[GD2ILA]

Hi Peoples,

Situation: i spent a whole day racing against friends new Lambo Gallardo. i have a R34 GTR VSpec (278 rwkw) from launch he wins by a car legnth, rolling start 30kms i win by half a car length and we were doing this all day. Next morning open bonnet to find oil keaking from intercooler piping. What could be causing the leak from engine internally or from turbos? is this is a major problem? any advice will help.

are you using an oil catch can?

just bought the car last week, i don't know much about the inner workings. the car is basically standard it has following mods:

- new cams

- nismo exhaust

- apexi power fc

- running 1bar boost

if the oil is coming from the intercooler piping that suggests to me that it could be oil coming from the breather hoses usualy if you have a car making that kind of power you should think about having an oil catch can.

how much oil was leaking from the pipe, was it heaps or just a little bit?

It wasn't heaps. i have cleaned the area, i've driven after that day and it doesn't seem to be leaking anymore.

when we launched from the lights, i had a look in the rear view mirror and not 1 car has moved. i think they were all to busy watching. we caught up to the traffic in front of us and the traffic with us at the lights were gone.

got my car booked in for Sat. at Racepace for Ben to have a look at hope it nothing major.

make sure your oil level is up past the full line(overfull) (to the curve in the dipstick)

when you are reving it hard!

cheers russ (otherwise you will be rebuilding the engine)
