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 :)

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.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
