being the idiot that i am i took my car in for servicing to the only place i could get it done in the time frame i had kmart tyre an auto !! of all places

anyway not thinking much of it i drove here there an everyware (about 100k) and noticed as i got home the oil pressure was very high when i turned it off i herd a poping sound after letting it cool down the oil was past the notch on the dipstick

now its tapping and sluggish after getting the level right

so i need to know : will overfulling oil destroy it or just do enough damage for it to eventually destroy itself?

:at the back of the rocker cover ive noitced fresh oil is this normal or is the person who told me it is an idiot?

:does anybody know a mechanic north of perth who knows what theyre on about ie a specialist ?

ANY advice / input is much apreciated :laugh:

has anyone had this happen to them?

how much over the full line was the oil? if it was only 2mm or so then that's fine. if you were to start the car, let it run for a few seconds and then turn it off and check the oil level you would find that it would probably be pretty close to spot on. it isn't until all the oil drains back out of the head that it will actually go above the line.

as for oil at the back of the rocker cover, it is common for them to leak from there. it may just be that you hadn't noticed it before hand.

the only thing to really worry about is the weight of the oil used. that is something you need to find out. too thin or too thick could cause issues. if the weight of the oil that they used is ok then any noise you are hearing may have absolutely nothing to do with what they have done and may be purely coincidence. hard to say unless you know all the facts.

as far as servicing a skyline goes, for things like an oil change they aren't any more special than any other car. as long as a good oil was used and it's the right sort of weight then it shouldn't really matter who you take it to.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
