Don't know the name of ours but was around £500 15 years or so ago, and we installed it ourselves, I was the lucky one who was tasked with tensioning it up (partly because I was the one who had lost the tension when I opened it up - was sent pre tensioned) and in doing so almost broke my wrist...

Been in japan this last month and for the vast majority of that time I have seen very little fun or interesting cars, aside from the one or two rx7s in the first week, and I'm not counting anything European as that seems to be a taste over here. Starting seeing fun things as we came closer back...

Last set that I got for my car we got from our local Nissan dealer (5 years ago) they were ok for things now and then, but that ones been flattened, and the second closest is now a tesla garage. But if you've got one close it's worth a chat.

To create the same volume due to their decreased length before entering the downpipe?

It's not rust, it's rust deposits with other crap. The body is cast aluminium so non ferrous so the citric acid is OK to remove some of the deposits but little else, is what I'm finding. I've currently got all mine cycling through citric and detergent and a touch of something else secret. The...

This makes sense that on my 4 hole the 4th is blanked and my 3, the 4th is yet to be drilled as all UK cars and engines. I guess I'll go with the 3 or 4 housing to future proof myself for going efi (but that's years away).

This is exactly what I was asking, good answer. Now do I have a spare switch, the answer is I'm not sure, there's heaps of things I still need to go through and it's likely to take years. So probably don't rely on myself.

Hey guys, I have a conundrum, which is mostly a question. Building up the l28 and through all my spares I have 3 options for thermostat housing. I have a two hole, a three hole and a four hole. I'm fairly certain the two hole was from the 260 originally. And the three and four are both from...

Hey guys, not sure if it's specific to the f54 block or it's just all l28s that have this pick up. Needing a gasket that suits the filter carrier. Also anyone interested in the one I have (it's useless to me) you can have for free, just shout. The bad picture is my rough measurements. Give or...

Was certainly an interesting read, and I'm glad I went to the effort with the makeshift punch press. I would've gone felpro but I think they were out of stock when I bought all my stuff. Or maybe it was something else. But all fitted now and am happy, ended up being a productive day.

There was 7 water holes between the two that just wasn't there. So I managed to hack my hole punch apart, mount it into the drill press and I'm pretty happy with the mating between the two now. I just really wanted to get it together so it wasn't one more wasted day Cheers

Hey gents, there's certainly one of you that have an idea on this. About to fit my head back on after some time apart. The gasket that I've got (ITM - rock auto) doesn't quite line up between the head and block F54 P90 combo. I had a second gasket and that was very similar. If anyone has one...

Hey gents, I'm finally getting around to rebuilding the engine in the next few days, I swear my old man used to use a gasket sealer on the water ways of the head gasket. My question is what's your guys thoughts opinions on gasket sealers be it rtv or the blue stuff on the head gasket and in...
