By the sound of it Ben our car's will be hitting the road about the same time, Sweet!

Be good to see your car on the black stuff again Ray, i know its been a while between drives for me :D

Thinking about pulling the 25 head off and fitting a 26.

i know you have probably already decided to go for it but the 26 head would be a far better option. the sound of the 6 throttles is nice to.

could you please PM me a price for the Greddy manifold throttle body and possibly tomei cams? for a friend that is.

thanks damo

Thought I would update:

New Tyres, 30mm spacers on the back :down: Straight as body and new paint!

Will add some progress pics! Ignore the unwashed tyres, need to get some tyre shine onto em. Its getting buffed tomorrow :P

Tinted taillights, damage repaired. Front and rar guards rolled. Rear guards flared a smidge, and also the line that usually sits around the arch taken out. (Still in the front guards)

well, after examining the exhaust manifold on the weekend i noticed 2 snapped studs on cyl 6 so decided to take the whole manifold off.. in the end 3 more studs snapped :) so have a total of 5 snapped studs and 7 in ok condition. Will be getting a local guy to drill/ease out the snapped ones and get new studs and gasket in :down:

Make sure you change the remaining seven studs, there would be nothing worse than breaking one on assembly (can happen) or poping one a couple of weeks later :)

yup, sure do plan on replacing them all :)

Where are you getting your bits from? The best place I found was Nissan, I brought new studs, nuts and gasket when I did mine. The manifold studs are an odd length and nissan appears to be the only place that has the right length. :D

yeah, am going genuine nissan, gasket is like 108, studs and nuts are like 20ish.

currently have the following ordered ready to install :-)

exhaust gasket

exhaust studs and nuts

turbo studs and nuts

radiator hosing

timing belt

p/steer belt

alternator belt

water pump

headlights

Motul oil

lots of coolant

power steering fluid

brake fluid

oil cooler and relocation kit

z32 wiring cleaned up

finish off injector power wiring

gauge wiring

new front mount core

reo bar

radiator

also need to bolt manifold back on, turbo, and exhaust and intake piping :) gonna be a busy weekend lol.

well, new exhaust manifold studs in, gasket on, manifold bolted on, turbo studs in, turbo bolted on as well as exhaust to turbo. Inlet pipes all back on. Have a mate coming down this weekend to change timing belt to my new gates belt and also water pump and throw on my new p/steer belt and alternator belt :P

z32 all wired up and plugged in, injectors resistor back all wired in!

all needed now is my radiator support bar bent back into shape and i can start bolting radiator, fmic, headlights and bonnet mount back on. waiting on some replacement pins to mod my pfc up then do fluid flush and the car is ready for tuning :)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
