Hi Guys,

Looking at buying a 96 Series 2 R33 GTST with 155,000klm on it. Looks very clean with minimal but nice mods, exhaust, r34 cooler, etc.

The only problems with the car needs a rocker cover gasket replaced (small leak), carbon canister hooked back up and rear washer jet needs replaced for RWC.

Should i stay away from this car or are these things normal wear and tear on a skyline ??

What would the costs be involved in fixing all of the above ?

Ive tried to do research and i think Rocker Cover Gasket should be around $200 fitted, carbon canister is just hoses so not much there and rear washer jet i can find in a wreckers cheap i reckon.

anyway if anybody could help that would be much appreciated.

Cheers Paul

If they are the only problems you havent got much to worry about. Not that you do have anything to worry about when buying a skyline.

I replaced my rocker cover gasket and the parts cost me $72 including the bolt seals and cam seals. You may even get away with just tightening the bolts; the ones closest to the exhaust seem to get looser than the ones on the inlet side.

It also cost me a bit of my time, prob a couple of hours.

Btw my skyline is for sale, but its a series 1 1994 model if your intersted.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
