Yeah maybe take it to a tuner and let them check the air to fuel ratios just to make sure.

My stock computer was running 13 psi and never blew a head gasket. Stock tune with stock or close to stock boost shouldn't cause an issue at all.

Wear and tear could be a factor maybe the the person before you gave the car a thrashing

Could have had a hard life like alot of skylines, but strangely enough my bottom end looked really good, and the fact that the head had never been taken off the car or touched before was also a good sign :)

Was thinking of picking up some shell helix hx7 to rum through the car before filling with motul, should be fine running cheaper stuff for that purpose yeah?

Its $20~ odd at super cheap ;) wonder if anybody actually runs that oil ...

I have done it before just to give it a good clean out. Run some shit oil for 100km or so and just don't thrash it at all. Dump that and top up with quality stuff

Right now I have been running penrite 10/30 or 15/30 for about $50 per 5L and the car likes it.

I just change it about every 3-4 thousand ks

Going in for a tune tomorrow, I've got -7s on it.

Still hearing some hissing, horrible noise is gone so was the timing belt. Oil is staying clean.

Just gotta find this vacuum leak. Any pointers or common leak areas?

    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...
    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
