everyone has told me that number 4 valve screwed = something was dropped. but well have to wait and see

i dont remember anything being loose and altho we may be cowboy mechanics, we aint THAT cowboy

ahhh , youv'e lost me.

I said that if a bolt has gone in , there is nothing your mate will be able to do at your place unless he has valve spring compressor, seat refacing tool and a die grinder so will have to go to a specialist.

you wouldnt believe the quotes i got from workshops though. just for removing and reinstalling the head was $400

I actually thought that was pretty reasonable based on the decent shops charge $65ph these days and it would come with a warranty.

btw

Page ownage again . Hehehe

whats the deal with the carbon build up thing?

Engines can get carbon buildup , especially if they have a poor servicing history or are driven sedately.

Changing things can disturb the carbon or a sudden difference in the driving style can shift it.

Ever heard of the freeway tune.

* no worries Gramps , give us ten minutes*

6K down the freeway in 2nd or third usually solves it.

* that will be $100 thankyou Gramps *

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
