You should definitely heed the break in warnings. That would really help. BUT an all out failure like that is still unacceptable IMO. Either way, EVO. There. Now my post

Okay wait a second. You guys took a NISMO up to 140mph with only 300 miles on the ODO? The car wasn't even broken in. No wonder why you had a failure. I have had my car sit at 160 mph for 30 minutes before several times, never had a issue. And that was on a course not public roads.

+1 on having to take it easy during the break-in period. i can't imagine ragging my car out with only 300 miles on the ODO.

yeah, my fault for not heeding the break in.... but there were other 370s on that day, we are all in a convoy, one was another mt, and atleast 3 others were AT. Yes, they all have higher mileage than my car but I'm quite sure that most of them have yet to break the 1200 mile barrier either. the other nismo that stalled had 500++ miles on it with an oil cooler. I was trailing an AT 370 and not overtaking anyone.
we were in a convoy of 18 cars..... more than half of them have low mileage (bnew gtrs and 370s, porsche panamera, r8). Last edited by Baddriver; 09-23-2009 at 03:33 PM. |

the real indication that the oil may have gone too hot is perhaps the molten plastic lining inside the drain plug but still the opinion that it's extraordinarily stinky is from the shop guys, and they've worked on cars for a while now. |

Molten plastic lining? That's strange. I did my own fluid swap, and there's no plastic lining on the drain bolt itself. The bolt is steel, and there's washer. Are you referring to the washer? The washer is aluminum though, not plastic. Either way, it sounds like there was some sort of sludge stuck to the bolt, which definitely is not good.

That's the drain hole, and all I see is a little residual fluid dripping out.

Here is the exploded view of the diff from the service manual, in case anyone is curious.
