hey guys im desperate to get a RB20E not DE! rocker cover gasket off the r33 skyline can anyone tell me where i can getone from or a partnumber?

Exactly the same as RB30E type (VL Commode, R31 Skyline). Any Repco, Burson's, Autobarn, etc will be able to help.

no! i have a rb30 gasket and its different its to thick for the rb20e r33 rocker cover the rb20e r32 and r31 cover is slightly different then the r33 rb20e so can anyone help me out???

In that case genuine is probably your only option. Take your VIN to your local Nissan dealer and they should be able to look up the PN and order it in for you. It will probably have to come from Japan.

Alternatively, see if an RB30 rocker cover will bolt on.

thats the problem im using the rb20e rocker cover on a rb30! so i dont have a VIN unless someone can help me out? please guys!

If I get the time I'll look it up tomorrow at work, but without a VIN it will be a case of use at your own risk.

A bit of advice - be clearer about exactly what your trying to do, it would have saved some time.

Well according to FAST the PN for the rocker cover gasket is:

13270-42L00

BUT....that's also the same PN for R31 and R32 RB20DE (I just checked).

very intresting? maybe just the rb30 rocker cover is different gasket to the rb20 but all rb20e gaskets must be the same from r31 to r33 u mentioned above that its the same part number for the r31 and r32 rb20DE? im looking for the rb20E not DE! single cam or was that just a mistype?

Sorry my mistake, I meant RB20E (not DE).

sweet so thats the part number from nissan! il grab one tommorow and let you know how i go, also do you know roughly the price?

I'd be surprised if any Nissan dealer held one in stock (but you never know your luck......). It will almost certainly have to be brought in from Japan. No idea on price.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
