  1. Hay trevvy nice looking r32 im on the coast with an r32 too cruises????
  2. Hay BENM i would definitely recommend u use gasket glue to fix the gaskets also make sure u replace both half moons at the same timeas replacing the gaskets. Bought both gaskets for the RB20 DET from nissan (genuine) costed me $35 each and so im thinking the RB25 DET would be of similar price. i couldn't find the gaskets aftermarket i called around or maybe i was calling the wrong people lol. The half moons costed $7 each genuine. If u can do it urself thumbs up but if u want to save a little and get it done by a mechanic go buy the parts urself. I HIGHLY recommend if u are thinking about getting it done by a mechanic that u CALL AROUND its amazing how the price varies. Ur main concern with the leaky gaskets is if u hammer around too much ur oil levels decrease dramatically from the leaks and i dont think we need to be told what happens to a turbo car with minimal oil. Also if the oil leaks on to the muffler piping it can catch on fire especially when leaking from the rear passenger side where the muffler piping runs. Also id like reply to the exhaust light coming on in the dash. The casue of this was the spark plugs are worn down and the car is running lean. This leads to an increase exhaust temperature. What my car needs is replacing all the spark plugs & a good tune. everyone will know if this is happening to them becuase the exhaust light comes on for about 5 - 10mins then turns off. This is becuase the car is running lean until it gets to optimal running temperature. this is what i have been told im no mechanic but i hope it helps anyone else
  3. I managed to find the time to look under my car today. it seems like there is another oil leak from the turbo region. The light in the dash is the exhaust temperature light, i asked an racq worker he said it could be that the catalytic converter may be blocked leading to the increased temperature in the exhaust fumes??
  4. Hay all, just bought an r32 about a month ago havent even looked at it properly yet been so busy but there is oil leaking from the rocket cover gasket. Im getting the gaskets fixed within the week but a warning light in the dash console worries me!!! this light came on when my oil was low and i sorta overfilled the engine with mobile 1 oopps. Can anyone tell me if that light is still indicating that something is wrong with the car, all other internals are fine (i.e. coolant). Also the car seems to idle down sometimes for reasons unknown to me. like it is barely running and then the car revs in to 1000rpm. I would really appreciate some help if possible. this is my first post and i have never had any problems with my previous skyline an r31. it was a neat car
