Unfortunately my headgasket started leaking about 3-4months ago, was making 302-308 rwkwk on 19lb on 98. Fixed it in a couple of weekends, Put new nissan headgasket and head bolts. Aiming for 340rwkw and up on e85 :) Anyways here's how it looked when i cracked open the head!

With that cylinder pressure I would be swapping out the factory head bolts for some ARP 625+. Your call at the end of the day... Perhaps you enjoy changing head gaskets. :P

Doing jobs like that is my occupation. If she shits a gasket ill put a mls gasket and uprated head bolts or arp studs

Are you another Kiwi? We only have E85 at two pumps in NZ that I am aware of. There are guys who bring in Sucrogen E85 (works out as like $3 a litre) and we've used this on flex fuel cars: http://www.trademe.co.nz/home-living/cleaning-bins/other/auction-634702052.htm

I've got a spare motor, things never break when you've got a spare :D

E85 is still hard work in NZ

Looks like i gotta put a spare short motor aside and wind the boost up. Test your theory

Yeah, still only the two pumps. Taupiri Auto Store have drums of Gull E85 which works out around $3 a litre too, may end up having to go that way

    • If you are genuinely considering trying to get this engineered, I would strongly advise finding the engineer that is happy to sign that off first before you put the hole in your car.  I've seen cars get defected for this and not be able to be put back on the road as no engineer they spoke to was happy to sign if off.  
    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
