Spotted an R34 GTT/R. Not sure as I had to cock my head back from 12 to 6 and by then he took off. He looked at me a few times but I was a lil slow on the wave.

Not exactly sure where, but heading to the city past ANU / Stadium.

Uh oh :( What happened?

Over the last few years the engine has had to sit unused, sometimes without oil, while I slowly swapped the turbo, intake manifold, and a bunch of other stuff, plus the years of abuse before that.

Finally got everything installed, got it to tune, made good power. day before I went to pick it up, it started pissing out oil smoke. a little on idle, alot under load and when backing off. Looks like its engine. People reckon rings and or valve stem seals.

Now with baby in the way, I dont have money for a replacement.

Yay cars!

If its valve stem seals I have the tools to change them without removing the head off. Mine did the same when backing off turned out I had to rebuild my turbo but had changed the seals before and it wasnt the problem.

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
