Hey i have a DR30 that is running a different ECU, and thus running multicoil. I didnt have it running on the standard ecu for long, and as such do not know which wire is the signal wire. To save myself from ripping the cluster out, would someone be kind enough to point me to the wire off the standard coil to the tacho? A pic of the wire would be great too!

Cheers,

Steve

Ive just had a look, and there is a connector that goes to where the coil was, and has 2 black and white wires running from a commn point. Im assuming the ecu got one and the tacho got another?

Man its really easy to pull the cluster out.

The 'octaganalish' cluster surround piece has 2 screws up top near the perspex, and 2 more underneath, below teh hazard switch and power window switch.

To undo them takes 10 seconds each.

Then the switches just need each plug un-clipped. careful not to damage teh de-mister as its fragile.

then the screws around the cluster itself.

All up it takes 5 min easy.

Put in some LED globes while your in there!

If youre stuck for witring diagrams, have a look online for the S12 Silvia, there is an FJ20det manual for them on 'fj20.com' or something like that

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
