  1. Cheers for the link. The engine cover looks really nice quality and it's cheaper too :) also I was looking for what I thought was just a slam panel cover but they have that and a cooling panel cover... they both have the bonnet latch hole in them. So what's the difference? And which is the better one to have?

  2. I've been fancying a carbon fibre engine cover and cooling panel cover. After searching around on ebay and spotted a couple on there.

     

    Has anyone bought stuff from aerostop (the Chinese one) as the stuff looks alright in the pictures. If you have, has there been any quality or fitting issues?

     

    There's a couple of UK suppliers for the cooling panel cover but not many for the engine cover.

     

    Any help appreciated. Also if this has already been discussed can someone just post the link please. 😂

  3. There was a stillen y pipe for sale on here a week or so ago. Surely not having a flexi would make the exhaust crack? Also the berks HFC say they are for forced induction use. Would there be any gains on having them on a N/A engine?

  4. I've got the clutch and single mass flywheel (thanks zmanalex for the advice and speedy delivery) and the engine is waiting at the garage but the work can't be started for 2 weeks. So I've been reading up and I'm looking to get a stainless y piece to compliment my nismo system and maybe some high flow cats

     

    Only thing is though the only place I've seen these for sale is japspeed. Are these the only or best option? Seen some on ebay but I'm unsure on the sellers and quality.

     

    The car has 86k on it. Do cats tend to go and at what mileage?

     

    Next thing I was looking at was stainless braided and sleeved clutch hose and slave and master cylinder. The only hose I seen was a DIF one and from what I've searched they are only available in USA. Is there a UK based equivalent? Also where is the best place to get the cylinders from?

     

     

  5. I've bought an engine now with 53k on it. So there's no going back now.. haha

     

    I may as well do the clutch at the same time. I have a receipt for a new clutch in the car at 30k which might explain why it's blown now... :/

     

    Where is the best place to get a clutch and DM flywheel from? Are there traders on here that can do a deal? I'll be doing mainly road driving with the occasional but of enthusiasm so I don't think a single mass fly will be worth it.

     

    Has anybody got tubular exhaust manifolds? Is it worth it been as the motor is gonna be out? Anybody have any for sale?

     

    And finally is there a chance I could rebuild the old motor? Or is there no going back from big end failure?

  6. Yeah was a private sale sold as seen. Did all the checks. It'd been serviced every 8 or 9k and I had it for what I seen as good money 6,500 with 83k on the clock. Had a service from my local garage about 2 months ago... I think there must have been thicker oil in and a bit of omitted information because there's no way I've done the big end in my period of ownership

  7. What happened to the engines you guys replaced? I bought a 350 over a 200sx because I read almost everywhere that the engines and boxes are pretty bullet proof.. not pleased! I've only done 4k odd miles and run it on v power the entire time :(

  8. Cheers mate. Yeah it's a rev up engine from a gt4 I've located. Is it best going oem with the clutch and flywheel or should I swap to single mass fly?

     

    The current engine has had new belts and plugs within the last 2 months so that should be cool... Hopefully I can do something naughty with the blown motor if it isn't too far gone.

     

    Also is this the time to go with tubular manifolds been as the engine is out?

  9. According to my mechanic my big ends have gone and my engine it making a terrible racket (at 86k after a service...) I've only done 4k since buying the car. It's an 05 Gt4 around how many hours are involved in the swap? I think I've located an ok engine vq35der I'm just trying to work out the mechanics bill... also will I need to replace the oil pump and where can I get a genuine nissan one that won't pull my pants down on price. Are there any other parts that would be ideal to change/upgrade in the process?

     

    Thanks
