High or low on the side of the engine? It could be the rocker cover, turbo oil feed, turbo oil return, sump or a breather pipe leaking...

If it's nearer the front, it could be the timing cover, as they do leak on a lot of SR engines.

How much does a garage charge to do the oil lines, as it's turbo and manifold off if it's the same as the 13 and 14...?

:nod: You have to get the turbo off to fit the inlet oil feed.

Don't understand why it wouldn't fit if it was one of Apex's. Mine was fine.

Thought it'd be the same. Do most people here do their own work or take the car to a garage?

Quite a few do their own work. Stuff like gearboxes and clutches I leave to garages. Ming gets garages to do everything because he's a girl :p Kimi gets garages to do everything because she has contacts and...well...because she's a girl too... :D

That's fair enough. People are talented in different areas. I'd happily build a drift car from a bare shell, but give me a website to design and I wouldn't know where to start.

Nicely-clutches aren't all that bad to do. Have you ever thought of doing one yourself? The main problem is getting the car high enough in the air to manoeuvre the box out (and more importantly back in:D)

Considering the problems the place I got to do mine at the beginning of the year had (and, yes, they know what they're doing), I'm more than happy I only paid about ?350 for them to fit a new gearbox, clutch, flywheel, pivot, big slave cylinder, braided clutch line and bleed it. The biggest issue was bleeding. It wasn't until they'd removed the box again and checked thicknesses that they realised the difference in clutch plate thickness meant that the fork had to travel further to engage the clutch and that the Nismo slave cylinder's piston didn't reach far enough. They had to extend the piston. Quite bizzare considering it was a Nismo clutch and fly...

I discovered last weekend that the farm estate my cottage is on has a pit, and the landlord offered it to me to use... :D

Anyway, back on topic :)

Nicely, i just tried to fit my Apex braided oil feed pipe and it won't fit :( The bolt they supply is too long (it hits inside the turbo before it's tight enough). A can't use the original bolt as the new banjo has a different bore and thickness.

What the hell do i do now? Any advice?
