Based only on those photos, I'd say its just a rocker cover gasket leak, and/or half moon seal leak.

Not a big deal to replace if thats all it is. New seals from Mr Nissan, a tiny bit of blue silicone for the 1/2 moons, and about 30-40 mins of work.

yeah that is just the factory optioned leaking rocker cover seals. easy fix. you will also find that on a lot of r33s they also chose the optional leaking power steering resevoir as well.

+1 to rocker cover gaskets, mine leaked when I bought it as well.

Owned for 2 years like that & had no problems (didn't really know much about cars at the time & was a noob), I finally got them changed & had no more oil stains around that area again.

you will also find that on a lot of r33s they also chose the optional leaking power steering reservoir as well.

Mine had the optional PS leak.

Do they actually leaking from the hoses themselves or the joints? When I took my air intake snorkel thing out I noticed a fair bit of PS fluid had dripped onto of my A/C compressor. I tightened the bolts up & it seem to have stopped it, however the PS hose & where it joints to other parts of the engine is still oily.

lol yup. both of these. my PS is leaky yet, but i am getting a bit of that build up at the back. replace the seals its not too hard. dont just tighten the screws, it may look like it helped....but most of the time just makes the leak worse.

Both my R33's had the same shit going on. Only the teeniest bit of oil ever came out, I just couldn't justify fixing it lol. Also both my skylines have the leaking resevoir. I have NO f**king idea where the fluid is going but its on the hose and its dripping. No matter what I tighten up it doesn't stop.

      Looking for parts for 2003 V35. Specifically a working OEM stereo and passenger side window motor.

      Thanks to @V35_Paul there is an oem stereo available on gumtree, but the fascia is slightly different. It has a flip up screen as opposed to my pop up screen. Am I able to disconnect the radio/cd player from the fascia to use it on mine?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Had to google what a quart is lol.. so rough as guts a litre. That's a bit excessive, also what oil weight are you running? The whole steam cleaning idea isn't too far fetched either. Maybe as you suggested, turn off the WMI (assuming your Kebabtech pulls timing, boost, etc.) and run it for a bit and see if there are any noticeable changes in spark plug colouring.

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?

      OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.

      RB gearbox options

      Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset.
