cheers mate

Ah, if thats what you're referring to then mine did too. its all one gasket, as you can see in the pics above.

I don't remember seeing any half moons aside from the raised half circle part of the gasket itself... I'm not too familiar with mechanics in general but I know enough to get me by, so it's likely that I missed this. Can you give me any photos of what you're referring to?

My vin doesnt have R33 in it anywhere? it's 6T91MPAAARYEYB004 Which bit do I use?

It's all supply and demand. In eastern states its high supply (More people wanting to sell) and low demand (less people wanting to buy). Here it's different. Our market prices seem to have been falling lately though! bought my good condition series 1 r33 with all sorts of mods and 187rwkw for $13500 in late july - nothing wrong with it at all. and the invisible bike pic is vanges signature hehe: http://www.adelaidetoday.com/images/vangep...ible%20bike.jpg

Rocker cover gasket change in a series 1 R33 GTS-T (RB25DET): Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk! I accept not responsibility for injury or damage to any part of the engine or otherwise as a result of following this guide. For Torque specs and other specific instructions, see the bottom of this post. What you will definitely need: New gasket(s) from nissan New rear cam-shaft seal(s) from nissan Gasket goo Large phillips-head screwdriver Medium phillips-head screwdriver Spanner set Socket set Allan key set Around an hour - more if it's your first time. What you don't need but should probably use: Carby cleaner Relatively clean rags/towels Throttle body gasket 1. Go to Nissan and purchase the rocker cover gasket(s) you require. This guide goes through the process of replacing both. Part numbers for RB25DET: LEFT (exhaust side) gasket: 13270-58S01 RIGHT (inlet side) gasket: 13270-58S11 (Consult your nissan dealer to be SURE of this. I am fairly confident that I have left & right correct. I bought both for $72.05.) 'Half moon' Cam gear seals: 11051-58S00 2. Pop the bonnet. 3. Remove the crossover pipe. There are a number of things that you must disconnect/unscrew to fully remove the crossover pipe and associated bits and pieces. These are highlighted in red on the image below. It would be worthwhile putting a clean cloth in either end of the crossover now that it is removed, and also in the throttle body to prevent any unwanted debris entering the engine. 4. Now remove the two hoses on the rocker cover breather: Mine split when removing as they are very stiff hoses. I will need to get new ones from Nissan and I will update this with part numbers when I do. 5. Remove the coilpack cover. Disconnect the two connectors highlighted in red below, and then use the appropriate Allan key to remove the 8 screws holding the coilpack cover to the rocker covers (highlighted in blue) 6. Unscrew the left rocker cover Take particular note on how tightly these screws are done up: NOT VERY TIGHTLY AT ALL. Remember not to do them up very tight when you put the cover back on. just to the point where u can see the rubber washer undergo a bit of pressure. Torque specs are at the bottom of this post. Also, on some screws the rubber grommet will also come out with the screw, on others it will not. Do not lose these grommets! Be very careful not to let any dirt or other crap into the engine, or into the rocker cover. The 10 screws are highlighted on the image below (right hand side not visible) Removing the rocker cover will now expose your camshaft: 7. Remove the old gasket from the rocker cover, and replace with the new one. Use gasket goo or sealant on the raised half circle on the front side of the cover, highlighted below: While I had the cover off, I cleaned the outside with Carby cleaner, being extra careful not to get any inside the cover. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to gently lift the old half-moon rubber from the back of the rocker assembly (highlighted in red below). Coat all outside edges of the new half-moon with gasket goo, and then reinsert it. 8. Replace the left rocker cover by replacing the screws Remember, not too tight at all. The process for removing the right cover is slightly different: 9. Remove the screws on the right of the cover. Note that there is also smaller screws that need to be removed, that are currently supporting the wires: Either that or unfold the support and remove the wires. I did it the hard way. 10. Remove the screws on the left of the cover. Removing the screws on the left of the cover is more tricky. If you have an angled screwdriver, go for it right now! If not (I didn't) you will need to unbolt the throttle body assembly. There are 4 bolts you need to undo. well, actually two nuts on the top, and two bolts below. The top two nuts can be done with a spanner. Use sockets for the bottom bolts, as if you use a spanner you will need to remove the Throttle Position Sensor. Once the TB is unbolted, unhook the throttle cable from it's position and carefully lift the TB out of the way, allowing you access to the rocker cover screw beneath. The gasket may break in this step, so it would be handy to replace it while you are doing this. I didn't have to, but probably should have Throttle body and throttle cable (red) and TPS (blue): The top screw is tricky, but just involves holding a lot of stuff out of the way to get to it. Magnetic screwdrivers work well here. 11. Repeat steps 7 & 8 for this side, and then perform steps 10, 5, 4 & 3 in reverse order. If putting the allan key screws back on the coilpack cover is proving difficult, try tightening the inner screws of both rocker covers just a little to bring them closer together. Make sure everything that was disconnected is now properly reconnected, and all hose clamps are tight. And you're done: 12. Start 'er up! An abridged (but specific) guide from a workshop manual is as follows: Hope this helps

Haha figured out what it was. Rubber thing from inside the connector of the TPS.

Thanks heaps for the software Howie! it's all installed now, but... how do I use it?

Hey all, just replaced my rocker cover gaskets on an RB25DET from a '94 R33 gts-t After replacing everything exactly as i found it, I turned the car over and all seems well. However, I took a look underneath the car, and I found a little rubber piece! any idea where this goes, what it does, or whether it's important? I don't remember seeing it when I changed the gaskets! Now I don't want to drive the car until I know what it is... Help!

I thought that method was designed to "re-bed" the synchros. With the clutch pedal DISengaged, and the car at standstill, rev the enging to around 2000 and hold it there. Then pushthe gear knob down to fourth. It won't slip in. I vaguely remember hearing something about doing it 20 times for 5 seconds, or 5 times for 20 seconds, but I cant remember which. Disclaimer: You didn't hear this from me...

saw two white series 2 r33's southbound on anzac at around 5:30 today, gunmetal 33 (series 1?) with darker rims, no wing, northbound on anzac at the same time. Saw a white R34 GTT with GTR rims in u-park with an SCS sticker. I drooled! Also saw vange on rundle street (but nobody cares because we all see him everywhere )

Matty, I havent spotted you recently, but I'm pretty sure I've met you before! I was at your house (might have been your friends house) with Stevie from r31skylineclub.com when you took your car around the block for the first time since the rb20det swap. Was that you? or am I completely mistaken haha

i passed the word on to robski vange also, your avatar made me seriously "lol"! hahahahahahaha

Add me to the confirmed list. I'll be there.

This is why oil companies and the US government never backed the electric car, but have embraced the hydrogen fuel cell: They can provide an "environmentally friendly alternative" but still warrant charging and taxing an arm and a leg for fuel.

those oh boy plates used to be on an orange s13. I see the s1580 around now occasionally too

SOLD! Anybody still want stock parts, call me. 0412002964. Mods please close.

I'll definitely come and say hi guys, but I'm entering with www.rpmlounge.com.au See you all either there or the photoshoot

Since we were talking about 4 dr 33 GTRs: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-Skyline-R33-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Hehe, I was walking with my sister and my gf as you drove off. I thought you might have noticed me eyeing your car Also seen it in the city a few times on or near pulteney street.

Spotted wine red RBB 033 (i think) down at the bay last night. Nice car. Love stealth lips I've got one sitting at home waiting to go on

I'll take one for sure! cheers
