yes.. there are many ways to do it... Some part numbers are shared however, so that would need to be noted.

I think the FAQ is a great idea too .. will require some research.. and time to massage into a comprehensive resource, but when its there, will take out much of the traffic and frustration out of the forum. The same things get asked over and over, and are all available in older threads. It just takes somebody to traul through and decipher all the crud out.. and you have a great resource.

Since I thought of the idea about 50 questions have already popped into my head that could be answered in a short paragraph each.. You'd break it down into sections so you'd have "classic skylines", R31, R32, R33, Stagea, etc and as much "need" to know information as you fit in each. Like "what is the difference between the 4 door R33 and 2 door R33?", "what is required to fit an RB26dett into a RWD?".. you could even have a parts locator service (names numbers in each state).. man the list goes on!

Hey guys you'll be very happy to know that i am just about to receive a cd that has shit loads of part numbers on it for most skyline models. I'm having difficulty getting hold of the guy who is supposed to copy it for me but when i get it off him I'll share the wealth with you guys.

Personally I'd like it to be what the heading states: Parts Number Section.

If we start going the DIY turn your r33gtst into a GTR I think it will get pretty complicated! Opinions will most probably differ - I doubt there's that many people here that will end up doing such big conversions.

Maybe if people want this we can make a conversions section too?

My dad and I have installed rb20det's into two cars now - a vH commodore and a r31 skyline so we'd have something to add.

I was reading through the general maintenance section a couple of days ago and saw another bloke post some gtr part numbers. These will end up going to page two etc etc until you have to do a search through all the other threads to get what you want.

Anyway - that's my opinion - a part numbers section, with the guidelines predator posted-up - edit all the BS out.

Cheers

Anyone else have any opinions?

It'd be good to get this section underway - or is it just a silly idea??

Definately not a silly idea, would be rather helpful.

After much frustration, I have only found one person at Melb nissan spares to be helpful, polite, know what hes talking about and give correct info (rather than 'no we dont have it, it needs to be imported from JP').. that'd be 'nitton', nice guy.

Anyway.

I would agree with a sticky thread for each model.. either in general maintenance or a subforum??

Otherwise there can be a general sticky thread for people to add part numbers, and an.. (excel?) file to download for each model and someone can maintain them?

An excel file would probably be best.. and column(s) can be added to the likes of "can interchange with r32..- no" "r32gtr - yes" ... etc etc... make it quicker to search for parts also. BLAH BLAH.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.

      EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess

      Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
