Just a quick couple of questions about some repairs that my Skyline could need, dont think they are too serious, just wanted some advice.

First off, my car is leaking something that smells like oil, but i checked the oil and coolant and everything and it is all perfect, so does anyone know what this could be?

Second, my passenger side is rather annoying, mostly the power window causing problems. First off, whoever did the sound system for the previous owner left a bunch of excess speaker cable in the door, and it wrapped itself around the window arm and i think it bent it, so now the window comes up and down crooked and slow, and the door needs to be open for the window to come up completely. So does anyone know how to get the door frame off so i can actually have a look at what is going on?

And does anyone know where i could get a new switch for the passenger window? I think the previous owner tried to fix the window and broke the rocker that sits on the switch to make the window go up and down, so now it can only be wound down and up from the drivers side.

your oil problem might be comming from ya manifolds or your zaust so make sure its all tight. i recomend using a degreaser 1st to see where it comming from.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
