hey guys i have a slow leak in my engine somewhere (i think somwhere in the rear of the engine) where the oil is leaking onto the gearbox. i thougth it was gear box oil but its engine oil. gave my mechanic a look at it and he said the rocker cover gasket needed to be replaced.

can someone tell me where to get one or the set it comes in in victoria?

if so please let me know asap!

thanks

sweet thanks dude. i'll keep that in mind btu yeh will be better if i can get it pretty muc h at a shop on the day but i'm kinda doubting it now!

i also heard of the rocker gaskets actually being rubber so they dont need to be replaced? and that you can just patch it up with gasket goop?

Rocker cover gaskets being replaced are pretty common on skylines.... most of them will do it at some point lol. I recall about $70-90 from a nissan parts place, but I could be wrong.

I got mine from about $20-30 for both (I think) from Imparts in WA. I think they're in Melbourne as well? Otherwise most parts places, or Nissan. Not too hard to find, really. Just make sure you do the rear half-moons. I forgot to do mine, and now they're leaking as well :D

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
