i agree that looks really good polished. I've always only been interested in building a car with a purpose and that was to drive it. Never been interested in putting my car on show or impressing others so as long as it does what its suppose to i'll be happy. Thanks for all your insight tho people

mate, iv never intended to put my car into a show.. doesnt show the potential of the driver or the power :) im more interested in drifting it and making a shitload of smoke and noise.. i just got it polished because it was for free, might get rid of it though and put a propper one on because my plenum isnt polished.

Last night a mate offered me to put my car into autosalon next year and i refused straight away.. waste of time and money.

goodluck with your car bud

STR8E180, its not about the money, i think its a wank having your car on display for no reason, doesnt faze me unless you go on dyno and shred the thing apart! if its a club thing then its alright or something like promotional work..

but as i said earlier, id rather tear the track apart and destroy some tyres ;)

str8e180 how much for a comp cover with the AR .70 on it with an elbow?

yeah but if u c in my pic, it pretty much touches my exhaust manifold (a bee's dick away) it has been moved away from the head and honed out a touch on the manifold, also the wastegate pipe comes out of the side just under the flange, not underneith (overboost problems) as this manifold is a cheapo one.

so yeah, cant use silicone bends.

LoL, you couldn't resist, like a kid with a new toy at show 'n' tell ;)

The SR setup should be wicked, good luck man!

*waits for Disco to come sprinting over, all frothy mouthed and sweaty palmed over the TS setup*

Nup , T04Z's are not my thing . Too much T4 dinosaur technology in them .

GT4088R's kill those if they're set up propely , exy but they do the trick .

Boy has HKS got y'all in with the drilled port shrouded comp covers !

BTW this does nothing for you if the compressor doesn't actually surge , it can be a step backwards .

Man, shuuush, you cant put reality in front of turbine whistle!!! I don't think the surge slotted HKS T51's are specc'd any better then the other options in the same power window, but I've heard of half a dozen ppl that have upgrade their well matched, non - surging setups for HKS items; purely for noise :(:/ (check the YouTube trash for evidence of popularity - ha)

Its Garrets step i guess, to remain attractive to F&F fans heading towards the Rice tech mecca that is the GTK's from Turbonetics

I don't think you should swap it. It doesnt make it look any less tough & it still looks awesome. I'd swap you for mine if you lived in brissie. I dont really want to have my car off the road it's planned it be going again after blowing up the old engine in january

STR8E180 Just had a look at your cars. I dont really like s13's but i love 180's and yours would have to be one of if not the best example ive seen. Everything has been done right and with a purpose looks unreal and makes great power. As for your r32 gtr it's the car i wish i bought instead so need not to say more lol

      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
