Hi forum.. :wave:

I just joined up to get extra informaiton about skylines as i want to buy a skyline 96 or 97 model. r33 i guess

I just have to questions:

Why did nissan stop its skyline models after 1999?? than it made a another model in 2003 than it stopped again. i am not sure plz correct me if i am wrong.

If models are stopped that means parts would be hard to get in two years time?

is it easy to get parts for skylines in Queensland??

Only thing worries me is the parts for skylines, if u can't get it straight away it will sit in workshop for ages.

Please reply back and give me some advice.

Cheers

Ranjha :sorcerer:

If you have just joined, start searching you will find that you seek here. if nothing then ask questions The ease of getting parts is limited by time and money. Time to search money to buy.

That is irrelevant question just because they stop making the model doesnt mean the parts stop, companies alike are still making parts suitable for r33's and r32s easy to get parts as well, check out those sites that have these parts in store to see for yourself. at the end of the day money is your limiting factor, if you cannot afford do not get thats simple.

skylines are money pits if you want them to be money pits. GTR's are more expensive for a reason, check out the differences between gtr's and gtst's you shall find these in the search function of this forum.

holden parts? more to the fact that holden use some nissan parts, parts and numbers will and can be accessible via the search function.

Skylines are not expensive to maintain if you purchase a good one at the start, get a trusted mechanic to go over it and do all the coresponding enging checks (eg, leakdown test, compression test ect...) as engine rebuilds are about $5k for a reasonable build. I got mine checked and it has run like a dream for 2 years now, the only time it was off the road was my fault :) . Also if you are chasing second hand parts there are lots of them going in the for sale section on SAU there is also a wanted section so you can post there and get parts that way. If you would like any more information give me a PM and I will point you in the right direction, but try a search first as just about everything you could need is on here somewhere.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
