Hey SAU first post here :)

Just want some advice as dont know a huge amount about skylines. I just went for a drive in my r33 gtst and just had a quick loss of power almost like a complete cutout of the motor for a second. Im running standard boost and car is completly original besides a K&N pod filter. Currently it is extremely hot here in SA probably around 44degress outside so not sure if it has anything to do with it cause it was doing it at higher revs when i put my foot for a second. A friend told me about heat soak or something on hotter days. Could it be doing R&R or was risking detonation cause of the hot day so ecu was protecting the motor lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The car only did it once just then and hasnt done it since.

Thanks SAU

I had to drive on Hume Highway in 2012 on the day of the big bushfires..........48'C. I couldn't go over about 85km/h. Oil and exhaust temps would just soar into the danger zone if I did. Actually had a Highway Patrol car follow me for 30km waiting for me to do something wrong and just as I came into Holbrook - and it was two way traffic - a 4wd going north caught his interest so it was lights on and a quick U turn and he was gone. My aircon actually stopped working it got that hot!!!

So I'm with Kinks, poor Skyline being boosted on a 44'C day!!! Remember your Skyline is an old car 10-20 years old in fact. Have a look around you and see what other 15 year old cars look like - most are ready for the tip!!!

      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
