I got to mine with a 3inch exhaust basically in the way just using my 1/2 inch ratchet straight into the plug ( or a short extention can't remember)

Finding it is harder than undoing it!

Ah well the car is going onto stands soon/this afternoon. Going to change the oil in my transfer case (hasn't been done since I've owned it) and maybe have a stab at flushing my gearbox. I bought some chef synthetic atf from supercheap a while ago to do the job (says it's matic d compliant/compatible).

I ended up flagging the rear diff and serviced my transfer case instead (did it with the car on the ground reaching under).

Car's too much effort to get off the ground, doesn't go up ramps I need to drive onto blocks of wood to get a jack under it and when I jack up one end and put it on stands I can't fit the jack under the other end lol. Might leave that one to the professionals.

fkin A!

its a difficult job on the floor

plug often super tight

may need to remove cat back to get at it with enough leverage

and then you need to refill the damn thing from below, and fluid doesn't like travelling uphill.

dead easy on a hoist with the right tools

Hmm I didn't realise it was that much hassle. Ive done them quite a few times, and done it when I have the car up on 4 stands.

As I mentioned, a few flex joints helps to do the twisting outside the wheel well. Another pair of hands helps too! It's tricky keeping a floppy pole in a hole.

    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to moth things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
    • The log you did with ECU voltage, can you log the other things too like rpm and oil pressure? Need all that info together to compare easily
    • Editting as I hit post to soon, and this will lock out otherwise.
    • Think ill be going hunting for bad earths and might just replace the alternator for shits n gigs as its an LS alternator but only about 5 years old with very minimal use in that 5 years.
