The amount they had patrolling the cruise, meanwhile RCK cruise would have been on... We would have been free to rob a bank. Surley every cop would have been tied up with some people 'reving their engines and congrigating in a big group' damn youth of today :)

I wasnt hasseled but amazed at the amount of police they've dedicated to something like this.

They need to rearrange their prioities

What, like the Police band they had playing in the mall all arvo? Earning their keep :)

I go on the bigger NS cruises... (Christmas Charity, BSM etc.)

So do you Ruby, Ive seen you there :)

I show up to the meet spot for the chat on the rare occasion (for other business) ... but I don't roll with them :thumbsup:

Don't forget guys that if you if you are going to run metal head gaskets you will need to prep both the head and block mating surfaces to the correct finish. If you don't then there is a fair chance that they will leak.

Now you have to ask yourself how you are going to prep the block with the pistons in place.

Also don't forget that if you are going to change to ARP studs then you will need to torque plate hone the bores as you will be using greater torque settings and the bore will be more deformed. This is the same story for main studs in that you will need to line bore the mains.

So i guess the moral of the story is that if you are going to do a rebuild it a perfect opportunity to change to MLS head gasket and ARP studs, but other than with a rebuild it's not the ideal time to change.

So im better of just going a standard genuine headgasket then?

Also were is the best place to order parts, im changing headgasket and sending head of to be checked out. Also doing a 100ks service while its off the road.

What place to you guys order parts from?

Cheers for everyones help.

Like I said, a composition style head gasket is more forgiving but even one of those won't help you if you don't resolve why it blew in the 1st place.

Don't just throw the old one away if your doing the job yourself cause it may give you a clue......I'd be showing the head and gasket to a mechanic once it's off.

Has anyone here ever had any experience with aftermarket LSD's in a GTR?

Got one in mine, will do some digging and find out what it is and let you know mate, pretty nice to drive with.

Well actually had a guy having a REALLY close look at mine on sunday while i was out with Kristian. Quickly looked over his N1, but paid real attention to mine like: looking for engine number, checking rego sticker, compliance tag and a few other things. Meanwhile this way while it was parked and locked up on a primary school oval :D

I have a Nismo 2-way in my car.

Which is why I don't attend them :D

Got to be careful on those cruises when ya rolling on 17's and 4WD spec ride height, cops will be all over that shit!

Fkn LOL!

Also, whats with the skyline's these days? They are all over the hoon stories!

First it was a silver skyline on Rundle,

now its a white skyline, with a boost controller.

On Monday, my mum was reading the paper, and pointed the story out to me, asking me wether i would have a boost controller in the car im probably going to buy. My reply was "yes, why's that?", to which i got the most blunt, shocked, and 'oh my gosh' look on her face.

I didn't tell her that it's got a pod filter, that would send her bonkers..

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
