Well its alive again... no leaks and idles pretty good :> now off to the dyno.

OOpppsss sorry already installed the head. Nothing special just squish removed and intake runners smoothed out. The head did have to be clearanced for the cams.

Well after further review…. It was the HG you can see in the pics the missing material. That was exactly were it was leaking from between the head and block. The Cometic looks a lot better and is visibly thicker even though the old one was supposed to be a 1.2 mm also Water jacket passages are over twice the size of the old one to so it should flow more water thru the head.

Well I got everything off…. And the good news is there is no real damage. The head gasket looked like ass though. Missing material here and there look like it may have been reused several times. Anyways here are some pics of the disassembled head and block. Hope to have everything ready to go back together Sunday night before I go back to work.

Got the motor stripped down to the long block last night. I have to pick up a pulley puller today so I can get that ATI damper off. Then the cams and head... tonight should have a good idea what is causing my leak :> Thanks goes out to ANDY for hooking me up with a cometic HG thing looks pretty good. Hope to have everything back together and back to the dyno soon for some more tuning. Once we get it close I can concentrate on all the safety crap that has to be updated to run at the track.

I did a keyword search for yellowbullet and got Zero hits. So i will assume it has never been posted I recently got turned on to this site and it is absolutley rediculous how much good tech info it contains. Check it out.. lots of turbo v-8 stuff http://www.yellowbullet.com

actually the 6200 quote is way hi i was referring to the 3200 quote.

Sounds right HKS ♥♥♥♥ aint cheap but its good :>

Send some pics my way please stony7@gci.net

anyone? maybe a relatively rust free donor car?

If you'll notice I tried to leave the tabs for the over fenders but with no lip or inner fender the rear 1/4 are extremely flimsy. :

Well in my haste to get the red car done I cut up the rear 1/4 panels to make the rear tire combo fit when what I should have done was buy another set of wheels with the right offset. The rear 1/4s needed replaced anyways... they had lots of bondo. So my question is where can I get a set of steel or fiberglass fenders. I have seen the links for different places but I’m looking for more feedback on peoples experiences with the different makers. I plan on replacing the stock ¼ panels the cutting and enlarging the wheel wells maintaining the stock appearance. Thanks in advance :sour: :sour:

I had mine solid mounted and had about an 1/4 inch

Smelly HP???? Z's in general are smelly.... you don't just get rid of the Maf sensors and run it. If thats the way you understood it i guess i simplified it too much. the MAF sensors are the air flow restriction. Get rid of them and go to a MAP sensor allows you to get rid of the MAFs. if you want to stay with the stock ECU you can upgrade to z32 MAfs. this is better then stock but still not better then open turbos. The stock ecu will require special equipment to do the ROM tune. If you have access to this and a tuner that can read the ecu data then go for it.

In Japan back in the day you could take a skyline in and get it rom tuned on a dyno for about 50000 yen ( 500 bux) As soon as you changed anything you would have to get it changed again. As long as you built it the way it was going to stay you were ok..... My suggestions would be go with a standalone. The plug and play computers are usually designed for the car the engine was in so wiring knowledge and know-how is necessary. A standalone that uses it own sensors like halteck, SDS ECT is what I recommend every day of the week. With that said im using the HKS Vpro. At this point I'm very impressed with its capabilities. Only one draw back is it has to be tuned by a trained HKS tech. For that reason I would not recommend it to anyone unless you have access to one and are friends :>

Where the EF do i sign up to buy one of these.... betcha an rb would fit in it just right

Just had to dig this up.... this motor sounds freakin crazy!!!

Getting rid of the MAFs is what really uncorks the rb26, that and a hi flow exhaust. I had SDSEFI and was able to tune it to have a really nice idle and well fumes i think thats something most Zer's have to live with.

2500:eek:

WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? I'm not buying im selling

It's gone... new owner picks it up tonight. too much work to get up to standards and i dont have the time. there will be another

Greedy is the cheap chinaman knockoff. OH OH OH i have an idea ......I might just go over to freshalloy and stir some ♥♥♥♥ up again :>

I drove it up and down the street this past weekend. but no nothing new. still waiting on my HG to get so i can swap it out.

That pretty much sums everything up ;>
