Hey guys, i am heading to melbourne this weekend with a good mate to look at car. He is looking to buy an R33, but is keen to look at R32's, Silvia's and 180s.

don't think he is buying this weekend, but he wants to know where to look for a good car, he doesn't really car about mods so much, mainly low KM's, immaculate condition etc.

i am going over with him mainly to check the cars out as he knows nothing about imports.

he is interested in looking at Carizma and Kamakaze and knows they are expensive, but most of their cars are immaculate and come with a good warranty... another guy we know bought from there and can't say a bad thing about them.

Can anyone else suggest some good caryards or somewhere where we can look, possibly test drive?

Just be careful at Kamakaze as when I went there looking for an R34, most of the cars had copped a respray as the paint was perfect on all cars. Not one single car had a minute blemish.

They often spray cars wild colours too, so ask for photos of the cars before they received them if possible.

Yeh i know they are over priced, and i also heard carizmo is dodgy, but we going for a look and you can't exactly gallavant across melbourne with only public transport to get around on and look at every car in the trading post.

what about SVi?

Warrigul Rd in Moorabin has a huge car yard (multiple dealers) with heaps of imports.

Stageas, Skylines, Silvias etc.

i went down there a few months ago and there weren't many imports. Mondo used to stock imports but now lots of fords and holdens when the 15 year rule came in.

there is also JSA in coburg. ring them before hand and tell them what you want. they dont have many cars on the lot but have a large warehouse.

      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
