Now tell all the nice people how much a setup like this costs, and about the R34 GT-R you could have had for the same money if not cheaper.

Sorry buddy, but I've crunched the numbers, and nice as it is, unless you're selling drugs, it ain't worth it.

thanks for the comments, yea i no i could have had a r34 gtr and a half, but once i start on something i like it done properly next step is to run the engine in and i am hoping to get in the 9 sec bracket if it hooks up. and one word of advice dont try and do a six port direct injection it works out way to expensive for what its worth , i had to put the nossles under the plenium i did want them on top but the fuel rail is in the way....well i did drive it back from the workshop and its f**kn loud it will be good to go on a cruise so if anyones keen pm me we can work out a date to meet up....

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
