Gday all

My R33 has done a headgasket I believe (oilcap is sludge, sounds like a WRX, and when it warms up, it Exhaust becomes a chimney) I've Called up a few places and the general price I get to fix it (new headgasket head work etc etc) is from 1500-1900. I know most people would swap another engine in but that would cost around 3-4k (engine and labour)

just curious (if anyone would know) if I supply the parts for a rebuild what would the labour cost be roughly?

or should I just get a headgasket fix

About 1000 like nizmo man said is right..

If you want to go with a stronger bottom end while your at it do it then.

I picked up a billet crank and forged pistons and rods for 2600..

Needed balancing and i put new bearings and timing chain in aswell as a oil pump but but it your thinking of doing it later it will save yourself some coin.

Or just give it a go yourself..

Whats the worst that can happen if your cars already off the road?

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
