I did mine last weekend. I used the hose where the fuel rail ends and goes back to the pleneum, but my brother said if it stuffs up, it could fry your engine.

so i moved it to where the pipe that goes to the BOV and tee it of there. You can basically use any hose that has vacum/pressure.

Didnt have a camera to take pics. can do it this weekend.

- the ole fashion way of doing it. seems to work fine.

on your knees

- common practice in churches

see how u got that pipe running over the top of your engine ..and it goes into that big bendy shape thing.. thats your intake and intake manifold ...on the back towards your firewall ..u should have a fitting on the back for your standard boost gauge....now depending on what boost gauge u have ..u should b able to tee into that .. or remove the standard fitting and fit the new on in thesame hole.

yes?

ok lookin at the engine from the front it should be in left back corner next to firewall, right? im jst confused coz sum1 told me to connect it the hose connected to the boost controller.

The only hole to get thru the firewall is on the right hand side when lookin at the engine from the front so i have to run it around ay.

seriously man its not that hard.

find a vaccum/boost line, T-piece into it and you're done.

again if you dont even know what an inlet manifold is or how to Tee in a boost line then you shouldnt be working on your car! Asking questions on a text based forum isnt going to help much either.

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
