Hi everyone,

as the topic states i'm new to SAU. I have owned quite a few heavily modified cars in the past, but have always wanted a GTR.I purchased a lightly modified R33 GTR V-SPEC about a month ago. The person I purchased the car off had let it go a little and I've just about got it back to a respectful state now. It has the following modifications:

black & red leather interior

Nismo 320km/h dash

various interior gadgets nismo shifter nd handbrake etc

Greddy front mount intercooler and pipe kit

Greddy lightlweight pulleys

N1 roller bearing turbo's

Apexi pod filters

3 1/2 inch turbo back exhaust

candy apple red rocker covers

R34 GTR wheels

I have big plans for the car, as i suppose as everyone does when they first buy one, but im currently trying to make a decision on which coilovers to purchase, as that is first on the hit list. Shortly followed by a new alarm system.

Hi Shannon.

Looking Nice indeed.

Since you mentioned coilovers thought it couldnt hurt to get some help!

Depending on your plans - you will need to go different set up from word go. If you are chasing BIG power you will need something fully adjustably. Camber/Caster/Toe.

Reason being - Big power application will obviously struggle fro traction (no tooo bad in 4wd though). So by adjusting toe out just a touch and a good small amount of castor, you will get the car to hunker down under accelaration & actually be straigtening the wheels for awesome straight line accel.

If you want something OEM feeling and just plain versatile, a set of Nismo S or R tunes are the way to go. A little bit set and forget, but nismo just get things right!

Best of luck

      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
