ive got a series two stagea rs4s (the factory 5 speed manual) and it has a leak coming from up around the shifter. i searched through heaps of threads but couldnt find anyone else that has the same problem. but im hoping someone may have some answers for me.

1.is there alot of areas around the shifter that could leak??

2.does it have a bunch of seals or is it just a simple gasket??

3.is there seals or anything that wears out and requires replacement??

4.is it even possible to get replacement parts, or will i need to start scouring wrecking yards??

any help would be great.

cheers Ray

most likely just the gasket that is between the shifter 6bolt plate that bolts down onto the rear housing of the gearbox, very easy fix and should only take you 20 mins or so, if its leaking above that it could be the rubber boot that covers the hole between the shifter 6bolt plate and the gear shift lever itself, which is also a very easy fix

Yeah itll be the boot. Obviously the shifter moves around in the boot all the time so its gets old and it cracks over time...you can get them from nissan for like 16 bucks. Just quote your VIN and thats it.

i pulled the boot off on sunday and checked it out. i couldnt find any cracks in it, but the whole thing was covered in oil. is it supposed to just be held on with 2 zip ties?? cos mine was, much to my surprise. anyway i wiped it off and put it on with fresh zip ties.

for some reason i get a feeling it should be held on with more than just a zip tie top and bottom. does everyone else's have the same arrangement??

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?

      From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.

      3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access

      OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
