Was it turboed?

was the actual gasket still sealing? as the part that is mainly fucked up on the gasket is just where water would flow...

edit: yeh.. that does look pretty fucked up eh. lol. too much heat.. running lean as i'd say.

turbo charged yi.

you can make your own gasket look like mine, heres what to do:

rebuild you engine with the wrong bolts, or for those bolts that don't fit you can just cross thread them. failing that, just dont bother using them at all!

going for +200bhp, standard head gasket will be fine. i only bought the custom decomp plate for show!!

then put a turbo on there with dogey pipe work mixed with dog ugly shit welding.

then put the car on a dyno, try and map it with the intercooler 80% covered up and waaaala. the charge temperatures will be so high it will cause detonation. dont stop just keep going! then when its off the dyno dont let it cool down, just boost it silly round the block and you will here a gun shot sound, followed by smoke. enough smoke for 'stars in your eyes' lol

there you go

this is what it made on standard head gasket. it would have probably done quite a bit more if other fundamental things were done properly

bit off topic... but did you choose to paint your car that colour or is it a stock nissan colour?

Isn't that the gold colour available in Australia but like all Nissans the paint is flat under the bonnet not gloss.

haha, thanks Jaxx ;)

I'd do my own mapping, but just wondered where to avoid for engine work?

erm, wasn't north east was it? lol.

trying to narrow it down without you saying!! :D :D
