Hi Guys,

Looking at buying a 96 Series 2 R33 GTST with 155,000klm on it. Looks very clean with minimal but nice mods, exhaust, r34 cooler, etc.

The only problems with the car needs a rocker cover gasket replaced (small leak), carbon canister hooked back up and rear washer jet needs replaced for RWC.

Should i stay away from this car or are these things normal wear and tear on a skyline ??

What would the costs be involved in fixing all of the above ?

Ive tried to do research and i think Rocker Cover Gasket should be around $200 fitted, carbon canister is just hoses so not much there and rear washer jet i can find in a wreckers cheap i reckon.

anyway if anybody could help that would be much appreciated.

Cheers Paul

If they are the only problems you havent got much to worry about. Not that you do have anything to worry about when buying a skyline.

I replaced my rocker cover gasket and the parts cost me $72 including the bolt seals and cam seals. You may even get away with just tightening the bolts; the ones closest to the exhaust seem to get looser than the ones on the inlet side.

It also cost me a bit of my time, prob a couple of hours.

Btw my skyline is for sale, but its a series 1 1994 model if your intersted.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
