V-Spec's came out in 1993 and V-Spec II's came out in 1994, both with Brembo brakes.

Thats a 1992 model.

Its says aftermarket intercooler, I just take a closer look, can't really tell from that pic.

"Garret GT2530 turbos with HKS actuators", I'd take your mechanic along just to make sure and ask the sell if they can prove...

Ok i will ask about the Garret GT2530 turbos with HKS actuators to see if he can prove it and where he got them from.

and i think the price is not bad... there is a few GTR's at that price

and he said he got is serviced at nissan i have asked for log history

Quote :"I get it serviced at a nissan dealership, so they've had their diagnostic computers on it and the standard engine management seems to be coping ok."

*Also, the car does need a tune for the new turbos...

so i will be getting it dynoed and tuned.

Be very wary of cheap GTRs they are cheap for a reason. It could easily end up being 14k + 10k for a rebuild so make sure you get everything checked by your mechanic. If it has nothing wrong with it then it would be a decent buy.

R32 GTR's are coming down in price as the years go by.

You can get a R34 GTR for as low as $40 000 + afew grand for compliancing, Road worthy etc...

But you pay for what you get, but still if this GTR is $14K and your mechanic and state roads checks it all out and is fine then you got yourself a bargin.

Bare in mind tho, its a 18 year old race car, things will need replacing.

      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
