Unfortunately my headgasket started leaking about 3-4months ago, was making 302-308 rwkwk on 19lb on 98. Fixed it in a couple of weekends, Put new nissan headgasket and head bolts. Aiming for 340rwkw and up on e85 :) Anyways here's how it looked when i cracked open the head!

With that cylinder pressure I would be swapping out the factory head bolts for some ARP 625+. Your call at the end of the day... Perhaps you enjoy changing head gaskets. :P

Doing jobs like that is my occupation. If she shits a gasket ill put a mls gasket and uprated head bolts or arp studs

Are you another Kiwi? We only have E85 at two pumps in NZ that I am aware of. There are guys who bring in Sucrogen E85 (works out as like $3 a litre) and we've used this on flex fuel cars: http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living/cleaning-bins/other/auction-634702052.htm

I've got a spare motor, things never break when you've got a spare :D

E85 is still hard work in NZ

Looks like i gotta put a spare short motor aside and wind the boost up. Test your theory

Yeah, still only the two pumps. Taupiri Auto Store have drums of Gull E85 which works out around $3 a litre too, may end up having to go that way

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
