Point being? ^

These have a 12 month warranty, the idea of that is that if it breaks within 12 months you can get it replaced. Yours broke within two weeks, so you still had a little bit of time before the warranty expired.

point being if you want to keep changing it when it cracks and new gaskets and studs(maybe if your unlucky), i did change it over once then removed it for a different one

A gasket can be used more than once you know.

You got unlucky. They are alot better than they used to be.

I had one on my R33 that was regularly tracked, and daily driven. No problems with mine at all. Bar the initial boost creep that was a fault of earlier designs.

I changed mine, however for different requirements.

Which one didn't tighten, one of the four top bolts or one of the two bottom nuts? I've got all 6 in place so it's certainly possible with the JJR front/dump.

I WD40's the bejesus out of mine before pulling them out and then trial tightened the bolts and nuts in fully (without the dump) to make sure they'd go all the way in without problems.

the middle bolt next to the engin block i recon i need a bent open ender (half moon spanner)

Strange, I thought I got that one open & tightened fine with a long socket. Or maybe I used a uni joint. Can't remember...

    • 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
