Yeah maybe take it to a tuner and let them check the air to fuel ratios just to make sure.

My stock computer was running 13 psi and never blew a head gasket. Stock tune with stock or close to stock boost shouldn't cause an issue at all.

Wear and tear could be a factor maybe the the person before you gave the car a thrashing

Could have had a hard life like alot of skylines, but strangely enough my bottom end looked really good, and the fact that the head had never been taken off the car or touched before was also a good sign :)

Was thinking of picking up some shell helix hx7 to rum through the car before filling with motul, should be fine running cheaper stuff for that purpose yeah?

Its $20~ odd at super cheap ;) wonder if anybody actually runs that oil ...

I have done it before just to give it a good clean out. Run some shit oil for 100km or so and just don't thrash it at all. Dump that and top up with quality stuff

Right now I have been running penrite 10/30 or 15/30 for about $50 per 5L and the car likes it.

I just change it about every 3-4 thousand ks

Going in for a tune tomorrow, I've got -7s on it.

Still hearing some hissing, horrible noise is gone so was the timing belt. Oil is staying clean.

Just gotta find this vacuum leak. Any pointers or common leak areas?

    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
    • Oh yeah, always always always turn over an engine by hand first.
    • So by that logic, an insanely expensive GTR for $200k+ is quite cheap, at 12% of Sydney's median house price compared to over 50% when a GTR was new...
    • Apologies... thought i had outlined it... Cheers for the response, I'll get a nipple sorted out for this.
    • lol thanks for the pics but some arrows might have helped for context. If you mean the bit I've badly traced in red, that is a PITA vacuum signal for the power steering pump, only R34 GTT was "lucky" enough to get it. Yes you will need a nipple of the same size somewhere in the intake between the air filter and the throttle or the power steering idle up will not work correctly
