On the subject of your US participation Si, that AZ-Zbum guy...is he a complete arsehole or just most of the time lol.

West Country at its best.

I noticed this as well, was wondering. Probably an accident.

Water pipe on now, little 30 minute job.

Are you looking for problems gaz? What makes you think it's misfiring?

I'll try calling again tomorrow, hopefully I can pick one up Friday. Then I can put my car back on the Floor. Cheers Jeff I'm trying not to mailorder it to speed things up.

Oddly I was using my left hand, then tried the right and got it fairly shortly after... Odd really.

Lol I tried ringing 3 times useless *******s. It's a pita place to go, I have to drive right round to get there and there's no were to bloody park. I wouldn't mind if I knew I could definatly get what I want.

Yeah, still gotta rely on post which means not till Monday....Nissan is 1/2 mile from my house.

Is it possible to walk into a nissan main dealer buy a z32 oil filter and then walk out with it, not have to wait 3 weeks or whatever while it's shipped from japan or whatever? I need one fairly quickly.

:sweatdrop: actuator back on, that's was a royal PITA. Took me, half maybe to wiggle that top bolt in to begin threading it in, dropped it 100 times in the process, the actuator pin was a piece of piss lol.

Or the deletion of the PCV can decrease the scavenging potential, thereby increasing pressure or rather reducing negative pressure to show symptoms not previously noticed. Although this is a new build so neither of this things should be a factor.

Il leave mine about 4 I recon, takes about 1 and a half hours that time of the day. It's mostly motor way for you though isn't it? My route is primarily A roads.

Got mine, so not me. Just to let you all know, il be there from 6am to help out.

It's hard to tell from the video, I'm guessing it was a cold engine yeah? Idle sounds high, maybe a bit of an exhaust leak...hard to tell.

Get up, get out, get gone boys. If your not early your late, il be there from about 6am.

Also the positive side parasitically pulls on the negative side of the induction circuit. Ie blow by is sucked through the top cam cover vents when on boost rather than pulled in as when on vacumme.

As above really. You shouldn't get positive crankcase pressure from boost, at all. If the PCV should be forced closed even harder with more boost.

LOL great.......

Not on an NA, its not going to be fun but its not impossible, is it passenger side?

Mines loud, and I'm going to work on a way to make it controllably even louder...Sometimes you want quiet, but sometimes you want demonically loud.:devil2:

You could try cutting a slot and hope that it causes enough slack for them to wind out, but you wont have any thing to purchase on as you've cut it all off, you would need to drill and put an extractor on the stud, still involves drilling. You could try some brand new HSS drill bits, you will be there forever with old, blunt bits.

If you've got to go that route in future, cut the other side, through the nut not the bolt. That then leaves the stud as bri said to get hot and get out. Time to unbolt the manifold and try again, sorry mate. If you don't have the equipment or the confidence to drill these out and tap them, may be worth bunging a local fabrication company some beer tokens, wont take 10 minutes. Alternatively get your hands on another manifold. If you've got the cash....I believe hellraiser has some tubular NA headers, he certainly had them up for sale I cant remember if they sold though.

Taking the time getting the starter and downpipe out, I recon was invaluable. The top rear bolt can be accessed from the rear and your arm is happily in the space where the downpipe was, (the starter has to come off to get to the top bolts on the downpipe) I take it from the picture you used some sort of sealant on refit? I haven't as it doesn't say anything about it in the manual, also I didn't have any in stock. All im worried about now is the tree being on square etc as obviously there's not enough space to torque them up. I just nipped all four up, then tightened them off, there about 12-15ftlb the FSM recommends I believe, which isn't much. Actuator clip and 10mm securing bolts still to go.....not looking forward to that I'l be honest.

Take a picture, sometimes it's easier to cut the flange in a v shape and knock the stud out.
