right guys i have most my stuff now here is a list

hks 3037 pro s

hks hi mount

power fc with boost control

tomie timing gears

660cc injector

billet fuel rail

greddy copy intake

Q45 throttle body

braded turbo lines

greddy intercooler

tail 38mm wastegate

nismo timing belt

z32 afm

fuel reg

anyway im think i should do copper head gasket before fitting all up so its done as im going for 280-300 rwkw on stock motor as im unsure if stock head gasket will hold up to it as boost will be up around 20psi

How long is a piece of string.

All depends on tune, health of engine ect ect.

People have run up to 300rwkw with no problem. If you want to get serious about more power then budget for a rebuild incase the sh1t hits the fan.

IBTL

If it's copper the don't seal water that well, great for compression but crap for water, what most people use is steel multi layer head gaskets copper are real old school. standard gaskets in rb30's have been used to 450rwkw+, most people only change from stock because they have the engine apart and why skimp out on a head gasket

so there is no need to worry about it till i need the head off is that what ur saying mate

3 studs in the exhaust side broke when taking manifold off as long as i can get a drill in there i wont need to remove head

what studs are best for replacement of old stock ones

many people run standard i mean nissan head gaskets with no problem with massive boost and swear by them, I run a cometic steel head gasket and would recommend using one but don't wory about it until it's apart or till the gassket blows (highly unlikely unless there is a problem) I would use stock studs but arp might make something?

I wasnt and arnt after 280kw (250kw eventually will be nice) but i still went along in my project (3.5yrs of ownership/modding) for some recent head work

bought tomei cams & springs last june ($ to $ was good back then) and metal head gasget (Cometic brand). also ARP head bolts, and ported head work etc

ready for a GT3076 or a turbo such as yours all in good time, but got a highflow Slide turbo atm.

without catconverter was dyno'd at 226kw with mail-order ecu chip tune & safc/sitc.

IF you are going to pull the head down as part of your project then yeah budget it in, metal headgasket and some touchup of the ports etc.

depends on your mindset I guess........

your stock motor wont last long at 280 -300kw regardless of your tune start saving for rebuild

Obviouisly your wealth of experience speaking here, many people have run over 330rwkw for extended periods. Its all in the components being used, and the quality of the fuel/tune.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
