Hey guys, I've asked this over at styling too - but I thought maybe someone a bit more local might be able to help :)

I found some bog when rolling my rear guards earlier today - As you can (hopefully) see is an old repair that's shown up. When I say shown up, I mean the whole arch has fallen apart. This is in essence a track car (with some daily stuff). So, I was thinking of just cutting the arches out and adding some torana style bolt on flares (I know that are not to everyones tastes, however they'll fix the issues nicely).. and I had a tori for ages. I only want something thats 20 - 25mm..

The usual searches have churned out some outdated links.... Does anyone know where I can source some??

Cheers!!

Cristian helped me out - a good guy.

I have another idea Anthony - Buy a Skyline!

In fact buy this http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/352396-r34-gt-t-auto-sedan-in-canberra-8500/

Drives well, clean straight and honest. Unbeatble price. But be quick :)

But I've got a 33, and its says skyline on the back.... And thats an auto. I can't go back EVER again.

I actually got some from just jap being freighted in carbon.

I'll post pics when she's done with the fatness wheels :)

Shit sorry Anthony, I'm bloody hopeless with names and faces.....never been a people person. Many an embarassing moment, this is another one.

I still have all that R33 stuff you gave me, do you want it back????

I was always going to take it to Canberra and give it away, but never ever did.

Yeah man - still here. I've had two 31's and the 33 since the 32. This one is going to be faster though :) I was sad to see you were selling yours - it was always really tidy that thing.

The flares ended up not actually giving me any extra gaurd room, so its cutting, glassing and butchering for them - and then they will sit in primer till I can do something about it :)

Photos once done (late next week I'd say)..

Cheers!!

      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
