Im hoping the seals held and it all was from the breather as it looks the case...

My missus is having fun laughing at me and demaning its fixed by tomorrow...

Or shes taking the skyline... Noooooooooooo

    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
