wanna sell me your sump and oil pick up from your blown motor? :)

Haha, yeah maybe. I might list the bottom end complete first and see how it goes.

The head's been paid for and couriered today, that was fast. Thanks once again @admS15 for the tip!

No problem, glad to have been able to help out. Obviously I was in the right thread in the right time[emoji106]

The new engine has arrived from Sydney today, fingers cross I'll have the car back next week yay! Lots of new seals and gaskets going in, radiator and intercooler are getting flushed etc, getting it all done properly.

Ok the replacement engine is in, my mechanic did a very tidy job with it.

I'm currently in the process of ironing out a couple of niggles, one of them being the drop of oil still collecting at the bottom of the turbo front housing. The working theory was that it might have been leaking from the turbo oil feed but my mechanic pulled out the fitting and it seemed all good. One of the housing front housing bolt threads wasn't holding so we've replaced the bolt with a longer one that now tightens properly. We've also left out the catch can for the time being.

Does anyone have any other ideas on where the heck that oil might be coming from? Like Tao said there are no oil galleries in the comp cover so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me...

Is the face between the comp cover and the diffuser plate properly sealed with either an o-ring or some thin sealant?

Good question, I'm actually not sure. However I never had this issue before late last year and I just can't work out if it's engine related (blowby) or turbo related (oil feed or internal)...

Forgot to ask if you checked the intake pipe connection? I know i've had oil weeping from there in the past.

You mean where the intake connects to the turbo front housing? Not recently, I will have a look

    • So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
    • Id just remove the solid subframe bushes.  you are over complicating things.  on a side note make sure you do some research on the skyline shed before buying from them. 
    • Just got back from overseas and once again Rego and service time. Supercheap auto cant find my plates on their list to match my car to buy a crush washer lolol. NRMA has my number plate linked to R35 GTR which i have explained once again that it is not a GTR. Its scary in the sense that if somthing happens and my insurance wont cover me if its the wrong car on their list even though they are the ones that have made the mistake. Im not sure NIGHTCRAWLER why the neg comment? Its a 2020 V37 400R Skyline? and asking for someone to post their VIN number is crazy just to prove it? Its a legit Nissan Skyline from japan factory 400R its does use the Q50 infinity chasis but this is the Japan model. 
    • no, you aren't, but good to see you pop by
    • I can also smell fuel in oil if that helps.
