What did everyone think of the efforts at the final drag meet for 2004 the other weekend? That little 4wd that nearly rolled spun me out!!! Was a bit disapointed with the skyline though. Started awsome, heaps off smoke, got into 4th I think by the sound of it, then spun and that was it. Anybody know what happned to it?

Was for sale. Sounds like its got the goods. If it the one in the trading post in Hobart it would want to go for the price!!!!

i think he was talkin $28K is that right? he is from launceston.

apparently it just lost drive, wether it was a diff or gearbox dunno.

its not that great a car, only runs 13s. its got fully rebuilt rb25 with forged internals, custom plenum, top mount T04 external wastegate. sounds like a truck. i like the veilside rims

Good engine the old rb20's. I put one in a vl and was very happy with it. Never did get around to changing the diff ratio. Otherwise it was the same as another skyline that belonged to a good mate Mick from Speedy Tyres in launceston. His old red beast ran a best of 13.3 with truck front mount, 3 inch exaust and 14psi.

Now if only I could cram one in somthing lighter.

      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.

      My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

      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
