First thing to check is if you have bad body ground.

I got 20mpg towing a 5x10 foot u-haul trailer with a 280zx turbo. The turbo failed so I removed the T fitting, unhooked the wastegate actuator, and slid a very thin shim between the drain and the tube to block exhaust gases. So it got 20mpg towing a trailer at 3400rpms with 7.4 to 1 compression, the exhaust wheel seized and the intake wheel rolling around in the housing.

I ran a 1980 280zx turbo into which I put a 3.9 R200 and that car ran hard right up to a very abrubt wall at the same rpm every time. Now with stock gearing, it happened at the same point on the speedo but I was going a whole lot faster. My point is that with the 3.9 gears it was easy to run it into what feels like a limiter.

It's for the gauge but you see it on later cars that aren't even turbocharged. I think the non-turbo cars that use the boost sensor could be possibly using the data to determine instant mileage used on displays though most use pulse width, vehicle speed, temp....etc. to do that. It may also be used in some cars to determine high rpm a/c clutch cut-off.

Good table with good vice and a hammer.

LOL at some weasels making up a new term for something that's been practiced ever since internal combustion vehicles showed up. A RD28Ti in a S130 would be sweet.

I'll measure the infiniti m30 axles I have since they are exactly the same length and share the inner side hardware. The flange on the stub axle side is larger diameter so you need it is well.........if they prove to be thicker/stronger....they may not.

Check the with guys who do this all the time. http://www.improvedtouring.com/ Make sure to set your preferences for more than 30 days or you won't see jack.

Since a very similar tranny came on the pathfinder 2wd models, I would assume the clutch application to work with that tranny as well.

Is this a symptom or the problem..........have they been separated? If not, check the ground between the negative battery terminal and the body. (it's right there next to the battery) Most likely an alternator but you might want to see if a lifted ground is causing your symptoms or whether it has caused the alternator to charge it's little heart out and killed itself.

This stuff is also available at harbor freight. One early trade name was Alladin Rod and I've used this to repair anything from a beer can to aluminum boat props. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=44810

Then you've got that pesky egr valve.

Water inlet is those two hose barbs on the ends while water outlet is the exhaust outlet itself.

L24e should be the same sump. Just make sure your turbo has the separate elbow from the wastegate housing (280zx turbo style) so you can fabricate a downpipe that will clear the steering shaft.

If the car has ever been jumped with the battery backwards, your injector drivers will be fused to ground which leaves the injectors on all the time.

Get tires that have good wet weather performance.

Just don't tell him "the tornado" is nothing more than a restrictor and he will soon install it becaue of market hype.

Marine exhaust manifolds possibly?

I rebuild plenty of high mileage turbos and the only coking of the bearing I see happens in the brief time between the turbo drain becomes clogged and the turbo removed for repair during which time a volume of oil is trapped in the turbo which ensures the oil will sludge/coke/ash....etc because it has no place to go. It's very hard for a turbo to pass oil unless there is pressure in the return line whether from excessive blow by or from a clogged or restricted return. 90% of the ones I have seen have chunks of carbon/coke accumulate at the 90% angle on the oil return tube where it meets the pan with the turbo above being pretty clean. You can be creative in your water routing to take advantage of convection which is how early cars cooled the entire engine. I did this on a maxima in which I rebuilt a very high mileage Z31 turbocharger that had a crack spreading from the wastegate hole 1/3 the way around the housing with nothing more than replacing the bearings (re-used seals) and it's running fine 40,000 miles later. I don't sit in the car but instead turn it off and leave right away.

I have 40,000 miles on a MN47 head with the turbo stuff bolted up.

Only if the cooling passages were changed to deal with the lesser amount of heat needed to be taken out if the liners indeed do insulate enough that nissan felt the need to change said passages.

This car uses a flap door air flow meter.

My question is why? Most turbo damage from lack of thought is done when the car is cold. Most oil passing is the result of a clogged return line.

Almost exact same systems the SCCA GT racers use in their datsun 510s but possibly with more flow rate.

Remove drivers kick panel and lean down to wiggle the harness and connectors on the ecu while driving. (dangerous if you can't see) You will most likely find it affects your car but wiggling it can also temporarily break connection such that the resulting open loop operation helps cover up the problem.
