hello all,

I've had my r33 gtst auto for nearly a year now, and I'm still very happy.

so far I have taken her from stock to just below 'stage 1' I guess.

I have had my issues with her, all results of the last owner :(

So the car:

HKS hi power exhaust system

HKS de-cat pipe

HKS front pipe

HKS panel filter

Hi flow fuel filter

R34 side mount intercooler

walbro 255 fuel pump

acl main and rod bearings

total seal rings

cometic 1.3mm head gasket

n1 oil and water pumps

2nd stage of boost removed at the moment so just the low boost (0.6bar though)

stock head bolts, pistons, turbo, manifold, ecu etc....

thanks I'm trying to keep her clean and tidy:)

plans for her are to get to about 320-330hp or as far as the stock turbo etc. will allow, then add a little nitrous for 1/4 mile action, she is a my daily drive so I'm not planning on going to mad with her.

insurance was actually not as easy as I hoped, but there are places out there that are not asking for my soul as payment...

      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
