Good to see the car go into good hands :)

Thank you! It was nice to meet you at JustJap, I will be around soon to buy a fair few items for my next service, rather than chase power I've decided I'd like to refresh the car as much as possible, starting with an overhaul of the fluids, belts and pumps.

It seems that the car has already had some of these items changed in the past, however I do not have any records or receipts. At 140,000kms, my shopping list is:

  • Engine oil: Motul 300V 10W40 and genuine Nissan oil filter
  • Transfer case: Nissan Matic D
  • Front diff: Motul Gear300 75W90
  • Rear diff: Motul FF-LSD Type 2 75W90
  • Brake/clutch: Motul RBF600 DOT4
  • Gearbox - still researching suitable oil
  • Spark plugs - also still researching which is suitable
  • Fuel filter
  • Coolant flush
  • Crank angle sensor - been showing Code 11 Crank Angle Sensor/Phase Sensor for some time now, finally starting to see symptoms of a fried sensor - unwillingness to rev, revs dropping on idle, etc
  • Water pump/timing belt/cam and crank seals, etc - probably will go OEM belts
  • Ancillary belts - probably also OEM belts
  • Thermostat
  • Radiator fan - starting to show some stress cracks

If anyone has any further recommendations feel free to let me know!

Great pics, except that ugly Supra. 

List looks good to me. When doing timing belt, replace the idler and tensioner bearings also. Worth looking at Cam and Crank seals while you're there if they have never been done. If you're paying for labour, you might as well get the whole lot done and save yourself paying twice.

Thank you! Will be replacing all of the above, I went with the Kudos Motorsports 100,000km service kit. Highly recommended, took only a few days to arrive.

Thank you for the reply! I looked into all of the above links and in particular used the ayu452 blog.

I ended up getting Transmax Z for the Getrag.

      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
