Well I took the car to my brothers work shop on the weekend.

Replaced the sparkplugs with some platinum ones set the gaps to .8.

Upon starting the motor there was a miss.

My brother insisted on giving it a boot full thinking that this would clear the problem up :P

Turns out one of the coils was not fully pushed in place, and that fixed the miss.

During this time a rattle at idle revs was noticed coming form the Timing belt cover.

A quick look showed the belt was loose and had not been replaced (not that I expected it to be)

The cars has 46thou on the clock if that's to be believed............not.

So I want to get the belt replaced.

Any one in Brisbane recommend any one?

How much?

Might as well do the water pump at the same time.

Would it be better to pick the parts up from Nissan myself, then have some one else fit it.

How long does it take as I need to work my job around it :D

I can recommend two workshops that I have had experience with who could do this and know skylines quite well.

Mark at drive car does good work and has good prices and is also close to the city.

Autotech a bit more pricey but also very good with skylines, but they are in labrador so a bit more out of the way if you are in Brisbane.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
