Next on the list was i wanted to Up my Boost a little bit so ive purchased a twins tage turbosmart boost controller for only $20 of my mate.

But i didnt want to do this without a boost gauge so i knew exactly what Boost i had. (Not going over 14psi)

The water temp sensor has seemed to help out alot with my cold start issues but still im in need of slightly tapping the throttle to get her going. so the IAC valve si on the list of things to clean/inspect maybe replace next if i have to.

Bad photo but you get the point splitfires are in :D

And then on the list was time to finally get rid of those crappy rims. that are 9.5 on teh rear with 8.5 on the fronts that had shitty 235 tyres on them.

I have always Loved and dreamed since owning my GTR of buying some Work Meister S1 3P rims. but the price is just not in my region atm when i have more important thigns to fix. so a good quality copy is in order.

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
