Hello everyone,

I am in the process of buying my first Skyline (my second Nissan ever). I should have it in the next day or two.

A Supra enthusiast, I test-drove one and decided the interior was rather small. I decided to test drive an R33 GTSt because the interior looked bigger than that of the Supra. The car was recently brought into Australia from Japan (no Aussie rego yet) and has no mods apart from a huge exhaust system. Upon driving this thing I was instantly converted. I can't wait to put my name on the rego paper.

Then I came to this forum as I have a friend who has been a regular here since 2002, and was impressed by the vast amount of good information and technical knowledge a lot of the members have. I have already learned, in my short time in SAU, that the most expensive engine oil is not always the best if you will not give it the use it was designed for. And that was after 20 minutes!!! I am looking forward to spending a lot of time here, and hopefully with time I will be able to contribute and lend a hand to others just like you are helping me. :banana:

and i know what you mean about the supra interior. i also think the supra interior looks like crap, not just small. the same goes for the soarer interior.

Definitely, Toyota makes cars of good quality, but they are boring and crappy-looking.

      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
