    S650 Brembo Rear Retrofit?

    More like I’m looking at an alternative to doing the GT350R overhaul kit (M-2300-Y). The 81/19 stock balance I feel like puts so much stress on the front tires to brake heavy and turn in. The GT350 with its 67/33 bias has this sorted so much better.

    S650 Brembo Rear Retrofit?

    Just spitballing here but had an idea to upgrade the rears on a 2017 GTPP. Since the S550 and S650 have interchangeable parts for the suspension, control arms, etc. I was wondering if it would be possible to get the S650 knuckles, calipers, rotors, etc. as well as a brake controller to dial in...

    Race Seat Airbag Light

    Hello all, I’m looking at replacing the stock cloth seats with a race seat and reading threads about wiring a resistor into the wiring harness. I don’t want to rip apart my stock seat but I was wondering if it’s possible to get a second wiring harness (pic and link below) to wire the resistor...

    S550 Never ending oil leak

    Wanted to thank you all again for your help. So far so good, I took the cooler off and cleaned the entire surface and put it all back together and torqued it down and no more new drops on the floor or on the car that I can tell. Fingers crossed it’ll stay like that

    S550 Never ending oil leak

    That’s kind of what I did. I took it off and cleaned the whole area and put it back together. I did not see any leaks above it on the engine block, but if it continues would it be best to just replace the oil cooler? It doesn’t look like there’s a separate part to just replace the o ring, it’s...

    S550 Never ending oil leak

    Ok so I believe I have located the source of the leak. Last time I was under there I cleaned up everything and now it seems there’s an oil waterfall coming from behind the cooler (highlighted yellow below). I have checked the 14mm and it was tight.

    S550 Never ending oil leak

    Thank you all for the help, I’m going to see if I can try this later today. Is there any specific torque spec for the hex inside or just snug?

    S550 Never ending oil leak

    For about a month or so I’ve been trying to fix an oil leak. Started off as just 5-6 drops on the garage floor after driving it. At first I thought it was the filter and changed it, then the oil pressure switch and changed that. I took the car out for a ~300 mile cruise on Sunday (today’s...
