pull it apart yourself taking plenty of photos along the way so its not too difficult to put back together. take the head to an engine place (i have used richardsons engine service, but ask around there are plenty of good places). get them to check it over and face it.... if its not warped/cracked slap it back on and do a skid. if it is munted depending on wether you are going to do the labor yourself suss out quotes on a 2nd hand motor vs new head

btw its a good chance to replace hoses when the head is off

might get a start on it tommorow man cheers.

Might see if i can find a guide on it or something

I am going to need a favour while i am away (if someone can help me out) - Im off to Whyalla on the 6th May (thursday) and returning on the 20th May (also a thursday)

Sometime in that time im expecting a package to be delivered with my external wastegate in it. I need the whole package taken by Garage 7 so Decs can grab the bits he needs from it, then the package returned home.

As for when it'll be showing up, its sometime within the next 6-10 days. I can get someone to contact you when it arrives

Anyone able to help? There will be alcohol payment when i return......

not bad with price hey, awesome quality to be brutally honest.

and if I buy the farm in Renmark I'll get a car hoist and spend some quality time making this track car

once we sell in say 15yrs time I could afford a R35 GT-R and sell the stagea & r32 rb26dett funcar

seriously considering it.......

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
