Hey biatches !

My rocker cover gasket leak has finally gotten to the stage where it is leaking onto the manifold so I had better do something about it.

Question: Where can I got one from to suit RB20DET? Should I gen nissan or will another one suffice ?

Thanks. :)

yeah and u will probally be better off replacing both gaskets, meaning both rocker covers, cos if one is gone i'm sure the other is on its way too. dam i didn't think there were 40...

dude do it urself and save the cash, just disconnect all that top L bend inlet crap, undo all those screws/bolts and pop the thing off. clean it up, put new gaskets in the groove that it sits in and put all back together. There is a particular order to put those bolts back in to ensure its evenly done up, was in the skyline workshop manual if remember correctly.

Hopefully these 2 images make sense. Its of my VIN of when my car used to be a RB20DE, and i'm sure its the same with RB20DET.

PS: Just found my reciept, and confirming i only needed 20 rubber washers.

gaskets were 29.57 each and washers 42.80 all up plus 10.19 tax coming to 112.15 in total from garry rogers nissan in glen waverley. Also those part numbers mentioned on that FAST screenshot are same with on the reciept.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
