Gtr Blowing Smoke - Help Troubleshoot

[SiR_RB]

change all the heater/vacuum lines under plenum

may aswell put in head studs and torque down to their specs

that connector you broke looks like its the one off the AAC valve, try find a replacement from someone wrecking a gtr or try a wrecker

your onto a good start so far

Looking at what head studs to get, is it worth the extra $$$ to go arp? Or should i get a set of nissan or just reuse the ones i have? They look fine.

Don't think its the AAC valve, it goes onto the block, the pic where i posted the block you can see one up the back, its the same as that one just further down in the pic.

There is also a bare wire, which had just managed to uncrimp itself from another connector, looked like a ground of some kind. as it just goes onto a single prong.

In the 2nd picture i posted, where you can see the cut heater hose. What is that white connector for?

It wasn't connected to anything :\

The black connector in the second picture is for the knock sensor.

The brown one in the top is for the idle control solenoid. You should have put a question for each picture because the first question seems like you're asking about the brown plug.

Anything under 20psi boost and 400hp stay with the standard head bolts. ARP for anything above that.

Fixed, apologies for the confusion.

^ Busted heater hose, and random white cable that was not connected. Brown plugs all good.

^ Broken connector that goes to the block. Think your right when you said it was a knock sensor, as their are two in total?

Re the wiring, so i take it nobody has that spaghetti wiring loom mess at the front of their engine bay? I have a feeling its my car alarm install, still super dodgy way to do it. Thought most car alarm wiring jobs are in the cabin.
