Guys,

Took the ceff out for a decent spin around my area today, found a few things wrong :down:

and help would be awesome.

1) powersteering is on and off

theres no leaks, has plenty of fluid, belt is good.

either the rack or the pump is dying?

What can be used to replace the stuff items from other models of nissan?

2) Missing /spluttering on boost

Running a gt2535, new platnuim plugs, gapped correctly, everything seems ok.

might be down a coilback?

keeeping in mind that its running a stock ecu

any idea's?

3) strange idle

doesnt want to idle, then it does, then it does at 1500rpm.

Im sure ive red something about the acc valve in here.

Cheers :P

pretty sure its the rack in the car Dan, ive changed the pump, checked belts, bled the lines etc, the only thing i was going to do was change the rack and the ends. should sort it out, but before i got it all running the power steering used to only work once the car had warmed up, weird. also, S13 rack is what they have, but get an S14, aparently a little extra lock :D

not sure about the missing on boost, never had a prob, but that was with stocko turbo (stock ECU) and also with a 2530 HKS running PFC.

Idle, not sure, something to do with the Acc valve, i think softy unpluged it and it idled fine, so not really sure. only happened after we swapped over the engine, but we used all the same accecories, used the same loom etc. was stumped on that one, maybe an auto elec can shed some light. maybe try cleaning the idle control valve as it was sitting around for a few months before i got time to do the swap?

good luck with it! i miss sliding the old girl now :) currently looking for a new car to pig out :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
