Hey guys the wife and I live in sa are looking at getting a c34 stag somethime in the next few weeks and are just curious on a few things. The first is major service, is this done at 100k? And what would it set me back $$ plus who would be a trustworthy mechanic too take it too when I need something fixed? I only ask because there is a free for sale getting close too the 100k mark.

Also a reliability question, at the moment we plan not too mod it, however I may decide to do some little things, fmc, zorst and maybe some airflow, nothing stupid and plan not too boost it.

Are they a reliable car with these simple mods?

And finally is there any common falts I should look for on inspection?

Thanks,

Fires

Absolutely awesome cars, mine is pretty heavily modified but the engine is still unopened. I also driving it HARD and it loves it, begs for more!

The only issue I have is front CV's have started clicking but the front axles are the same as all the GTRs, have a set coming in through Maytech very soon.

P.S. make sure you go a series 2!

      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
