  1. Yep, but where is trans seals in sa? I wanted it there and then, factoring in the fuel driving from sa to wa I saved heaps Have you got a pic or part number for that part? Is Not a regular o ring.
  2. It says "oem quality". That's different to saying oem.!
  3. The gauge wire on the pumps is probably 12. Ok for the short distance. I soldered the new wires directly to it and covered with heatshrink. I also offset the joints so they cant touch even if no heatshrink was there, which is good practice anyway. Seems fine with the fuel, as I had the lid off recently to replace the rubber gasket around the lid as it was pretty shagged, but not sure how e85 would go with it. I have been thinking about how I approached this and want to change it as I don't think it's the best way. I am worried about capillary action or the pressure in the tanking forcing fuel up through the inside of the wire out of the tank. I have come up with a new plan that solves that issue, and also removes the need for the plug. Its using a special Bolt/stud combo I found. If you can't get it, use threaded rod and a nut, but you would have to silver solder the nut to the rod to stop the gap in the thread letting out vapour/fuel. I have attached a couple of pictures to show what I mean. Only involves drilling a couple of holes through the lid. That bolt stud thing is one piece, pretty weird! I was asked via pm but figured i will answer here regarding fitting the pump into the standard cradle. I didnt take photos, but it fits in the Stagea cradle with a little cutting, and is secured in place with some decent cable ties, which loop through some holes I drilled in the side of the cradle. Even managed to clip the lid back on. Pick up is as low as it was original, and I have run the tank to below the E on the gauge no worries! BIG TIP Buy a new rubber gasket for the lid. I paid around 30 from nissan for it. Yours will swell up and not fit back in.
  4. What advice are you after? It can only leak through that washer so if the washer is good in good condition just tighten up the bolt, if not replace the washer
  5. haha, yep that's an option! At the moment though it's easier for me to pay a few bucks and get them posted to me.
  6. 7 heat range plugs are too cool for a non turbo, you are likely to foul them. Should be 6
  7. I can't bring myself to pay that much for a simple part. I appreciate genuine is the easy to go sometimes but not for me this time.
  8. What read the outcome here, I am going to be after some soon.
  9. Check the feedback on eBay. If they don't fit people would mention that!
  10. I am running a Garret gt3071 with no restrictor no worries.
  11. If worried about plug changes leave the coil cover off, heaps of money saved!
  12. As it only started one you got the vct working disconnect out and see if it goes away. perhaps something is wrong with that causing the computer to spaz out
  13. I wouldn't bother opening up the plug gaps, that will never fix a miss. Check coil loom, coil plug's and coil packs
  14. What do you mean from the cam cover? like is it coming out of it or out the exhaust? And yes, it could be anything else.
  15. That's just heat shielding. The pipe inside would be fine. stop stressing!
  16. Coolant funnel is nice, or ghetto option like me, peice of old bike tube cut to about 300mm long stretched over filler neck.
  17. What state are you in? I have some you can try
  18. Excellent write up, but took me more than 5 seconds to read
  19. You can take of the oil return and check how much oil is flowing through the turbo. there are specs for how much flow is required somewhere.
  20. Look at their catalogue online, it is huge! The Ebay Sellers would only be selling the popular sizes, not all that speed flow offers.
  21. Speed flow is Aussie made, aero flow made in China. Even if it costs a touch more, buy Aussie!
  22. I would be checking the action of the mechanism, and spraying some dry lube on the tracks to fix it. I doubt its as simple as a wire snip to fix it, because it relies on sensing excess current going to the motor.
  23. That's unlucky, but with modified cars if that's the biggest problem you came across you are doing very well! Drive the car, you can't hurt it. No tow required
