My Oil Pump Housing Is Leaking Ever So Slightly.

We thought it was the front crank seal but when we took the timing belts etc all off we found it was clean as, not a drop on it and the oil appeared to be coming from the oil pump housing. Being as we didn't fancy dropping the sump to remove the oil pump assembly allowing removal of the housing, we put high temp iron oxide sealant all around the edges of the housing.

I just checked and it hasn't leaked yet but it has only been one day, might only last a week. Is there any way to replace the gasket without dropping the sump? It looks like even if you unbolt it the regulator will stop you removing it (which is in the sump itself). Any ideas people? Really dont want to have to drop the sump and f**k around with the oil pump pickup and everything.

You gotta unscrew the sump as the bottom of the oil pump housing makes up the front part of the sump flange, you wouldn't need to touch the oil pickup. Where bouts exactly is it leaking from? The paper gasket ( oil pump housing) or silicone gasket (sump)?

The paper gasket around the top and sides, since covering it in high temp sealant it hasn't leaked though.

If looking at your engine the top left side of the pump housing is where the pickup from the sump feeds into your pump and bottom right pumps out so a leak near either of them could potentially cause. Pressure issues, but sounds like you got the leak sorted anyway.

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
