Not sure where to post, but I'm getting desperate... I have no spare and my 4th wheel has damage so I don't want to drive around on it much incase anything happens.

I've called half of melbourne and no one can sell me a wheel. maybe im not asking the right questions, i don't care if it is the same rim style etc, just as long as it is mechanically fine (ie right size, wearing, offset for ATESSA etc)...

anyone have any clues? i don't want to buy a set of 4 just to have 1 spare lol.. i don't have exact offset etc, but its 17" R32GTR 89

think i need something a bit closer than SA :P

they don't have to be skyline wheels, why can't i just use some standard 17" i'm not going to be drifting with them, so it doesn't have to be exact, just enough to keep me out of trouble while i get the damaged one fixed.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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
