I lost my timing cover and oil pan bolts.... ^%$^&

does anyone know the size of the bolts? i remember the timing cover ones are different lengths. FML

I'll take a trip to nissan for the studs. the last time the car was running i had an issue with injector #4 going dead on me peridocly..... i think the clip was the problem. Is there any non-staple clip style injector clips from a different car that fit our injectors? If not i will rig up some allig...

Here's some progress...we must be almost done because as you can see in the third image - the dipstick is installed: http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/matt_brown_11/IMG_0681.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/matt_brown_11/IMG_0682.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i288/matt_brown_1...

Buummmmp lol...... someone tell me if the timing set is put on correctly. i wanna put it all back togethere today.

Okay, so maybe having it running this weekend was a bit ambitious lol.... However, I did organize the garage and i put the timing set on. I would appreciate it if someone would look at the pics and tell me if i have everything put on correctly. I also found a pic showing the correct way to install t...

Nope, you can use your stock maf.

i would run water/meth ..... but unfortunately your not allowed to run it in targa. I got a question for you Jordan, i know you've had at least one low compression build..... what does your timing usually looks like? ie... how much would you retard it at the distributor? I'm going to be running 91 o...

Ebay. And dont give up on the chip tune. My chips wouldnt have gotten me perfect AF's but if you use it with an S-AFC you can atleast control timing and modify injector pulse width and remove speed limits etc. Thats the plan.... I'll burn a chip with a stock tune rev limit 6300rpm and speed limiter...

Thanks guys - i'll report back with more pics and updates this weekend. Does anyone know of an SAFC II for sale?' i have decided i am not messing with chip burning anymore - its a pain in the ass. If i go that route again, it will be with a full standalone system. Its near impossible to tune when yo...

BUMP! i need to know where this goes, I'm putting the timing set on tonight. My goal is to have this running by the end of the weekend. Does it go on before the dizzy/oil pump drive gear? or does it go on the outside of the timing cover? or in front or behind of the crank pulley?? - i cannot remembe...

No problem. Welcome to ka-t.

Here you go:

are you asking what you should do with your oil pressure sensor?

wow...... so its been a while. lol............. but anyways there is a new DEFINITE goal for the car - my friend and i are going to enter Targa Newfoundland NEXT year. here are some pics.... put the head on today, finally. lol. Also could someone tell us where the metal spacer goes on the crank and ...

man.... i hate when i get BAD HEAD.

It only leans out when your sitting still and you rev it?


i don't have any experience with the SAFC but i would double check that you have the MAF wired in correctly.

probably just a boost leak..... look hard enough and you'll find one lol

What standalone can i get for $550? possible to retain idle control?

sounds good... now i just gotta get an SAFC...... i did the rom tune thing before but **** that. its a pain in the ass driving around and taking notes/reburning chips...... ect safc seems safe with timing retarded at the dizzy. i think timing is what killed it last time - we only have 91 octane here.

Pretty simple question: Do i have to have the head and block resurfaced before i can install the head? or is it sufficient to clean the block and head? What should i clean them with? I have all the gasket material off but it doesn't look shiny. can i use a wire brush on a drill, with rubbing alcohol...

putting the head back together soon, i read in another thread that there is a n oil jet that needs to be installed before i put the head back on.

could someone post a picture of this oil jet? i searched but i can't find a picture of it.

Thanks. it should be back togethere soon.

just gotta lap the valves, and find a IACV and valve cover,

bump? lol should you be able to hear anything as your turn the motor by hand? just the bottom end put togethere - head is a not on.

Bottom end question. i have all the pistons and rods back into the block. Is it normal to hear a scraping sound when turning the crank by hand, with the pistons installed? Also, the crank seems to be easy to turn, then it gets somewhat stiff when #2 &#3 are on the way up. is this normal? Thanks.

I actaully put the bottom end together, seems alright but you guys are right.... **** it im buying new rod bearings.

I have king bearings (had i should say lol.) i'm starting to think this car is cursed. its not the cost of bearings that bothers me, its the fact that shipping is sooo damn slow to Newfoundland Canada. New bearings are gonna hold me up another week or 2 for sure. Ahh wel, no use pissin and moanin ab...

doesnt look like it.... but i dunno i guess you never know with bearings.

i had #3 and #4 rod caps reversed. im a fu#king idiot.

yay........ guess i'll be buying another set of bearings. at this point i might just flip the damn thing around and hope it works out.... kinda gettin sick of seeing the car parked in my garage takin up space. got bruned for $150 bucks off some douche bag pretending to delay my shipment because he w...

No, the crank has not been reground and i'm using standard size bearings. I have all 4 rods in and just snug and i can turn the crank without an issue. I tighten #1 and #2, crank still turns fine. but when i tighetn #3 i am unable to turn the crank. Havnt tried to tighetn #4 yet. so should i try swi...

I finally got a chance to work on the motor a bit tonight - i got all the pistons and rods into the motor and snugged down. i torqued #1 and #2 rods down to 35 ft lbs. but... when i tighen #3, i can no longer turn the crank, even with the crank pulley bolt threaded in. Whats goin on lol?
