Its in Toronto right now getting all the maintance caught up and all the fluids changed.

Its also getting a crank seal replaced this weekend. They are supposed to send me more pics of the oil pan off and the work being done.
The oil pump is also being checked.
They are going to also find out the manufacturer of the clutch for future reference... many folks make twin plate clutches for R32s.

It will be here on Sept 12th...

Just updating this for myself so all the info is in one place.

> So we did an inspection on your car and the following things was done...
> 1) The loose piece of trim on the drivers side was repaired and remounted
> 2) Oil change done with Pitworks filter and Synthetic oil
> 3) The oil leak was traced to leaky valve cover in the rear of the block....this was repaired.
>Your car is ready to go

-HKS Intakes & Filters swapped out for M's Power Intakes & K&N Filters
-Part #25290-01U10 for Nismo radio control delete (eliminates radio controls on dash and replaces with GTR emblem and Hazard Flashers)

How was the oil leak repaired? New valve cover gasket of just a big glob of RTV?


Just something to look at when you take delivery...


Was playing with some V6/60 distributors today and found RTV on both... come on, people, just replace the O-rings...

Completely different manufacturers.

I could not afford to pay $30k for an IS300 and then a skyline drivetrain ($10000) to make an awd car.
