I need a few really simple parts, and the nissan dealership is:

a) 20 miles awayb) overpricedc) dumb

So I thought I would see if any of you, fellow CA bretheren, could help me out. You can even charge me money! just so long as its cheaper than hell. Anyway, without further adeu, here is what i need:

1 coolant line banjo bolt. the one that goes into the turbo.

1 plug that goes into the factory ca18 knock sensor.

1 coolant temp sensor plug (pretty standard I would think).

1 TPS plug.

And if by some miracle someone has a ford edis vr sensor, I need one so badly it makes the baby jesus cry.

I think thats about it. the car is pretty much ready to go otherwise. Please dont make me go to the junk yard monday. Its so hot here your a$s becomes swampy at the mere thought of going outside.

ask and ye shall recieveth!!



Thats where I am right now. Actually, I did a little more after I took this, but this is pretty much where I am. I wired up the injectors and ran the lines for the brake booster and redid the breathers. The picture kinda sucks but I'm far, far too lazy to take another right now.

it has no: pcv system, idle air crap, air conditioning idle crap, wiring harness, support brackets, or breather lines. The brackets that connect the two halves of the lower manifold are gone, and so is the butterfly valve stuff. granted some of that stuff will have to go on, but the majority of it is in the trash.

If you need more banjo bolts, let me know. I've got so many laying around I'm thinking of starting my own currency with them.

It idles with all that crap off because I tell it to, and it had better damn well listen or I'll jam my size 11 foot up its a$s. That and I'm running a stand alone.

I only needed one banjo bolt, but I appreciate all the offers guys! I should be able to start her up this weekend now.
