There is Joviant in brookvale and Envy Imports do some work.

I haven't done any modifications and haven't heard any gossip about the above two.

Do you own the silver R34 that frequents manly? I also see from time to time a yellow R34 on warringah Rd.

How about setting up a homework station somewhere on the northern beaches where you do assignments for free? =)

I've got a compiler I have to modify and get working by friday as well as a speech system to make room reservations over the phone (using a computer operator with voice recognition).

Anyone want to help?

I remember my Uni days .... well most of them anyway. I was mostly at the Uni bar !!

Good luck with the homework dood ! Wish I could help, but I've forgotten all that stuff - I only know about Crank Angle Sensors, TEIN Coil overs, Hybrid Turbos, Wastgates, Blow Off valves, etc (all the stuff they never taught at Unis - Damn)

Joviant are good guys and Brett (the guy who owns the joint) is a cluey character for Skylines. Hell all nissans actually.

As for his car, HOLY SHIT. its a bloody monster. Been for several rides in it a different stages of the rebuild and tune. Has over 450Kw at the wheels with a stupid torque figure.

Went for blast in his.....got back in my 255Kw GTR and it felt like a Golf or something...

Bribe, sell your wife, but get a ride in that car...

Its awesome!

He tuned my GTR and my old GTIR and I've seen and been in heaps of cars he's worked on. First rate work from what I've seen.

I take my car there for servicing.

Sebaz, you overtook me on griffin rd one night a few weeks after I was putting along the south curl curl beachfront. You turned left into Abbott rd at the round about.

I was the slow silver skyline holding you up - didn't notice you until you overtook.

Joviant is at a round about in Brookvale.

I think its in the same street as st vincents. Envy imports had their workshop nearly opposite vinnies but have apparently moved since I bought my car.

If your heading south on pittwater rd, turn left just before the bus station (vinnies is on one side of this corner and the bus station is on the other). After turning left go staight until you hit the round about - this is where Joviant is (from memory): on top of the round about.

      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
