Wow thats a big burrito

Im currently resisting the urge to pull the trigger and engine out the skyline

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh doooooooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttt

ask Bunts he's the man to help you with that

I hope i'm earning that much by the time i'm your age...

I spent quite a few years working for less than average wage gaining experience and struggling financially. Sometimes you have to get lucky (which I was), but I worked hard to be in the right place at the right time.

If you can't see a rainbow on the horizon, pick a new horizon to hike towards :)

Are you going to engine out to fix the head studs Scott?

I want to yes. MAster plan at this stage is to rip the motor out, get the head and block bored it to fit larger studs. Whilst the engine is out it will give me a good opportunity to tidy up the engine bay and remove a lot of unwanted/unneeded parts and probably respray it too.

Engine mounts also need changing. But if i do this it will more than likely effect the cooler piping and exhaust lining up properly

Sounds like a solid undertaking, at the rate I work that's about 3 years worth! ha ha

Hahaha, with the way I've been dropping cash into this car it wont take long. Really need to take a step back and curb the spending for a few months

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
