I've just found out that it's the manifold/turbo gasket NOT the manifold/block gasket. Hopefully will be a hell of alot easier. Am going to drop off the turbo tonight. Thanks again for the advice guys. Muchly appreciated.

Thanks all for the advice - from previous experience on my rb30 engine in my VL I know exactly how brittle these bolts can/will be.. and I'm quite scared.. it adds a whole new dimension, adding helicoils, using a welder and things like that.. not sure if Zanda will be too keen about letting me loose on it anymore.. Will have to see what $$ it's worth to get done. Sometimes it's better to employ someone else to do the work.

know exactly how you feel - me bored shitless to the point that i'm not full of shit anymore too..

q2? wiked! i gave up playing that cause nobody was interested anymore when q3 came out (which is crap by the way!) i used to play on the iinet server for hours.. mint fun..

hehe - mega nerd alet PRACTICING for lan session!!

lan session? what u practicing?

bugger.....

actually dark - u've got a good point there! where are the pics from the last photo comp? it would be good to guage what we have to compete with..

thanks paul.. will think about changing my nick... cheap joke - you said ring.. and poo.. hehehe.. sorry - working with costing spreadsheets bigger than 10,000 lines makes me cranky and a little insane..

hehe - nice but get ur own material.. hehe...

skyzer - maybe he's not gay - but one of those gay homophobe dudes.. you know - the one's that hate gays sooooo much - but actually realise that they're gay so hate them even more.. hehe.. bye the way dark - thats the worst comeback - "at least i'm not gay" - it's right up there with "well, ummm.. you're a poohead!" hehehe...

nah - me no believe him to be innocent... chasing skirt hard he seems yes...

he does sound like one doesn't he skyzer...

hehe.. fair enough then.. well if you're innocent, I must be!

Thats what I feared.. I was hoping they wouldn't be prone to snapping.. hmmm could be worth getting it done somewhere then rather than in the backyard..

nah - just checking back here every now and then.. funny to see how everything seems to turn back to getting niz into the sack.. hehehe... and yea - maybe i'm blushing.. after all - i'm 26 and innocent?!? yar right!!!

jeeze - things can get pretty heated within a few posts hey... looks like u got them lining up niz.. hehe

not interested in leaving the car there over the weekend.. was only thinking of a bit of fun.. thanks for the info dan..

Hey all - am after a bit of advice here.. Am going to be undertaking the task of helping Zanda to change a set of exhaust manifold gaskets on a newly imported R33. It's a 95 (I think) and hasn't done a huge amount of kms.. somewhere around 80,000. Any ideas of what problems may be faced? My plan of attack is as follows: 1. Take off all piping to turbo 2. Remove exhaust from turbo 3. Unbolt exhaust manifold from engine block 4. Replace gasket and bolt up again with new bolts 5. Replace all other bits.. I think the main problem we could face is that we won't be able to move the turbo because there will be no flexible lines attached to it, only fixed ones.. So we'd have to remove the turbo.. Any advice - however trivial - will be very much welcomed...

heya dark...

nah - he'll be looking for a second story to his rear wing..

Stereo shootout you can? coolies.. maybe have some fun with that one.. do they have a website with details?

paul - had to do that when you're chained to a desk in the centre of the city!! doh...

me back.... damn contractors.. actually no - damn peepholes in the front door.. i swear the bloke was inside and just wouldn't open the door!! hehehe... oh well - got to drive my car around and get paid for it..

dan - let me know how it all goes buddy.. will be most interested to see what comes of it.. power wise that is... as for the rollaboyz dyno day - my car read 250 rwhp running at 10psi.. which is completely impossible.. it's currently making 230 at 12.5 psi.. i feel that the readings for mine were WAY high.. in fact I feel all the readings taken at Myree dyno that day were way high.. would expect the same this year... therefore - maybe not a good place for a true power shootout?
