Cool. Have you run it at the drags? What kind of power is it making?

Yep, except you have to take it off to get to the bolts. Its like nissan just want to annoy us!

Is anything to do with cars "really worth it"?

Wow.

no

So its a pretty serious build? Omly reason I ask is I can see a bolt blocking off a small coolant line in the photo I doubt the leak has anything to with revs or overfill. Its just a leak.

There's an oring behind that bolt. theres oil in there fot the vct to work. Check it out and replace it. I cant see hiw overfilling it would damge it, how much overfill are we talking?

its an rb26 head bolted onto rb30 block. Look in the forced induction section, there's an entire sub forum for rb30 conversions. Heaps of people (all the cool kids) are doing it.

Did they mean longer? bigger diameter makes no sense or difference.

Rebuild. What would bigger lines achieve?

Have you checked the tps is adjusted correctly? ecu codes? temp sensor? as suggested above?

Why do you care? I always turn it off, not mashing the throttle is easily achievable. The way the tcs cuts in is so harsh its ridiculous. Anyway, check you have all the plugs on the throttle bidy and tcs throttle body plugged in correctly.

Trent is from chequered tuning /status. Also, he uses a dynapack hub dyno, which would not provide any inertia to run the engine down slowly after shutting it down.

What do you mean it's detonating when you turn the cas by hand? Why do you think something is wrong with the cas?

Cos even after one dyno pull its heaps hot....

Can't help you but awesome thread title!

I certainly wouldn't want to do that to my turbo. On an NA no worries.

Of course its possible. There is more chance of popping an intercooler pipe or a dodgy joiner or clamp leaking under boost than something leaking in the inlet manifold. 99 percent of time, every time, a boost leak won't be in the manifold.

I just bought an aquamist kit. bit more expensive but as it injrcts based on injectors duty cycle it is easily tuned. The problen with boost referenced kits is 20psi at 3500rpn needs less flow than 16psi at 6500 rpm.

I will grab the coil overs.

Cars that haven't been looked after arent worth buying. especially from owners with no clue. AVOID

Well I have done it with a new gasket and left out the bolt under the inlet manifold, with no leaks. of course nissan put it there for a reason, to ensure no leaks, so not using them means there is a chance it won't seal correctly. I still don't understand why you think that if it leaked some coolant becsuse the bolt wasn't there why putting the bolt back in wouldn't seal it up? cooant leaking past the gaskrt won't destroy the gasket. Anyway, it's up to the op of he wants to risk it. You think it won't work without the bolts, I know it does work without the bolt under the inlet manifold at the front, with a new gasket and no leaks.

He want to design his own shirt though, by copying an existing image that he cant be bothered finding himself

I don't get what you are saying. If there was a leak due to the bolts not being there, I could just put the bolts in and that would close up the gap and fix the leak. The would be no need to replace the head gasket as it wouldn't be "blown". Any way, like I said I'm willing to take that risk.
