This will be a good one to watch - see what differences (if any) to Darrin Spencer's conversion: definitely keep us updated as much as possible, Brycey: From NY taxicab to R34 - it deserves its decepticon badge!

alot of the decision has been inspired from Darrin - also many thanks for all the time he spent giving me info :) i think the main difference between mine and Darrin’s conversion is that i will be keeping the standard radiator support.. should be interesting to see how it turns out!!

hahaha NY taxi :) i wont miss that.. the car has gone through a few stage's..

also, i have had the Tekero's side skirts repaired and modified to match up to the R34 front, aswell as repairing the Takero's rear bar which wasn’t in a good way.. should look great when its all complete :)

THEIR SO FREAKING SEXY!!

They just look SOOOO good!.. It makes you wonder.. "why wasnt there a ute version released from Nissan!?!"

Take the rediculous wong off and you have something that 50 SQUILLION times better than any Holden or Ford ute ever released! .. it just looks right..

Except you can't open the rear tray, so it's not a very useful ute. If someone did the conversion well so you could use it properly it would definately be horn. AWD Turbo Ute, no one has made one of those before.

Actually that's an awesome idea for my car if I can't sell it.... *ponders*

      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
