Actually no turbo bolts on. It its held on with nuts, not bolts!

If you add more preload it will make the boost curve worse, like 20psi dropping to 14. Adjusting the preload won't change the point at which the diaphragm in the actuator operates.

Its not like you have to set it that accurate anyway.

Definitely not normal. The only thing that controls the pressure is the regulator, so pump on means pressure at injectors, its notlike the ecu can somehow drop the pressure when the pump is on. Had this car actually run previously? sounds like you have some issues

As the o2 sensor is a narrow band, it can't really show the afr, only when it is at 14.7 . I think at the end of the day plugging in is pointless if the car is running well.

pretty sure the e85 pump is not drop in. I have one, it is in but took some mods as it is a fair but bigger than the actual drop in pump, and it draws heaps more current.

search! then with your new found knowledge make a decision on what to waste money on

No one has ever fitted any boost controller to a skyline. Prove me wrong! (hint, search)

Turning off a cylinder won't check for a misfire, it will just pin point which cylinder has a proven. Plugging in would give you stored fault codes.

r34 turbo water lines are m18x1.5 not sure the helicoil trick would work, probably only works with the coarse threads.

at least she is hot!Also,I wonder what housing the apex seal would tap on?

Depends what you mean, and what you are planning to do when you find them, and find they are solid lifters. To answer your question, it is not a big achievement to get to the lifters. Surely that is obvious!

What do you mean by started up and was fine, apart from head gasket failure? Did the head gasket just somehow fail while you put on a new inlet? did it make that noise before the head gasket was changed?

Considering one has snapped due to over tightening, I would definitely be replacing the rest.

There is no water seal in the turbo, the water runs around the core, so there's no way a turbo could leak water internally.

yep.

Mahle Pistons Nissan RB30DET(Skyline) 86.5mm Bore NIS264405I05 available on ebay for around 800 delivered, will check local prices. These seem to be the go. Its so good when a piston manufacturer gives the head cc's when stating comp ratio! **edit, bit concerned by tiny skirt for daily use, don't really want loud pistons.

** Just found out acl dont make pistons anymore?? **

Yep, I'm convinced. Obviously its a combination of a few things that make the neo head far superior, so going away from that head would be retarded! Looking at piston choices, and comparing chamber volume of a RB30e/t to NEO it seems if I gett the RB30ET pistons with a 4.5cc dish i will end up slighlty higer than the claimed 8.5:1 , which would be spot on. http://www.aclperformance.com.au/NissanRB30ETForgedPistons.htm and from webbers guide As listed in a previous section The head combustion CC's are as follow: RB30E/T 55CC R32 RB25DE 62CC R33 RB25DE/T 63-64CC R34 RB25DE/T 50-53CC R32/R33/R34 Rb26DETT 64CC Deck height to be machined to set compression ratio. So my question is, have people used them? I have searched like mad and havent found concrete evidence of success, just some people that were planning on using them. My concern is piston to valve clearance. Any thoughts are appreciated.

What do you mean"rattled gunned its mum off" you have said it a few times. Is that some kind of saying? Well done fixing it!

Spoon feed time.....

Check the switch on the pedal. there's not much to go wrong!

but someone will answer it, and the cycle continues.....
