hi all

learning a lot about my car over the past few weeks :)

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

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
