So here's some better pics, it's been ages since I had my last turbo car and this just doesn't seem right to me so thought I'd get some opinions.. im aware the bov is atmospheric I'll be changing it to plumb back one before it gets regoed.. also im unsure if the boost T is legal on qld streets so if anyone else picks up on things I gotta change plz let me kno...the charcoal can has been removed from previous owner guessing I'll have to source one for roadworthy purposes.. any help is greatly appreciated thanx

Vacuum line help Can anyone tell me if this is correct or not, it's how it was done when I bought the car the manifold section in the manual doesn't help me much either...i have a manual boost T and aftermarket boost gauge . Cheers

Ok well I musta don't be something wrong I googled it b4 I posted that and it didn't show anything...apparently they are ACL forged pistons, happy as

Standard pistons or not??? Are these standard pistons? Any info would be appreciated thanx

Yea owell shit happens lol it wasnt very hot had the thermos running from the moment i started it as they run of a toggle switch...and it pushed out a heap of frothy water when i took the cap off n was a decent amount of pressure behind it...its a shame but at leaste i kno what the issue is and i can fix it all myself... thanx a bunch for the input guys look forward to being part of the skyline community ??

K so i put it all back together today filled radiator with jus water it started perfectly fine and nothing out of the ordonary drove it out the back yard n reversed it back to the carport area... opened up the radiator cap and it had heaps of pressure in t and really frothy.... turned it straight off n dropped a few F bombs lol head gasket is deffs gone the exhaust had shit coming out clear fluid no smoke that i could see... already priced head gasket n gates racing belt kit through kudos motorsport ill jus have to bite the bullet n do it

Ahk lol yea I get what u mean I've done it to a few cars before jus never heard of it being called a tk test lol in saying that I've been away from cars for a fair few yrs due to loss of license ..only got it back like a month ago...thanx for the help mate..pretty sure I have one of those test kits laying around my shed somewhere..lent my compression tester out n never saw it again so I'll invest in a new one of those aswell, I'm doubting it being blown head gasket only bcoz of how good the car ran most seem to struggle under load etc that I've dealt with anyhow..hoping it's that heat exchanger thing I've got the timing belt off but I'll put it back together n get rid of the heat exchanger n c how it goes after tests. so I'll need to run a rb30 oil filter with this adaptor once I remove the heat exchange?

Wat do u mean by a tk test?

Yes the motor was warm....tk test? As in the gases in radiator?...thanx for the advise guys it's muchly appreciated

Thank you for the reply mate I didn't kno that......any idea on a price to replace that? The radiator had pressure aswell wasn't bubbling jus popped when removing the cap not sure if it's normal for this motor and or turbo motors.. cheers

I meant Rb motor....also have noticed it has arp head studs in it those are re-usable to my knowledge can anyone elaborate? Is this correct or do I need to buy new ones? Cheers

Blown head gasket ? Hey guys n gals, so I've just purchased my first non holden car at the ripe age of 27...got a r33 turbo has a few decent mods ..exhaust, coilovers turbo timer, fmic few other bits n peices, ran perfectly fine but noticed the oil is milky so it's time to remove the head n replace the gasket n timing belt... any tips n tricks that can be thrown my way would be muchly appreciated I've done many head gaskets before jus never worked on a skyline before, only Rv motor I've touched was my old vl Calais turbo I had about 6 yrs ago...cheers
