Hi all,

big reader but not a big poster on SUA but i have bit of a problem that i need some advice with, i have an option to buy a nice looking R33 GTST RB25DET with GT35 turbo pushing 350rwhp.

its at 150,000k's, its rego'd and he's putting adjustable bilstien shocks on koz he want to keep his coilies that he has on (which i don't mind)

He is asking $3500 for it, only real issue is is that he said it has 'low compression', there is no smoke though, also doesn't come with ECU and the g/box grinds a bit into 4th (only if you change fast) apart from that its alright.

so im not sure if its worth it?

whats everyone's opinions?

Pretty sure my options are scrap the engine and put new one in or rebuild?

PS: it would be used as a drift car, i also have another R33 but its for street

      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
