Imho judging by the increasing text speak posts on here and wanted ads for consumable cheaper items id say prices are falling :scared:

The shells are different,the intercooler pipe brackets are missing on an n/a and the rad mounts are different also.keep the same loom as its identical apart from the wastegate solenoid plugs.Buy yourself a boost controller to sort that problem out.

I import my engine parts from the states,if you found a seller here thats all they would do then sell it on to you.You probaly wont find a uk vendor with those parts on the shelf.I personally dont get the kits as they dont contain all the parts youll need to do proper refurb.Expect to spend £1400 on the parts needed to your front door with taxes paid etc.

Much more rewarding doing it yourself Mikey.Have a go why not.

Im sorry to put a "damper" on it but once cars are flooded its the beginning of the end.Flood damage is the worst kind of damage as you cant see what havoc its caused,but give it a few months down the line.The car could be fine but it also could turn into your worst nightmare.

let him cut the seats and valves then do the rest yourself,quick lap of the valves,new stem seals then rebuild,jobs a good un.Not that involved really.

Sorry to say this fella but i would get rid of it,once its had water go through it will prolly lead to all kinds of problems later,once it gets into the electrics and the corrosion starts its game over,then theres the damp smell to contend with.Shame it looks a nice motor too.

standard settings will be fine,it shouldnt matter what suspension mods you have.A custom set up is only good for race or drifting of if you have a preference on the how the car feels on the road.

Your not getting the heads refurbed whilst leaving the bottom end untouched :nono:

npt Allan deffo.

well on yer way there mate.You can lose the steel pipe in front of the dipstick and join your hose where it once connected further back getting rid of the join between it and the actual turbo feed.

Ive had one for a couple of years.Well made t shirt not a fruit of the loom el cheapo.

8 mm id silicone hose is fine for coolant bypass as other peeps have said.

look up a book bud called "the curry secret" its full of recipies that i use,the book is written by a guy whos run curry houses.it describes how to make the basic sauce they use and the results are really good.

Im curry mad,have a curry cupboard filled with spices.Im getting into my lentils at the moment.tarka dhal and so on.But i do like veg stuff also,i love okra as a side dish,Vignesh (sumshiftyguy) has tried some Dhal i made and he gave it a thumbs up,I think my fave curry is Garlic chilli chicken masala with extra chillies.i love that with a nice Keema naan :chef:

Ive put to bed a 46k M Powered bmw Z4 in my car,mines a manual with 435rwhp.The guy was humble about it though and said he was amazed it beat him.

yer best getting forged pistons and cometic gaskets for longer life and piece of mind as you say mate.

Only the most serious h/gasket fails show on a compression test,and i mean serious like mine had when exhaust gas comes out the rad filler.a block tester is by far superior for checking smaller less obvious leaks.If the cooling system wont bleed out and system refuses to hold water its almost certainly head gasket failure.

My advice to you is to energise the injector with some wire across your battery,have the plug out and look down the hole.you should see fuel spraying into the cylinder,that will eliminate the injector bud,if you want to test the electrics i can lend you a noid light which plugs into the loom and flashes with the ecu signal.It really is prolly quite simple.

Buy a selection of different diameter steering wheels,when u want to adjust it fit a different sized wheel,easy eh :lol:

Best to wire it properly to the ecu,if you earth it the car will constantly think its being driven and idle will be high as aac valve will be held open.

Its prolly sat on someones coffee table as we speak propping up a beverage of some discription :lol:

And remember to wire in the gearbox neutral switch to the ecu,tells the car your driving off so it can advance the timing.

Nice pic,not that im jealous Lol,o rings are $40,the adaptor kit is $168 to buy alone, and yes the set ive got is EXACTLY what you needed.

8mm id silicone pipe is what you need,it doesnt have to be reinforced either as the normal stuff will cope.id use the Stock nissan pipe clips too,they are sprung for a reason.as the pipe expands and contracts the clip will retain tension on the pipe whereas a jubilee wont.I know people that have used jubilees ok but id imagine after the pipe had shrunk they could work loose.i prefer the clips and think Nissan used them for a good reason imho.
