one last bit of maintenance I had to do before I left was fix up the leaking transfer case - well at least I thought it was the transfer case output shaft seal until I saw it was actually leaking out of the center of the driveshaft yoke. Thankfully this repair was carried out as a recall in Japan and the US however my car must have left Japan before the recall was carried out as it still was the earlier brass frost plug type rather than the welded type. I ordered a 'recall kit' that contains the whole front yoke and seal from the US which ended up being cheaper than just getting the yoke on its own in NZ, and had it fitted.

Very jealous of how clean and tidy this looks, this is mine when I got it: Looks a little different now but I've still got the original wheels which are in need of a refurb

Yours is very nice I just stumbled upon it tonight! Yours is unique as its an e39a RS with 4ws, which means it retains the 3.545 rear end gearing and 3-bolt axle shafts of the earlier models as opposed to the e38a RS of the same era which received the close ratio box, 3.909 gearing and 4-bolt axles. Some more info here philsparts.co.nz/vr4

That's a great link, although I'm a little lost where mine fits on that page as the only e39a RS with 4WS reference is for the rally cars.

The majority of RS models sold to the public were the E38A without 4WS but a few E39A 4WS RS models were sold too.
