I had to wait till my 40's before I got my dream GT-R.

Be proud of the GTST - its a great car and deserves to be recognised as such. We all start somewhere.

Have fun with it and heed the advice - "Don't buy a GT-R unless you can afford two"*

Cheers

You have a rwd that has the potential for high power, its not an easy car to drive fast, the gtr on the other hand is alot easier to handle in my opinion, i drove a std gtr flat to the floor on a track and thought it was sasy as, i cant drive my gtst flat to the floor without my full attention...

Dont just be proud of your gtst but know that its an entirely different car with its own abilities and attributes.

High powered rwd is the animal that bites back hard, it takes real skill to handle them

I think it's ok if it makes you happy.

But don't do what I've seen a few years ago some guy badged a white gtst a gtr trying to sell it as a real gtr even when the Vin plate said gtst.

He put a rb26 in it but keep the RWD system

so if you ever try selling you could re-badge gtst or advise the new owner to be, of what you have done.

Just some courtesy :D

      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
