i think its time for some maintenance free batteries for the rig, they're not liking the cold weather (or me LOL)

[Weezy]

I think you need to post up more specs on the GT-R Matty .

Here's what i started with

[heslo]

Well the head is off and here's the aftermath...

Seems I was spot on with the headgasket

[bezender]

[Import S13]

anyone seen any cars for around 5k give or take a grand if you like, that would be a cool little boonga spec car for a new daily?

i had my heart set on another car but when i checked it out the second time, i noticed a few things i didnt like so im back on the hunt.

thought about building something cheap but i donno

[bezender]

blown head gasket is no doubt a pain in the ass Luke but could be worse, glad that gave out rather then doing damage to something else in that region.

[Luke_ENR34]

Far out Luke!! Nice work. You doing that yourself? I wouldnt have a clue what to do after getting the valley covers off lol.

[Import S13]

Dohmar, i thought about buying a gtr but i just wont drive it thats why im looking for something cheap as i can only drive 2-3 days a week and soon it will be 1 week of the month

also, i dont like SR's lol but might have a look at them

Yeah got Simon helping me out but it's getting there. Sending the head off to Rhemac tomorrow for a port/polish and getting them to drop the Poncams in while they are at it. Then I'll pick it up, get Simon to bolt the head back on with the new ARP head studs and head gasket, complete with the Tomei oil restrictor. Then it's up to me to bolt on the rest. Oh happy days!!!

Looking at the bores however, all seems well, no pitting on the pistons from detonation or the like so the bottom end seems in pretty good nick thankfully! Just need to get a retune after it's all back together, then back to the track!

[skwiz]

i like it when you said 'back to the track'

[heslo]

No other place it feels more at home

[Luke_ENR34]

Gonna change any heater hoses while your there? Better to do it now then later

[heslo]

Yeah, there are a few hoses I'm looking at that I'll replace while I'm there. The motor is in very good condition really, no pitting on the pistons, no scores in the bore and still has the cross hatching. Looks like it should be sweet for some time to come

[Luke_ENR34]

No idea what all those other technical words u just mentioned mean lol

I should hope so if your tuner did a good job lol

[heslo]

My tuner is fine, I'm more worried about the previous abuse the car has copped. Which to me, looks minimal

And Luke, look here

[Weezy]

I didn't even think of previous owners/tuners
