Nissan Skyline 1989 FAQs

High skyline

THE R31 Skyline is robust and generally reliable once you've become used to the howling diff. I'd suggest you test for leaks from cylinder to cylinder and from each cylinder to the water jacket. It could be a head gasket leak.

Fuels rush in

THERE is a lot of information about the effect of ethanol blend fuels on engines, but don't expect carmakers to come out and say their engines will run on it. Think about it. Your car is 20 years old and never developed for ethanol, so Nissan has no info on what might happen. As a result they will never tell you it can run on ethanol because that leaves them open to litigation if it turns out there is a problem. Ultimately it comes down to the concentration of ethanol in the blend, and most blends on sale now are 10 per cent, which won't cause any problems. The higher the percentage, the greater the chance of having problems with fuel system hoses, seals, pumps et cetera.

Check out the axle

THE Skyline is a good car that has few faults, apart from a spate of noisy rear axles in the early days. Listen for rear-axle whine and walk away from any car that has that. Other problems from old age and high mileage include oil smoke, rattling engines, notchy gearboxes and rust.
