Suspension Bushes
Ive done a few bushes whiteline pinapple rear subframe locking rings.And the 4 rear hub bushes in the alloy rear hubs .I made a puller tool up for these .Also done the bushes in the short rear traction arms ,subframe end .These bushes are all the same s13/s14/r32 etc apart from the rear wishbone bushes which are longer .I got mine from powerflex but can be cheaper from driftworks.Rear upper arms are the same as well i changed my arms for cusco rear uppers .Feels alot tighter now .Im going to fit a kazamma hicas lock bar soon with nearly new r33 gts/t hicas arms which are the same as z32.

Mines Ecu Help
Id say bad to use 95 ron on a mines ecu.I have one fitted and keep to 98/99 ron fuel.The mines ecu is for japenese domestic market cars using there own fuel normally 100+ octane.I think you may get dett if used on 95 ron.

best stuff for under car protection
Am i right in thinking jdm cars have under seal the same as uk models .I know some jdm versions of uk cars dont have under seal eg 200sx and 180sx same car jdm 180 has no under seal and rot like an alfasud in the uk.

water to tubs bypass & ......
As far as i know oil supply is for lubricating the trust bearing only .Water feeds run around the turbo housing but it doesnt do a lot of cooling because the water is boiling due to the temps the turbos operate at.The catch tank will breath to atmosphere on one side [maybe via a filter]but it has to have good size inputs and outputs on the oil catch can end to avoid backpressure build up.

Fuel Filter
You cant check or open it .You can get from nissan dealer too.

water to tubs bypass & ......
Make sure you get a catch can with good size outlets .Lots of the cheap ebay ones have too smaller outputs and pipe, they cause a restriction in the breather system .Go for a greddy /hks/arc.As with water feeds Silvia enginering always didnt bother with connecting them on the ca18det 200 sx engine .Not sure on the vg engine .

Spigot Rings
Most jdm after market wheels tend to have a 73mm centre bore to allow for multiple 5x114.3 pcd hubs .You need a 73mm to 66.1 ring i have a set on my advans 73mm marked on one side and 66.1 on the other.If its not 73mm measure inside of the wheel where it mates against hub .Most alloy wheel shops will have various sizes in stock for about £1 each .

Water pump
I thought it was a bad idea to fit water pump with cambelt inplace because of water and antifrezze going all over the belt isnt good .

My Zed Dyno Figures...
Jasma is a bit like a uk kite mark of quality and [noise regs] i think .Try looking on the boxes for any stamped manufactures logos. katamoto /trust/hks/apexi/veilside/blitz/seem popular on jdm cars.

Windscreen
There a bitch to get out without breaking and if there chiped even more so.Also uk cars have a blue tint screen and jdm cars have bronze tint .
