Seeping what exactly? Oil or water or charge air?

depends if its the water line or the oil line. there is like 2 copper crush washers. so if one isnt crushed and sealing correctly it will leak the appropriate fluid. they say to change them after a turbo swap in most stores. i re-used mine n i have never had a problem. but maybe urs are a little stuffed. i went to randwick nissan to get that kind of stuff n they usually are helpful but i have a guy that gets all my shit. but u can try getting it there direct. if ur in sydney that is.

Ok well hopefully its a copper washer like previously mentioned. Its a prick of a job. If your mechanically minded and have lots of patience you can do it yourself. However before you wipe off any oil make sure you work out exactly where it is coming from once you remove a few pipes etc and have a clear view of the situation :D Just make sure you get to the actual source of the leak and not what the most oil is sitting on.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own

      Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner

      Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now

      So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
