DJRIFT Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thinking about pulling the 25 head off and fitting a 26. i know you have probably already decided to go for it but the 26 head would be a far better option. the sound of the 6 throttles is nice to. could you please PM me a price for the Greddy manifold throttle body and possibly tomei cams? for a friend that is. thanks damo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/91189-whats-going-on-with-everyones-cars/page/37/#findComment-4489974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wogboy Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 yup, sure do plan on replacing them all Where are you getting your bits from? The best place I found was Nissan, I brought new studs, nuts and gasket when I did mine. The manifold studs are an odd length and nissan appears to be the only place that has the right length.
