Hi forum.. :wave:

I just joined up to get extra informaiton about skylines as i want to buy a skyline 96 or 97 model. r33 i guess

I just have to questions:

Why did nissan stop its skyline models after 1999?? than it made a another model in 2003 than it stopped again. i am not sure plz correct me if i am wrong.

If models are stopped that means parts would be hard to get in two years time?

is it easy to get parts for skylines in Queensland??

Only thing worries me is the parts for skylines, if u can't get it straight away it will sit in workshop for ages.

Please reply back and give me some advice.

Cheers

Ranjha :sorcerer:

If you have just joined, start searching you will find that you seek here. if nothing then ask questions The ease of getting parts is limited by time and money. Time to search money to buy.

That is irrelevant question just because they stop making the model doesnt mean the parts stop, companies alike are still making parts suitable for r33's and r32s easy to get parts as well, check out those sites that have these parts in store to see for yourself. at the end of the day money is your limiting factor, if you cannot afford do not get thats simple.

skylines are money pits if you want them to be money pits. GTR's are more expensive for a reason, check out the differences between gtr's and gtst's you shall find these in the search function of this forum.

holden parts? more to the fact that holden use some nissan parts, parts and numbers will and can be accessible via the search function.

Skylines are not expensive to maintain if you purchase a good one at the start, get a trusted mechanic to go over it and do all the coresponding enging checks (eg, leakdown test, compression test ect...) as engine rebuilds are about $5k for a reasonable build. I got mine checked and it has run like a dream for 2 years now, the only time it was off the road was my fault :) . Also if you are chasing second hand parts there are lots of them going in the for sale section on SAU there is also a wanted section so you can post there and get parts that way. If you would like any more information give me a PM and I will point you in the right direction, but try a search first as just about everything you could need is on here somewhere.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
