+1 to rocker cover gaskets, mine leaked when I bought it as well.

Owned for 2 years like that & had no problems (didn't really know much about cars at the time & was a noob), I finally got them changed & had no more oil stains around that area again.

you will also find that on a lot of r33s they also chose the optional leaking power steering reservoir as well.

Mine had the optional PS leak.

Do they actually leaking from the hoses themselves or the joints? When I took my air intake snorkel thing out I noticed a fair bit of PS fluid had dripped onto of my A/C compressor. I tightened the bolts up & it seem to have stopped it, however the PS hose & where it joints to other parts of the engine is still oily.

lol yup. both of these. my PS is leaky yet, but i am getting a bit of that build up at the back. replace the seals its not too hard. dont just tighten the screws, it may look like it helped....but most of the time just makes the leak worse.

Both my R33's had the same shit going on. Only the teeniest bit of oil ever came out, I just couldn't justify fixing it lol. Also both my skylines have the leaking resevoir. I have NO f**king idea where the fluid is going but its on the hose and its dripping. No matter what I tighten up it doesn't stop.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
