HAHAHAHA yeah that seems about right. What I did was put a drop sheet on the floor and had about 6 saturday papers spread outso it was nice and thick to absorb anything. Nothing to stop it dripping and running down your arms though.

I pulled my valvebody out on the weekend and sent it to Mike yesterday. There are sooo many bolts in there its scary. There are about 6 different kinds of bolts too. They are different lengths.

I ended up using 7.5 - 8 liters of HiTemp.

Adam - I have a full unopened canister left over so if you decide to go with HiTemp you can do me a favour and get it of me. :P Let me know.

I've got about 3/4 of one left over from last time. How many litres are in a container again? I know it's measured in Gallons but I can't remember how many of them either.

Also waiting to decide about Racing ATF. Might mix them. I know you can do this.

At any rate, I may just help you out ned. Will let you know in the next week.

Wow. Mine looks quite different to yours but I guess that in terms of unbolting things it's similar. Most of my photos turned out crap. Either too much light or not enough. Very annoying.

This is the only decent one I got and it's of the top of the valvebody so you can't really tell the differences I'm talking about.

It looks like the scene of a murder.

Well I'll never know exactly what the vb will have given me because I am putting in a new turbo at the same time. If I could have I would have done them separately.

Ok the kit is in and it works fine.

Basically the bolts you need to remove to get the thing out are all around the outside. If you look up near the gear shift lever mechanism you'll see that there are about 3 that don't need to be removed.

Also, you'll need to remove the sensors and stuff which I think will take care of the few bolts that are not around the outside that hold it up.

Mike told me there were about 7 bolts holding it up but there are more like about 15-20.

The welsh plugs that you put in go in the middle two holes of the four. I sanded them ever so lightly with 1200 grit sandpaper because I couldn't for the life of me get them in otherwise.

Three springs come out but only one goes back in. It's the lightest (ie easiest to compress).

I needed the jack to compress the spring enough to get the valvebody back in.

Use some longer bolts in the shorter bolt holes to get some bite and get at least 4 or 5 in before you start ratchetting them up because you don't want to strip threads.

I wrote down a little map with the numbers that are on the bolts on it but that didn't take into consideration the fact that there are 3 different lengths of the ones labelled '7'.

It's not a big drama in the end which bolts you use because when you have most of them in you can tell that some are too long so you swap it with others one by one.

Overall it was very time consuming because there are shitloads of bolts and they are many different lengths.

Ok how does it drive?

It is less likely to creep forward if you let off the brake at idle. More likely to roll backwards a little down a hill without brake.

1st to 2nd jumps in quite firmly now. Noticeable but not uncomfortable at low speeds. I am yet to redline it to see if it chirps but been close although I have semi slicks on at the moment. This is the most improved area I think.

2nd to 3rd firmer but still fairly smooth. Not as firm as 1st to 2nd.

3rd to 2nd, very firm.

3rd to 4th, much better at high speed, no firmness but still quicker at street speeds. Changing from 3rd to 4th at about 180km/h it securely and immediately went into gear whereas before it would take almost 2 seconds to slide in.

I dont get chirping, and damn well i shouldnt with full handling and camber kit plus falken semi slicks

from first to second does straife the tail out in a straight line if running higher boost and from standing start

although after having my car tuned i took the exhaust from the frontpipe back off for some testing and gasket replacement and wow was it fast! Flooring it in 2nd going about 60, car just kicks back and powerslides for about 15m

so i currently have the entire exhaust off for a revamp :rofl:

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
