it was no strings attached (i believe) just send your address and email address, they said it was free http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/ top right corner

yeah its the bcdd that hes describing but tapping on the intake manifold could have loosened up the pcv, because I don't see how a bcdd could effect idle unless one of the vacuum hoses has a hole/crack... could just go outside rev it and see if the bcdd is actually working

he might be talking about the PCV valve if he tapped it with a hammer and it started working... its on the bottom of the intake manni and has a large vacuum hose on it

cool they are giving away one free issue, hope its the datsun edition one

daym those wheels are sexy and im pretty sure looking at the centers (and how effing wide they are) that they are wantanabes good find bro edit: just noticed the side skirt too, another mystery....

and about your issue of the extractor still in the hole, when i drilled out my 10mm hole the extractor came lose and i was able to vacuum it out btw vacum works good for keeping the metal shaving from finding their way into the clyinder head

my $0.02 after having an extractor brake off into my head (insert an emoticon that expresses INTENSE frustration) i say drill it out (i cant remember the drill bit size) re tap it with a 10x1.25 tap and put a 10mm x1.25 stud in that mofo, i did this after one of my new 8mm studs broke not a week after i finished installing everything... if another breaks im converting to all 10mm bolts for my intake exhaust(the 4 intake bolts are already 10mm) if you want to go this direction ill go out and see if i can find that drill bit and get you the size but i will always try using extractors first (by hand not with a drill dohh!) because its a beautiful sight to see that broken stud make its way out

just wait till bleach gets the G-nose on tehe

yes you will need to plug up both ports for the EGR... and dont use liquid wrench for the exhaust one found that out yesterday...

oh god i thought it had a s20 in it for some strange reason untill i reread the thread.. but still dosent take away from what happened, sorry for your loss im glad i don't have that many people like that where i live

the only thing im not sure of when it comes to swapping bumpers is weather 82-83 coupe side bumper trim will work with 2+2s extra rear "girth" i think nismo told me they would work though...

that seems to be the situation most of the time

i was googling for a SR20 swaped 350z just yesterday and couldn't find a single one. GL with the build and keep us posted

i love it minus the roof scoop, stripes, and side pipes... but i guess that's personal preference

lol, or you can do what the PO of this Prelude did and heat all the springs to weaken them... 1:39 may be the most hilarious things i have seen

im going to go get it fixed tomorrow... going open y-pipe though a metropolitan city... this supposed "bolt-on" kit is well... not bolt-on, there's an extra 2 inches in the system that they say "works for everyone else"

well, my Y pipe doesn't fit but I probably should have put it on before I bolted the header up...

i will use this thread as evidence i started it up today and it ran good, a little leak at one of my gaskets but ill tighten it up tomorrow

it already happened twice, and yes it was a b!tch, one i was able to extract the other i had to drill out and retap

well i called MSA today and once again got their world class customer service (they even called later to see if things were ok). its great that they are technicians and know what they are talking about, they told me to go ahead and try the header and if it popped out my studs the would replace the header and the studs... i tried it, it worked!!! well so far my advise to anyone in this type of situation is to call MSA first also i wish motorsport auto would make some "I ♥ MSA" stickers cause i sure do

when i first saw that pic in super street i thought that too but i think it is just that they are new and still are still bright amber i cant remember what his name is but the owner frequents here, he could clear things up

it might be, were both of the ones you got coated? lol im going to call them at lunch tomorrow (then it should be 9:00 there) and see if they will send me a legit one... i just hate the fact that i have to wait 2 weeks now for a header i ordered a week ago... i love you MSA but this is NOT COOL!!!

I emailed them but i don't expect a reply today... i wanted to get this done today but if it is messed up id hate to be out $324 or even worse end up with a warped head... ill call them tomorrow and see whats up... i just would expect that this would be something that would be a quality control check point and that's why i thought it might be an intentional design...

i went to put the header on yesterday and noticed it wasn't flush... its bowed by about 4-3mm if i push one side down flush, but if i push both sides down i can get it to within 1mm flush with the surface... is it supposed to be like this? MSA closed at 1:00 yesterday so i couldn't ask them and i really wanted to get this done today... thank you
