So I recently bought a R32 GTR and noticed a leak from the back. Popping my head under the car my first thought was the diff as the whole finned area was saturated, but looking a bit closer it seemed it might be the hicas dripping onto the diff. After jacking it up, it seems the leak is coming from just above and in front of the hicas bar. I took a video which might be easier then explaining, can anyone tell me what part this is and how I fix it?

Okay I've done a bit of a search, after looking at where the breather is, it is right beneath the bushing that has oil on it, so I am imagining the oil is squirting onto it, but can the oil really squirt out that high?

If it is the breather, what are my options? I read that sometimes dirt can keep it open, so maybe give it a good clean. Over filling? If so how do I know what the right amount of oil to use is? or do i just leave it, as it is sort of doing its job? I would prefer to stop the leak though haha

    • Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.
    • Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.
    • It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
    • OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear
