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.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
