Hey everyone,

Moved to Sydney from NZ a couple of months back now and finally getting enough time on my hands to start playing around with cars again.

I own an R33 back in New Zealand which is currently with my mate who is tidying it up mechanically and then dropping it off at a panel shop to get fixed up in anticipation for export to here.

Quickly learnt that while the public transport over here is great, you still really need to have a car to get around. Ended up picking up a '82 Datsun/Nissan Pulsar N10 which I've just got running again after experiencing a heap of mishaps after buying it. Done a few modifications and it will probably turn into a bit of a track hack.

Looking forward to getting involved with some events. :)

Cheers,

James

Haha sorry for replying so late guys.

Definitely keen to come to some events, but maybe in a month or so, got a lot of work on.

Pics? Well the Pulsar is in the garage and the Skyline is in NZ still, so this is the best I can do.

Definitely having withdrawals of the Skyline. Expensive exercise... doesn't seem too bad though. Have had the R33 for 4 years now, so sentimental value is high. Have discussed with Kristian at Iron Chef Imports. Will be hitting him up in a few months once my mechanic and panel beater have finished giving it a rigorous going over.

Thanks for the welcome. :)

      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
