yes i bought it so cheap you couldnt even import a stock auto at that price, i have calculated the cost to take mods off then put it back on. Mine is also white, its a total stock looker on the outside.  

I already bought R34 GTR wheels for it and full GTR kit. If i have cash ill do a pearl gold, pink or some other funky colour paint job over it. Hopefully it will arrive on the 11th may but people will see a lot of this car in the city, ill definately make it stand out since there are too many skylines around. heres a couple of pics, oh anyone by anychance have any idea what turbo it could be(i know its hard to c)? Supplier said its a garret though...

my car is not very modified and i got defected the other day and now have to go to regency, if i were u with an engine bay like that, mainly looking at the high mount turbo i would be trying to keep my car as inconspicuous as possible, i'm currently in the process of trying to sell my 18's due to this fact! just my 2c

If i were you i would keep it stock lookin

If you want to stay out of cop trouble then i keep it that way!

On another note that is a nice buy dude, can't wait to see it out, PLUS stay away from the city!

An external gate through the city would be, um, attention getting

From my experience i think you'll find you'll need to add another $2800 or so for landed price. But thats still good buying.

not really, i record a lower purchase price to reduce 10% duty plus another 10%gst on top and i also have my own agents to do paperwork to save even more.

Yeh the top mount is a concern once the cops pop open the hood and worried the BOV will draw to much attention, thinking of a plumback. I dont know about being picked on with 18in tho, i had them on my 300zx for 6 months and had no trouble, i also drive into city a lot but will scrap the cf bonnet and paint job idea:(

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
