Ive never owned a skyline until last week, and never worked on one till tonight.

Going to change the exhaust manifold gasket as its leaking, where abouts can I buy this part in melbourne? I would like to pick it up tomorrow if possible.

Also while im changing the gasket should there be anything else I should change/check out?

Also is it straight forward? Just unbolt everything remove old gasket/clean up put new one back on? No special tools or methods etc?

Thanks.

Hey mate, im from sydney but all my gaskets i get from nissian genuine parts and they seem to ship them up from melbourne so i would hit up nissian genuine parts just look for a dealer near by you with a parts section? There about $100+ dollars not cheap (cant remember exactly $$$) While your there u can change the exhaust studs aswell there cheap about $2 each. Just give the head and mani a good clean before you put it together and then just inspect and clean up. What model/motor.

R33, RB25DET... will make some calls today, hope they have it in stock so I can get this car running tonight....

How many studs do I need and what size (rang up bursons and they need to know the size)

Bursons are no help for anything imported, just get them from nissan they will be able to look up the part you need.

from nissan for a stock one or STATUS sell the veer metal gaskets... i have one in my car :/

if your replacing it anyway, might as well upgrade it

Last time i was at status they didnt have an exhaust manifold gasket.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
