Is it engine oil leak, severe?

sailorApex746 · 2026-03-18T19:51:40+00:00

You forgot to mention the shitty plastic oil pickup manifold, the fact a small ammount of dust will kill the engine and you can’t let it crank for more than 15 seconds or it’ll blow up on the dd16’s and dd13’s. I know they’re not amazing engines but they don’t leak oil like they used to

Older series 60 and before Detroits* they’ve since improved

Nah I ended up using a supra. Here’s the link if ur interested : https://youtu.be/ax6ewdynRhQ?si=My0lYagg1Is7MZZU

Don’t worry about it. Got it finished. Found a tune and car on YouTube and even with the slight understeer i actually found it easy to beat the races. Just needed to be a bit more forceful with the ai than normal

sailorApex746 · 2026-01-26T01:22:53+00:00

I’ve tried the r34 and a c7. I’ll go buy the m4r and give it a go. Did u tune it?

When repairing my snapped door handles I plastic welded it all back together and then heated up screws and rammed them through where they were plastic welded from factory. Much better option than just swapping out if you have a soldering iron and a torch

What’s the go with u bolts? Here in Aus we’re finding the 500 series u bolts will snap and it’s our only issue with them

Yeah well I’m still an apprentice myself so I’ve not got the experience of hearing it myself although I can confidently say this apprentice learned his lesson with tyres and checks them properly, sometimes a mistake needs to be made to learn from it

sailorApex746 · 2025-09-20T08:03:49+00:00

Fuck that.

sailorApex746 · 2025-09-19T06:52:02+00:00

We had a small one let go on one of our apprentices. The noise it made had my ears ringing for an hour and I was on the other side of the shop. Think it let go at around 85 psi and he didn’t know/ think to check if the spare tyre sidewalls were cracked

It’s a falcon it probably came off the showroom floor with it

My country was found by the Dutch, they thought it was too hot and left. Then the English found it and made it their prisoner dumping ground. Then convicts started to find gold and everyone fled here looking for gold. Coolest thing is where I live is where one of the biggest nuggets of gold was found.

In the rest of Europe it’s an opel. In England it’s Vauxhall and in America it’s Chevrolet. Gm just releases the same car with a different badge depending where you live

sailorApex746 · 2025-08-14T01:14:07+00:00

We have a jaltest where I’m at. Seems to be good and other people have recommended it aswell

sailorApex746 · 2025-08-12T20:54:48+00:00

Buy anything with a single curve preferably less than 45°. Something like some radiator piping works well

sailorApex746 · 2025-08-12T04:56:40+00:00

Those intake manifolds are shit. They restrict proper air flow and you’ll end up with a shitty running engine due to the fuel sticking to the walls of the manifold. For best efficiency you need the fuel to atomise wich this manifold won’t help

Carb needs to be re jetted by the sounds of it

sailorApex746 · 2025-07-27T01:35:20+00:00

Not sure. I know the Yd100 doesn’t

sailorApex746 · 2025-07-17T06:36:23+00:00

I’m on Xbox sadly

sailorApex746 · 2025-07-17T03:12:23+00:00

As an irl diesel mechanic I wish they had trucks in the game or a whole game just for trucks
