OK, sorry, voice of reason here.

So you've found out that you can't drop the turbo motor in. So why are you doing a expensive conversion? Realistically, you'll want a turbo/performance car when your off you provisionals, so why are you wasting money on this?

Because the stagea front end is cleaner, more bumper combinations and my front end damage is expensive to have fixed so i might as well save and do it now. I have a 105kw at the wheels on the base model 250GT so its the lightest of the V series models so with a few thibgs here and there i should be able to get more power. I dont want alot. Its my daily and i dont want it getting attention from the popo........

I've got a black standard bumper in Sydney if you're interested.

Bar is undamaged, but paint is stonechipped.

PM if you like.

Im on my phone and it wont let me PM you, but it will let me reply if you PM me.....its stupid.

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • 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.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
