do i need any grease/gasket goo as well?

easy enough to do while i'm changing spark plugs?

also, CV boot replacement quote of $200 (front driver side only). is that reasonable? or should i get a quote from a specialist CV place?

many thanks all :)

looks like i need some gasket silicone too?

would Nissan sell the gaskets cheaper?

^^I'll see your $120 for a cam cover gaskets and raise you a full OEM engine gasket kit delivered for $200.

They were wanted in a hurry.lol When you live out of the city it is difficult sometimes getting parts.

When I pull down the G to turbo it I will take you up on that offer.

this is what i need, yeah?

have asked whether it will fit the Neo engine, and about the half moon seals

I would also consider paying the extra for a full gasket kit and sticking whatever you don't need on the shelf. Usually within 2 years you will need one or more of the other gaskets.

If you haven't done a 100,000km service, consider ordering the "60,000 mile" service kit while you are at it and get him to combine postage.

thats the guy i got my timing belt kit from

$260AUD to my door!!!!!!!! and it was all genuine nissan stuff too (the kit had waterpump and the pulleys too)

and it was here pretty quick too

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
