would recommend Autoworx or Xspeed, people who do this quite alot

or how good are you with your hands? If you've got all the bits you could do it yourself.

Did mine myself, not too shabby, a few f*ck ups but thats how we learn, haha

Yea... do it yourself and save heaps of money. Just take your time with it and be sure you got it all right. You have to cut one hole in the chasis for the piping to go through and might need to take a tiny bit out of the bumper, but hopefully not.

series 2 + greddy fmic... he will have to cut a hole and trim the bumper.

I say do it ur self... i did mine my self as well. But i installed a stealth FMIC, so no cutting required.

However, most work shops like xspeed, c red, tenagah can do it for u for few hundred.

Just to add, it did cost me a carton.

The intercooler I have was too thick for the metal support behind the bumper so I marked it out and took it a panel beater, he cut it perfectly and sprayed it for a carton of TED's. (tryed cutting it myself but it was too much for the little ozito anglegrinder lol).

plugs or coil packs

most probably coil packs . gap your plugs down to .8 or lower but it will probably only help temporarily . then buy some splitfires

it's a bit of a long shot, but check that when you fitted your return pipe you didn't knock the plug in your CAS .. i had a problem with a loose wire in mine once and it caused the same issue.

Checked the Cas plug.. feels firms and secure.. its the round thing in front of the engine where now the intercooler runs on top of it hey

U sure theres no leak with ur intercooler piping??

Everything sealed up?

Yeah found the problem br3ndan cheers buddy. i checked the intercooler piping like u said and i found that the hose connection that connects the pipe to the intercooler under the headlight wasnt covering fully and probably was leaking from there.

i feel like a fool now :P

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
