You have Type M front bar and skirts, but your rear spoiler isn't.

I wouldn't consider the spoiler to be either M spec or not. The rounded spoiler is typically categorised as series 1, and the square one series 2. The square spoiler was an option on later series 1 Skylines, but they did away with the round one entirely for series 2, presumably to cut down on production costs. So it's more of just an option really. I don't put it in the same category as the lower front bar and side skirts, which I would consider to be Type M kit, even though I think they were options even for non turbo Skylines.

In some ways I prefer the rounded spoiler, and have often thought of selling my square one and replacing it with the rounded one. I know for a fact that it interferes less with the rear view (looked out the rear mirror in a friend's with round one), and can make the car look lower and meaner sometimes. The only reason I haven't done it is because I'm sure as soon as I did, I would start to miss my old spoiler. Maybe when I get enough money I'll just buy the round one so I can swap whenever I like.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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
