Maintenance is no big issue with any Skyline really.

As long as the oil and filter is changed regularly along with a normal service routine they will just run forever if treated well.

I ran synthetic oil in mine changed every 5000kms but 10,000km intervals is OK under normal conditions.

Good thing about Nissans is a lot of Parts are interchangeable to many other models. For instance an R33 power antenna is interchangeable with a Maxima one etc etc....makes sence to do it but a lot of manufacturers don't .

If you're after new parts see Steve at Northside Nissan parts.

He knows and loves Skylines (owns a 33) and is also happy to import any Nismo parts you want/can afford.

Do you have a mechanic you know and trust?

If not what part of Perth you from so someone can recommend a local

Cheers

Chris

Is the R33 skyline oil filter interchangable with Maxima as well?

I heard the front wheel bearings are interchangeable.

Seems like Maxima is the closest parts bin for skyline, I suppose due to the similar gross weight range and engine cylinders/capacity? But one is V6 3.0 and the other is I6 2.5

For oil filter good old R31 will fit.

Maxima would not be a likely donor for Skyline mechanical parts.

Although i think the wheels fit

One is a brilliant sports sedan the other is a...well a Maxima.

I only used that example to indicate that Nissan tries to keep a high level of part interchangability.

For another instance the Skyline has 300zx front suspension and 200sx rear so I'm told

How bout around Curtin, Bentley?

Wow are you sure the parts of Maxima similar?  

If that true so I wont' have any problem getting parts for it

Curtin, Bentley that's easy C-Red or SST they both know their stuff.

Talk to them.

Cheers

C-Red and SST , where can i find those 2 shops?

And I got a problem the head light cover (glass), I don't know how to describe it, It seems dirty and blurry , I'm thinking to get a new one but not the light just the cover. What is it called?

Heherheheheh I don't know the name

I did an oil change on sunday, used a VL commo oil filter from marlows, cost me $8.

Maxima mechanical parts are a no-no.

Im sure you can polish the headlight covers using some braso, cleans it up like new. To replace them will cost heaps.

So obviously they didn't fit new halogen headlights as they are supposed to do for compliancing the naughty boys.

Nevermind the Xeon ones are far superior.

For the details on C-Red and SST just look in the white pages we can't do it all for you.

i keep trying to tell ppl to use toothpaste on your headlights, hehehe, its something most ppl have already got in the house, so saves you having to go and buy something and it works real good too, mine were discusting then i used toothpaste and they came up brandnew. ;)

my 2c.

Ah Ic, how do u remove the cover by urself?

Where can I buy braso?

Arrrghhh! Is this a troll? We need these questions answered like I need a hole in the head.

eriktufa, if you arn't trolling (and don't ask "what is a troll?"), use the fcuking search button. Most of these topics have been discussed within the last 2 weeks!.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
