    I think its unlikely that anyone running 390mm rotors will be running stock 34 wheels so you probably won't get your answer from the internet. You will have to actually take one of your wheels and try it on cars with bigger brakes. BTW the bigger the brakes the bigger the unsprung weight.

    First of all how does it drive? Are you planning to modify it? If not it could go for another year or more. If its your daily driver look out for another engine. If not pull the engine out and strip it to see what it needs before deciding to replace it.

    No you have to get the crank machined to take the collar...pump will fit. And buy the cheapest crank collar you can find...its a piece of steel put through a CNC lathe - not rocket science.

    Does your pic show the plug with a relay installed? an end on pic would have been better. In the vicinity of the ecu there is a plug which doesn't appear to do anything and seems just to be a place where earth wires are brought together.

    Another vote for the comp 75W140 diff oil although if you have a super track car for a few extra dollars you can get the Nismo comp gear 75W140 diff oil (also made by Motul to a slightly higher spec). Expensive stuff but you only need a couple of litres.

    Stock coppers BCPR6ES

    Wow time you got some new ones!

    Looking good!

    Pretty sure you can do the valve stem seals without taking the head off. They are cheap - give it a try.

    Bite the bullet - do a compression test.

    Do some Googling: How does a turbocharger work How does a wastegate work How does a boost controller work

    No 1 Stay at home. Covid 19 will not be beaten until it is controlled in every country. Help to limit the number of deaths. No. 2 Post up some pics of your Stagea! No 3 Refer the Stagea section and in particular the big thread summarizing M35 info.

    In general you are better to retain the stock TB when going FF plenum. You need an adapter plate but then the TPS etc is all stock. They are good for at least 500hp maybe more. If you still have it consider returning to stock.

    Roger that.

    Don't think its ever been true. Forged pistons might be hard to come by but not if you order in good time and anyway stock pistons will be fine for 300kw. Neo all the way.

    40 deg day is pretty hot and if your actual temps don't go over 100 I wouldn't worry (best to use genuine synthetic oil though).

    Power FC is not a limitation on power depends on how keen you are to have flex fuel. Plus its not an engine out job if you change your mind later. Reliability is mainly down to a good build followed by a good tune.

    Plenty of Japanese and US brand name products are made in China as are iPhones!

    If you suspect your pod filter take it off and see if the noise goes away. How have you checked for leaks? You need to pressurize the system from the turbo to the throttle. Your turbo is 24 years old and could be due for reconditioning or replacement.

    Looking good...

    By colour. Don't ask me which...Google and ye shall find. Although on second thought they will probably be DE injectors regardless.

    Try an electrical supply store ...they will likely have a connector to suit. Or maybe they don't have one in your town - many of them have comprehensive on-line catalogues.

    You need to run a bottoming tap (apparently Aussies call them plug taps) to clean up the hole. There are special taps called chasers but a carefully used normal tap will do. Maybe use a vernier to compare the depth of the stud holes.
