Hi

I just brough a pair of adjustable castor rods for my R32 GTR and I noticed that the ones that I have recieved are straight. my question is doesnt the GTR castor rods have a bend in them (to avoid some suspenion component, i cant really remember) or do the adjustable ones have some type of offset to avoid this bend?

Cheers

Fil.

yes the GTR castors rods should have a bend in them. most likely you've got 32 GTST ones instead. perhaps some aftermarket makers don't make actual 32 GTR ones, but the aftermarket ones I've bought had the bend. (except for the ikeya ones which come with their LCAs as they are completely different design).

good man. and good memory. I had a set of the cuscos too and couldn't remember but now that you mention it I do remeber thinking how clever of them. the little "cones" that fit into the rod end are different sized to offset the position of it in the bracket at the front. thus negating the need for the bend. BUT the china ones I had tried once (for about 2 weeks!) did make bent ones for GTR and straight ones for GTST.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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
