Sudden Major Trans Oil Loss

Was out with the wife in her 260RS Autech today when we noticed a smell.

Pulled over and the entire underside of the car was drenched in oil. We nursed it home as it wasnt far and there as about half a litre left in it. It seems to have come from high on the drivers side of the bell housing but Im not sure as I cant see anything that it could have come from.

Ran reccomended oil. Did a change on it last week and It had plenty of oil in it then in good condition.

Could it have pumped out the breather?

Ive no Idea and need help in trouble shooting.

Car is a 98 Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech with 100,000 on it

Engine and driveline is R33 GTR.

Thanks for any advice. Its sitting on jack stands atm and Im scratching my head.

Wait hold on... Im a f**king idiot.

I filled the transfer case instead because I forgot its not my GTST and I went through the top of the gearbox housing.

I havent driven far or hard on it so I hope I havent blown all the seals out of it but we'll see...

Yes I'm embarrassed. Yes I admit it lol

Its only done 20 or so km's so I hope I havent hurt it

awesome...you beat me to it :)

So, assuming you dropped the gearbox oil it currently has nothing in it....better get it filled.

And you need auto trans oil in the transfer case not gear oil, so you need to drop and replace that too

It had enough to keep the gears damp. The boss only drive it to work and to the shops. Im hoping the seals held and it all was from the breather as it looks the case...

My missus is having fun laughing at me and demaning its fixed by tomorrow...

Or shes taking the skyline... Noooooooooooo

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
