Zeb, I do not think that there is a guide for the Roadster, however the trim is very easy to remove. I had to access my fuel pump on a regular basis and it only takes a few minutes to remove the associated trim including the section that stretches completely across the complete rear. Alex.

At the end of the day, who really cares. ?

May be the CSC on its way out.

First thing to do is to change the fluid and bleed well to get all the air out the system. Is your motor a DE or HR ?

Bargain. Do it before they are all sold.

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 ?

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 ?
