Have you thought about how low the tyre profile would need to be to run 19s without significantly increasing the rolling radius? For 235 wide, you'd need 35 profile tyres to match the 235/45-17 that is pretty much perfect on a 17. 35 profile tyres are not great for a regular street car (in terms of protecting the rims from potholes, etc, nor for comfort). If you try to go up to 265 width, you'd need to go down to 30 profile to get the same sidewall height.

Not shitcanning the idea of 19s, just pointing out the consequences.

You would use a 40 and a 35 for each of the above widths on an 18" rim.

Where a 265/30-19 has almost exactly the same rolling radius (321mm) as a 235/45-17 (321.5mm), the 265/35-19 is somewhat taller, at 334mm. That's nearly 4% more, which will give a speedo error (reading slower) of that much.

What is the stock tyre size for an R34? Is it 225/45-17? If so, then all the radiuses I've listed above are actually a little taller even than the stock tyre, which is only 317mm. So the error for the 265/35 over the stock tyre is a bit more than 5%.

These aren't huge problems. Just worth keeping in mind.

      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
