wanna sell me your sump and oil pick up from your blown motor? :)

Haha, yeah maybe. I might list the bottom end complete first and see how it goes.

The head's been paid for and couriered today, that was fast. Thanks once again @admS15 for the tip!

No problem, glad to have been able to help out. Obviously I was in the right thread in the right time[emoji106]

The new engine has arrived from Sydney today, fingers cross I'll have the car back next week yay! Lots of new seals and gaskets going in, radiator and intercooler are getting flushed etc, getting it all done properly.

Ok the replacement engine is in, my mechanic did a very tidy job with it.

I'm currently in the process of ironing out a couple of niggles, one of them being the drop of oil still collecting at the bottom of the turbo front housing. The working theory was that it might have been leaking from the turbo oil feed but my mechanic pulled out the fitting and it seemed all good. One of the housing front housing bolt threads wasn't holding so we've replaced the bolt with a longer one that now tightens properly. We've also left out the catch can for the time being.

Does anyone have any other ideas on where the heck that oil might be coming from? Like Tao said there are no oil galleries in the comp cover so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me...

Is the face between the comp cover and the diffuser plate properly sealed with either an o-ring or some thin sealant?

Good question, I'm actually not sure. However I never had this issue before late last year and I just can't work out if it's engine related (blowby) or turbo related (oil feed or internal)...

Forgot to ask if you checked the intake pipe connection? I know i've had oil weeping from there in the past.

You mean where the intake connects to the turbo front housing? Not recently, I will have a look

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
