Unfortunately my headgasket started leaking about 3-4months ago, was making 302-308 rwkwk on 19lb on 98. Fixed it in a couple of weekends, Put new nissan headgasket and head bolts. Aiming for 340rwkw and up on e85 :) Anyways here's how it looked when i cracked open the head!

With that cylinder pressure I would be swapping out the factory head bolts for some ARP 625+. Your call at the end of the day... Perhaps you enjoy changing head gaskets. :P

Doing jobs like that is my occupation. If she shits a gasket ill put a mls gasket and uprated head bolts or arp studs

Are you another Kiwi? We only have E85 at two pumps in NZ that I am aware of. There are guys who bring in Sucrogen E85 (works out as like $3 a litre) and we've used this on flex fuel cars: http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living/cleaning-bins/other/auction-634702052.htm

I've got a spare motor, things never break when you've got a spare :D

E85 is still hard work in NZ

Looks like i gotta put a spare short motor aside and wind the boost up. Test your theory

Yeah, still only the two pumps. Taupiri Auto Store have drums of Gull E85 which works out around $3 a litre too, may end up having to go that way

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
