What is your budget as I may be able to help ? Alex.

to the forum.

+ the pump and steering column coupling universal joint.

Sill step ?

to the forum.

Nissan recommend fully synth 5W30, however as Dan has said might be worth considering 10W30 for your application.

Then should be fully hydraulic with no electric assist.

I remember that as well Neil and was not that long ago.

Pre facelift VQ35DE rev up so will probably be an oil gussler.

What rack are you running ? the later racks have electronic assist. Alex.

to the forum. You will have to establish if you are using oil or coolant. If coolant then probably head gasket. If oil, then could be worn valve guides or valve stem oil seals or may be more serious, rings or pistons. Various checks can be carried out by the informed to establish what the issue is and also the proper fix. Also worth checking the ECV which is fitted to the R/H cam cover. Good luck. Alex.

10 minutes to remove the console. Why don't you have a look, it is hardly rocket science ? Alex.

I would be inclined not to worry to much about it unless it happens again. Could be lack of oil at top end or hydraulic chain tensioners, however both these would be for seconds and not 10 minutes. Alex.

At rear under centre console close to handbrake. Alex.

to the forum, and you will be fine without the heat shields.

What was the oil pressure showing when all this was going on ?

Could be that, however as I said in previous post could be one of many things. BCM and Nats antenna etc.etc can be very expensive. Get it checked out by an informed indy or work your way through the process of elimination, starting with the cheapest. Battery condition check would be my first check. Where are you based as there may be a good indy close by? Alex.

As per my previous post, a spade chisel and a big hammer will break the seal and then you will just have to work away at it working the bushing sleeve down the chassis stud.

They can be tight, so use plenty WD40 or similar and get a spade chisel in between the top of the arm and the chassis to break the seal. Never had to cut one off yet and I have removed dozens. Alex.

Doesn't sound like clutch issues to me if your revs are not moving fast.

Could be numerous things including crank position sensor or perhaps battery on its way out. Alex.

The drop links connect the sway bars to the lower suspension arms.
