Have a look above the manifold. It is extremely common for the rockers to leak.

^^^this is where it will be coming from, replace both rocker cover gaskets including the half moon seals and that will fix it

I was going to sugest your oil drain line from your turbo.

Give it a good clean with degreaser and a high pressure hose, get it as clean as you can.

Then start having a look and see were it is coming from.

Could be the gasket has poped, or a bolt isn't tight enough and the prssure is casuing it to come out when the engine is running.

yeah thats what i first thought so i replaced the gasket, degreased the shit out of it and lay under the car with it running and i could see oil slowly bubbling out from one of the bolts that goes through the turbo core into the compressor housing. I couldnt get a socket or spanner up there to tighten the bastard up tho. Also seems to be leaking from above the manifold at the back some where. The joys of a 23yr old rb20det i guess

i got this problem also have you done a 100k service on the car yet, its a O ring seal that needs to be replaced which gets replaced when you do a 100k service, most ppl know the name of this seal but i forgot it hope some one can elaborate on that

yea thats it the cam and crank shaft seals should be replaced with that 200k service but its also called 100k , which water pump crank and cam pully and seals along with the belts should get changed on that service if it hasnt been done then take it back to ppl and say you didint do the right job and get them to do it,

other than that get a water pressure test to see if it is headgasket, i did on mien and was all good, and a cylinder compression test which i going to do that next

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
