Dropbox sucks for streaming.

I'm lost for idea's. Figured if it was a head gasket it would be constant smoke? Get worse with rpm's as pressure builds up? PCV valve cleaned, made 0 difference. Although it was gunked up and rattled when i shook it (think thats normal)

Going to start taking it all apart tonight...just after i had put my sweet new -7's in :(

Anything else I should be changing while the head gasket is out?

Recommendation's on head gasket? (genuine, after market? Nismo? cometic?)

Edited by Booki

Just replace i with a standard gasket from Nissan. They aren't that expensive and are very good quality.

Get the cylinder head fully recoed while it's out. Valve regrind, stem seals, deck ect.

Get your injectors cleaned right before the head goes back on

Replace all the heater hoses

Still running stock injectors, worth spending the cash to get them cleaned?

Are there better options out their then the standard nissan gasket? While i would imagine they are good quality, I am planning on running 17-18psi boost on the -7's, would the standard gasket hold up? Or should i look at something after market?

Know any places that are reputable to get the head done? And rough costs involved?

We use stock gaskets in applications over 600hp and 30psi boost without issues.

If you do the job correctly, it will be fine

Anybody got any tips for taking the head off?

Both turbos are back out.

Cam gears and belt still on, looks like my cam timing is one or two notches out on the exhaust side...

Do people remove the head with the plenum attached? It looks like a bitch to remove the brackets hiding underneath the plenum.

Honestly surprised myself in how quick I was able to remove the turbos

Well for all those following, Heads off.

Now with the head out, I will send it off for a reco, though in the process their were some casualities. I ended up cracking it and just cutting a heater hose, and a two electrical connectors were damaged. Anybody know where to get a replacement heater hose and this particular electrical connector?

The other I am hoping to just open the connector, and solder/crimp it back down.

In the mean time I am hoping to get a neater engine bay setup, wanting to eliminate some hoses that are not required. Mostly the ones under the Plenum as they were a BITCH to get out!

Also, This wiring looks real dodgy and pox as, I don't think its standard/original wiring. Can anybody confirm? Then i will start following it up and eliminating it. Or at least making it neater.

Top hose in the pic that is broken - get it from Nissan (Usually the first place you should try)

The plug should be the same as Bosch 2 pin standard so I would try Repco etc for those. Pretty common plug. It won;t look the same but should still fit the Bosch 2 pin knock sensor.

The other wiring is anyone's guess

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
