Hey guys have a bit of a problem with my R33 skyline.

seems to be leaking a bit of oil from the seal at the back of the oil filter sandwich which i was told by the previous owner it had a leak and which he had put a bit of gasket glue from dripping down but as soon as i done the oil filter change it got worse and dnt no why.

have no time to take it mechanics and really dont wanna risk driving it as oil is coming out.

any ideas of a quick fix as in gasket glue or anything to have it sealed thats good or how i can get a new seal from where and that ?

any help would be great.

i had a look at the old oil filter and that black seal was still on there plus ive gotten underneath the car and had a look to see where it is coming from and its coming from the around the sandwich seal were it goes all round.

Ive had a look carefully from the top and have seen nothing of any oil coming from the oil filter seal around there.

would alot of oil come out if it was the sandwich seal cause there was a bit of oil coming out atleast a cup full if left on idling for 10min or so.

if u mean a sandwich plate for say a pressure or temp gauge or for oil cooler then the oring between the plate and the filter houseing could be stuffed, remove & check and match up some orings for it if the origional is no good & see how it goes

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
