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

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.

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

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!.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
