It's engine oil black, Yea might be the best bet the rocker covers i think or cam cover is leaking abit though i noticed..

Hey guys, Just a quick question Ive been finding oil in my drive way as of late and im not mechanically minded but is this a rear main seal leak??

Apparently the original mechanic that worked on my car was meant to re-tension the belt when i had the gates kit installed to begin with and didn't... The main mechanic "owner" said he had to redo the kit and tighten it as it was loose which is what was making the noise.. This is what i was told..

White R34 sedan with kit and wheels cruising down the street past Horizon petrol station in Traralgon at about 730 tonight gave a wave

*Just a update* on this guys, Had it checked again and the noise was the Timing belt which was actually loose.. and needed to be re-tensioned so all good now, cheer's

Yea im thinking that to should of got nissan ... im thinking its kinda overkill for street use gates... yea they sourced and recommended the gates timing belt kit they go through justjap i think.. as it was stronger etc I always pay for a professional to install and source everything as im mechanically stupid in most area's lol... short of a oil change etc

Besides the noise it does on idle on a cold start ... would it get much worse before that would happen or would it just suddenly happen? I had the entire gates kit done doesn't that include new idler's etc?? paid 400 bucks be damned if it was just the belt they replaced... regardless mechanic would be at fault anyways since they installed the kit and did the timing etc??

Yep was a gate's racing belt kit, if the idler gives away what will happen lol? Just not crank over or will it actually damage the engine on failure? If its just a noise i wont worry about it ... Was all done professionally so its all under warranty etc ill just blast the mechanic and they can cop the bill.

Yea mine has been making this noise ever since the timing belt was done but i had a entire kit installed bearings belt everything changed professionally now it makes this noise on a cold start and goes away once it's warmed up... What's the worst case scenario is it something that should be fixed asap or??

How about Front: 17x8 Inch +47 Offset Rear: 17x9 Inch +47 Offset Any issues there with fitment on a r33?

cool what can i do to make them look "less weak"

Thinking about getting some works with Front: 17x8 Inch +36 Offset Rear: 17x9 +36 Offset Would i have any issues fitting these to a r33 gtst with stock suspension?

I had this issue ended up being the spark plugs which i replaced and re- gapped but yea could be coil packs aswell

Yea i felt it in taralgon for a good 15 secs was in the car at the time at the traffic lights, kept feeling like my car was pushing forward freaked the hell outta me lol

i barely noticed lag with my blitz fmic (but i did notice it regardless and didn't care because i always wanted a fmic when i had it done it was the 2nd mod i had done (from stock) at the time, but i was advised to get one due to i was upping the boost from stock and a fmic would be recommended to avoid risk of detonation and increase power gain etc .. (was told) i think its a must have if your planning on running more boost (regardless if turbo is stock) but that's my opinion meh I had a dodgy 02 at one stage which made my car run rich as all hell , wont damage the car just might run like a dog and use a heap of fuel something you want to replace as soon as you can regardless though. If the plugs are that damaged even get a hold of some plugs from the wreckers and rewire it

Do the series 2 taillights for a r33 sedan fit the series 1 aswell?

Yea i do agree with above with the lag comment, r34 gtt smic is a nice upgrade over stock aswell if ur not going for to much power oh and in regards to fmic when if you do eventually get one i personally went with a blitz se (return flow) i have the same front bar as you on my sedan , the front lights (fog lights) in the bar next to the indicator had to be removed as there wasn't enough space (back part which held the globe) though the indicators were fine and some cutting work was involved.

Easy just use a long nose set of pliers and a torch and twist the plastic end (i removed the plug first), had to take out the washer jet bottle on the drivers side to get in easier and the top off the stock air box that was it (s1 gtst) Changing parkers for led's

I had this fear when buying mine had high k's (though i always thought 300,000 was high lol , it had (184,000ks stock as rock) But its not the age but more the way it has been treated i was lucky to get mine off a old couple which were the original owners since being imported hence it being a (4 door r33 ) found they were less molested in most cases. But since then ive modded the 1st stage bolt ons being the FMIC,Turbo back exhaust,apexi panel,boost controller etc, Did the major service timing belt, harmonic balancer, basically looked after it with regular service etc and hasn't missed a beat.. I mean i use mine as a daily but like what has been said if ur not planning on using it a track car etc i wouldn't bother going and rebuilding or replacing a working engine, mine is currently at 274,000ks with stock turbo, and besides the mods all ive ever replaced has been the timing belt and balancer and belts ... basic major service .. If your really worried about the life of the engine just get a compression test
