Can't find a good mechanic in Adelaide to replace the main rear seal. Nissan dealer is fully booked for a next few months. The engine needs to be suspended, removal of the gear box and the oil pan to get into it (probably starter as well) and place a new gasket proper, tricky. Anyone knows a good trustworthy place where it can be done?

 

Many thanks

French??  Is there anything French on these??

Anyway, I hope you are doing more than just the rear main, you will also want the 2 seals number 11121 and 11121+A as well as dropping and re-sealing the whole upper sump (assuming that is what you are doing anyway).  Definitely not a job you want to skimp on, nothing worse than chasing new oil leaks because of something you disturbed but didn't replace in the process.

These come from the era where the Nissan-Renault tie up was not doing Nissan product any favours. Started in 1999 and has made almost every Nissan since then a French influenced turd, compared to what it might have been if the insanity of the 80s and 90s had been allowed to continue (assuming that it could continue without Nissan going broke, of course).

That might be a bit harsh.  I have had a late 80s R series skyline, a mid 90s maxima, wife had a mid 00s maxima, I had a mid 00s V35 and now a Q50.  They have been an improvement each time.  I would t go back to any given the chance..

 

I would agree, the Renault alliance didn’t do Nissan any favours, beside saving them from bankruptcy..  but Renault didn’t really have that much influence on Nissan vehicles they weren’t co-developing.

It's way off topic by now, but I have to agree the quality of engineering went way down hill. The level of additional power  you can make without breaking things and the general reliability under heavy use like racing of the standard parts in R chassis is very unusual.

But it did have to change, Nissan was loosing money on every car they made which is never going to last

It's been 10 years man, they removed Ghosn. Get over it :P

Didn't they remove him in a violin case (#yesitreallyhappened)

Anyway, those cars look nothing alike, one is white and one is silver.

It is nissan who keep copying camrys.

Haha love this conversation.

holden and Toyota shared models,

Commodore/Lexon

Camry/Apolo

Daiwoo was owned by Holden

Hyundai was Nissan (I think)

Kia is owned by Ford who also own Mazda

BMW owns VW and a few other too I think.

 Nissan and Renault are apparently one of the same.

    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
    • Legitimately thought it was a stagea as all i could see at first was the headlights.
