Hey guys have a bit of a problem with my R33 skyline.

seems to be leaking a bit of oil from the seal at the back of the oil filter sandwich which i was told by the previous owner it had a leak and which he had put a bit of gasket glue from dripping down but as soon as i done the oil filter change it got worse and dnt no why.

have no time to take it mechanics and really dont wanna risk driving it as oil is coming out.

any ideas of a quick fix as in gasket glue or anything to have it sealed thats good or how i can get a new seal from where and that ?

any help would be great.

i had a look at the old oil filter and that black seal was still on there plus ive gotten underneath the car and had a look to see where it is coming from and its coming from the around the sandwich seal were it goes all round.

Ive had a look carefully from the top and have seen nothing of any oil coming from the oil filter seal around there.

would alot of oil come out if it was the sandwich seal cause there was a bit of oil coming out atleast a cup full if left on idling for 10min or so.

if u mean a sandwich plate for say a pressure or temp gauge or for oil cooler then the oring between the plate and the filter houseing could be stuffed, remove & check and match up some orings for it if the origional is no good & see how it goes

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
