go look herehttp://mildman.datsunprojects....1.jpg

that ca18 doesnt have what my usdm ca18de has... anyone wanna go look back there on their ca'? somebodies gotta have the extra piece I have. I THINK its part of my non-existant egr system.

i need to plug a hole i got back there... i was gonna rtv it... but now i see black carbon deposits in there... i assume hot exhuast gases will melt the rtv.... stupid usdm. i thought egr was only attachted to the downpipe??

What the hell are you talking about? I see nothing.

ok, i found it... it is an egr related hole.

on ur jdm motors the hole is plugged by a reverse hex bolt!

the usdm one has a 5/16 square hole and i cannot get anything to fit... stupid nissan of america.

looking at the back of the head u can see it on the exhuast side... maybe 1/2 inch dia plug.

THATS what i gotta swap now.... anyone know where to get a 5/16 drive rachet?

I've got a DE also. To get the plug out I ground down a 3/8 ratchet extension to fit. I welded the hole shut and put it back in.

yeah, i almost did that... but i solved it.

About 30minutes ago i got it out. I used a small pry bar that was big enuf to fit diagnaly. i had no level that way, so i put a vyse grip on it to help turn it.

So, the transmission is going on tomarrow, followed by the DE going back in where it lived for 11 plus years. only its got a nice bonus hp gain
