when you remove the other plug and hold the threads together (plugs facing each other) and see if the threads mate up

Massive thread dig. Has anyone replaced the O-ring's on their sump plugs? I replaced mine previously but must have just used a general O-ring and it leaked. Have used a high temp O-ring this time so will see how it goes. But just curious if anyone has had any issues with their O-Ring, or if anyone has ordered/sourced a new one?

I'm not sure Phil is still around these parts, but he's not cool anyway cause he sold his Skyline........ :)

I have one as well.......tried it in my sump and it didn't feel right, was loose even though it was supposedly the correct thread [says thread on the little pill tube it came in as M12 x 1.25].  I removed and never ever used it.  I am thinking that quite a few of them would end up like mine....sitting on the shelf, or in my case shed fridge.  I grimace every time I get a beer.

Mine is still on the car some 6+ years later. No leaks although the rubber gasket looks pretty worn last time i changed the oil.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
