They are aftermarket castings out of Spain. Non genuine but a mate who works for nissan here recommends I use them over a gen nissan one as it is reinforced around piston 4 chamber where they all seem to crack. This is what they use/ recommend in the workshop over gen nissan heads. Hope this...

They are aftermarket castings out of Spain. N

Just got the results back and head isn't very good. 2 good internal cracks in chamber 4. That will now also be replaced. Apparently the heads out of Spain are the ones to use as they are reinforced is this area from the castings. It will also cop new valves while we are there. So come next...

Here it is, sorry for the delay as I was trying to save $$$ for worst case scenario. The head has come off and looks good, that has been sent off to be pressure tested but from initial inspection it looks fine. The head gasket was spilt near the rear right water jacket. It was split from the...

1310-71, totally agree with that saying. Have had a heap of performance cars and I believe you should run them in how you intend to drive them. If they break in the run-in period, it was never built strong enough in the first place. T54

I was just reading on another forum about head issues and a similar problems came up that someone was talking about. Their issue was about the 2800-2900 rpm you would loose about 10-15psi. It turned out to be a neutral gear switch cutting in. He said if it happens you can just hold the...

I pulled off the road turned the key and it started. Just before I took off our convoy had stopped and I thought Maybe I was driving on...

Hi All, I was under the nav on friday and noticed some clean coolant under the gearbox. I was hoping to find it coming from a split heater hose but after pulling off the intercooler, wheels and underguard plastics and getting a good look at it, I found where it is coming from. This is the...

I am just about to replace the clutch in my D22 3.0. I am putting another xtreme HD clutch back in it. The one in it seemed great, it is now just got a heavy pedal and if we are pulling the gearboxw out, I may as well do the clutch unless it is still really good and the heavy pedal is something...

Proberly a similar induction noise to mine, loud and whistles like crazy. Especially when the passenger window is down. T54

T54!

We have had a bit of time off on the guards over the last few weeks but finally after the last 2 days of getting them right they are on. They will be painted blue the same as the car once I do the backs so I can paint them all together. I am really happy with the way they have turned out, they...

While I had the guards off and had easy access to the bottom of the arch I also ground off the excess metal and cut the seal panel back a little and rust guarded, sealed and painted it all. I them got my heat gun and moulded the factory plastics to sit back in the arch and guess what... no more...
