Congratz dude cant wait to see car driving again. If you dont mind me asking how much you payed and where you got it from im interested just to compare. Took my car to R31 vs RICE dyno comp today was good to see her in action again. Dont get licence for 9 more days but had a freind drive it first time since i've fixed it it's really been driven was good to sit as a passenger even :)

Boost feels good again.

oh man oh man that looks so damn good and for 7K delivered???? they are that cheap?? how much to install??

i'm wondering now is it possible to replace my RB25DET with an RB26 but couldn't justify if it is like $7K to install so might aswell sell my R33 and buy a R32 GTR

haha

im starting my Fly in fly out work with WMC shortly so im not even gona be here to finish up my own engine just yet :)

Its not to bad to install you just have to pull alot of crap out and remember where it goes!

The only things that i can see that i need to get done professionaly are get the gtr sump modded and modify the exhaust. The wiring im not to sure about yet but i doubt that will be hard

It took me a good day to pull the engine out - ive never done anything like it before so yea it took me a bit.

Hi driver,

Regards

hey man, yeah thats whut he stated in the post.. so that means in ringgit will be RM21k but then you would have to ship it then pay cukai..

      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
