Yes i know i wont regret it now that yall have helped me convince myself about doing the head all over again i think its actually really fun ienjoyed doing the cams valvesprings just head work, and putting the new metal headgaskit on. At first when i installed the new parts in my head i was like alittle iffy and not so sure about taking the head off in general.

I just want to say Thanks a million guys i really appreciate it alot for all your help.

yea feel ya man

well im actually replaceing the gaskit on my KaaZ 2 way diff and changing the fluid in it i also might paint the pumpkin.

[idahotuner]

hey man have you checked out my build thread. i have updated it and am updating it even more

[tercel drifter]

am i just crazy or does that t3/t4 look huge?

[Slideways^Jordan]

heres a pic of my diff it sucs i took it with my phone. I went to auto zone and bought the copper spray-a-gaskit and my ARP headstuds and APEXI 1.1mm metal head gaskit was shipped today so i should have them real soon. And my backorder from frsport.com was finally shipped today i got S13 SR AICV gaskit, S13 SR throttle body gaskit, Apexi Z32 Air filter kit, Apexi pen style turbo timer in Black, Boost source 14 inch stainles steel lockties and 8 inch stainless steel lock ties and 2 turbo timer harness for both of my S13 240s.

[Slideways^Jordan]

am i just crazy or does that t3/t4 look huge?

Yeah its a pretty big turbo and for a T3/T4

[srdub-t]

i am positive it was not metric. 5/16 is what i used i think. now that i think about it casue it wasnt 1/4 and it wasnt 1/8

My bad i thought he was talking bout the stock head bolts. for removing the stock head bolts the size is 10mm

[srdub-t]

also for installing head studs you dont need the tool. Your supposed to go hand tight with them.

[idahotuner]

hand tight?

i tightend mine to 20

[srdub-t]

yea i was a bit spektical about hand tight myself so i called arp and they said literally hand tight. the only reason the allan hole is there is for loosening. but im sure ur fine

[Slideways^Jordan]

Awsome.. Thanks for letting me know about the Head bolts that really helps alot.

look what i got in the mail today from Askme4parts im still waiting for the Apexi Head gaskit from him i hope it gets here soon.

yall think this CLR will work to clean off my Block before i paint it the Aluminum color also here is a pic of what the block looks like with i think it calcium build up from the salt water in all over Japan. When i got my front clip about 2 yeas ago it was coverd in that calcium build up looking stuff.

hey dude looking good. waht do you have pic of your turbo oil return for.

[Hijacker]

ARP instructions say you should tighten the studs hand tight then place your head on the block and go through the torque down process for the nuts.

[idahotuner]

hey i got my thread updated check it out

[Slideways^Jordan]

hey dude looking good. waht do you have pic of your turbo oil return for.

Yep i saw yours it looks really nice with your 2871R and is that a Megan manifold?

Look what the mail man dropped off today time to start the head removal.

APEXi 1.1mm metal head gaskit and the badass HAMMER shift knob from AMS only $18.95

[idahotuner]

nice shift knob dude. i went to install my V1 short shifter today, and it isnt working right. i dont really know waht to do with it. it is suppose to work with he sr but yea.

Thanks man. hey do you have a pic of the V1 short shifter id like to know more about that. what do you mean its not working right? oh nevermind I know which one your talking about now, i really hate the V1 i dont like how their designed to be used in the stock shifter plate. I also really dont like the ring

The short shifter that i use is the Megan Racing Version 2 and i absolutly love it. I love it so much i bought another for my CA S13 its same as circuit sports V2 and similer to the B&M short shifter.

all the version 2 takes to take off is four allen head screws.

But I do advise use not to use the the bushing that comes with the shifter, use the stock bushing or a new one from the nissan dealer the part# is 32861-H7301 i always keep 5 extra in my Glove box lol. Its circled in red i found out the hard way mine broke while i was in the process of drifting at one of my local drift days
