i was under the understanding that renault own 45% of nissan, however nissan own 15% of renault.

you could be right, i just know that nissan were in a bit of trouble and the guy from renault took over (however much percent) and pulled them back out in about 2 yrs.

Just as the Porsche 997 Turbo is the target of the upcoming GT-R, in this case it's BMW's 335i Cabriolet which is the target. Nissan (V36) aswell as Lexus (IS250/350) are bang in the middle BMW 3 Series territory, and this convertible version of the V36 Coupe is just an extention of that. In the article it goes on to say that 'The V36 Coupe convertible may not exist at all if it weren't for the original 1961 Skyline Sports convertible before it...' meaning the market niche was always there in the Skyline range, Nissan just never did anything about it since then.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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
