Yeah a gt35r is pretty much the biggest low-mount you can go without any serious mods. My bro's r33 had one as a low-mount with a genuine hks exhaust mani. His car made just under 500rwhp, standard internals, just bolt-ons and tuning.

500rwhp on stock internals? Ticking time bomb comes to mind :/

He drove it daily for 1.5years, then sold it to a guy in QLD who used it as a track car and the car was sold about 2years ago with the same engine etc etc. The whole engine is still fine, hasn't blow up after 6years of daily abuse :)

It's either exaggerated figures, fly HP or not standard internals

I'm making 480rwhp on a dyno dynamics with a stock motor... Are you positively annoyed friend??

has it has that power for 6 years been abused daily and been used as a track car?

I have no doubt it can make the power its the life span with that power that i am questioning, but if it is all 100% then im happy, im shooting for a bit over 400rwhp and dont expect the engine to last long, if it lasts 6 years i will be very happy, not expecting it tho.

Good mechanic plus a good tuner engine will last a long time. Then there is luck:) I got a forged 33 with all supporting mods including gt35 and tial gate done a hard 40,000klms and still goin very strong! Tuned to 400 on 18psi, safe tune. Everyones engine is different!

      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
