wtf? That would not be 180 degrees out. That's more like 60 degrees out. You are damn lucky!!!!! Precisely why ppl should not attempt major repairs at home unless they have someone who knows what they are doing with them. Think about how many dollars you would have saved if the pistons collected the valves

Nope, 180 degrees out will not bend valves.....it's just like working the engine in reverse. You are very lucky. Buying decent cam gears is a start...only the cheap shitty ones come with two marks....oh and the HKS ones...but once again, shitty.

You could also try reading the number which is printed on the actual bearing

Yeah don't know how good at tuning they are. Sean at EFI is by far the best in the business

I thought so too until I supplied 2 (two) N1 pumps to customers (from Nissan), both cars fitted with crank collars and both cracked the gear. One in less than 5000 kms, and the other in about 12,000kms. Neither car saw over 7000rpm and had aftermarket harmonic balancers. That was good enough for me to lose faith in them completely

Ahh, no.....no machining required

Yeah you can. I had a heap of these made a while back. They are very expensive to have made but for the cost of a new N1 pump, you get unbreakable gears. It's not something that's i'd do all over again but I put one in every new engine I build. Finding wire cutters and gear profilers is frickin time consuming!!!

If you had the piston at TDC and bolted the cam down so it pushed the valves down on cyl 1, say goodbye to those valves. You should never bolt cams down when pistons are at TDC

EFI Performance....can't go better for tuning.....ever (07) 3801 8075 - they are in yatala If you need a link dealer who knows the system well + has a 4wd dyno, then Millenium Motorsport in Tingalpa.

Generally the time I would be quoting is 8 - 10 hours depending on whether it's just gaskets or studs as well or changing turbos or whatever. But 6 - 8 for a straight turbo r and r

If you plod along with it you would probably get it done over a weekend....a lot of swearing and a bit more swearing

no it means your camel is thirsty

I think he might mean the actual input shaft bearing, not the pilot bush. The part number you need for any bearings supplier is 6306 C3N or something with a 3 in the last digits. Don't get a regular 6306, the C3N depicts a extra tolerance gearbox bearing.

yeah see I told you it was fT, not FT

fT - fairly tight Not to be confused with FT - f**king tight

If by easy you mean HIGHLY ILLEGAL? Yes

I guess I've lived in sunny lax laws QLD for too long ..... oh wait, no I haven't sux2Buguys!!!

sounds like a Hardy-Spicer?

no, not personal preference, just experience. Not that there is really anything wrong with a single piece if it is made right, but when made for street applications, anything over 6000rpm and a 3inch tube shaft 2.5-3mm thick and 1.5m long goes critical. This means that if you put enough torque through it, you'll tie it in a knot. You won't do that even to the factory 2 piece one with the same torque and revs. 2 piece tailshafts are stronger and the load is displaced better over two shorter pieces of tube

Andrew - 0402293256 and tell him Daniel from Elite Racing sent you as he normally doesn't deal with public

I don't know that the cylinder head effects the eligibility of it for compliance. The block is made by Nissan and all factory mounting positions are maintained. The do the same with V8's....HQ 308's never came with alloy heads but if you put one of those engines into a different car, they are still able to be certified regardless of cylinder head. Honda is another example with the KA20? with 24 cylinder head or something. Pretty sure it's cylinder block related

Engine change requires certificate

Ring Driveline Services....they are at Browns Plains which I think is the closest to you but expect around $300-350 if they supply the yoke and balance as well

Do not get a custom shaft for $300. Done many conversions and only ever get the Z32 yoke put on. The gearbox is actually more like 3mm different so it make no difference to the length really. If you put a one piece shaft in there, you'll regret it forever

Early Garrett stuff...and yes T04E is the turbo. Journal bearing too so laggier than normal especially in that frame size. These are approx 15year old technology. You'd be better off with a GT3082R or 3582R
