i was actually thinkin if doing a major service including timing belt and all the ones u mentioned but im just out of pocket at the moment.....my family friend actually works for atarmon nissan and he gets stuff like spark plugs, timing belts and other genral stuff at discounted prices....so i might just do a major service.....

Cheers Prakesh,

Ok...I suppose it would be faster for me to tell u what oil filter to use rather than telling you that it's the wrong Forum.........no offence SEWID.

I did my oil last nite.

Used Cooper (blue part No. 1010) Z145A@ $9.00

Helix Ultra Shell @$49.95

Nulon E20 (super slippery) additive @ $12.95 (I've always used this stuff)

If that part helps!!!??

Mark.

Yeah, i can't stand the idiots that winge when a topic is rediscussed. It's not like in a personal conversation you go to someone "oh, no - we can't talk about this again because it's been discussed before" isn't the idea of further discussion to bring out new ideas that perhaps older threads might not have covered? Remember there are lot's of new users everyday with something to contribute that we might not know!! :)

Hey yeah why dont we all just post a bunch of crap and clutter up the main forums when the answers are already here all you have to do is search?

And why do we even bother having a maintenance forum which is specifically for the discussion of maintaining the skyline when you arent going to use it???

In my opinion if you want to take part in the forums you could at least show a little ettiquete and post in the right place and avoid wasting bandwidth with repeated questions. Then if someone posts some pointers on where to find the information you need, maybe you should take note of the advice and look there.

Honestly you people who think the internet and forums such as this are here to serve you and answer all your questions without you putting in the slightest bit of effort REALLY annoy me.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
