Head Gasket Help!

[AlfaR32]

Hey People I'm a new member and new to skylines, just bought my first a 1989 R32 GTS-T M spec and am loving it, with one exception, I had owned the car about 48hrs and I have now done a head gasket. How did I do this? Well a untightened (not by me) bottom radiator hose blew off and hense no coolant, hence big problems!

I really want and need to get my wheels back on the rd, but every place I talk too as soon as I tell them I've done a head gasket on an RB20 don't want to touch it! Any ideas who I can take it too in Adelaide? I'm in the prospect area!

Some more info on the car it's done 53 thou km (I'm alittle dubious about that), is black with sunroof, has a ceramic clutch, Power FC computer, a brand new GT28RS turbo, custom front mount, Apexi pod filter, Apexi Boost controller, Sard 550cc injectors, spitfire coilpacks, full trust exhaust system, R33 front seats and when running had a confirmed 225rwkw

Any advice as to who to see to get it fixed quickly and properly would be most appreciated!

Also I would put a pic on here for you but I can't figure out how, god damn it, I think I added an attachement so will just see if it wked or not!

Shaun @ Boost worx...

He has a mate with a tow truck too i think. Ring him and enquire about getting it done.

How have you determined it is a head gasket?

Do you know how hot you got it?

Hope it is as simple as all that mate, best of luck.

Shaun does good work according to all I've spoken to that have used him.

rb20s dont blow head gaskets usually...

no coolant in a bimetal engine = easy head gasket to blow...

ask me how i know

Easiest tell is the ol radiator cap off with the motor running, and watch the bubbles

*goes back to fixing the mrs laser mumbling "should be working on the line..."

Yeah I got a friend who is a nissan tech to come out and check it over, def a head gasket, bubbling back thru radiator! It got pretty hot, with all the coolant gone the temp gauge wasn't wking properly so by the time it started going up was already to late!

Talked to shaun at boost worx, he's definetly the man, gonna squeeze me in late next week, should have it back barring problems by monday 19th

Until then im stuck driving a mates sisters 89 camery with 350thou on the clock, omg sic!
