hey anyone got a decompression plate they wanna sell me? needed to be new in box thanks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

dont do it man just run a standard nissan gasket and a cooler

unless your planning to run over 15psi dont worry bout it dude. genuine nissan is the besy way to go. mine lasted 3 years on 14psi that way...

what about timing ? leave everything standard and just getting nissan gaskets? will it be ok to run without a cooler for a couple of weeks

so long as you dont ping or put the engine under load. Just run standard timing 15 degrees and if it pings just take it back a little till it doesnt. Once the cooler is on then play around Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you only need the one head gasket. But if youre planning to remove the head it'd be advisable to buy the intake and exhaust manifold gaskets and r/cover gasket too..

Dont cometic make a thicker head gasket to suit the higher comp motors?

Get the holden genuine 6pc exhaust manifold gasket too they are better quality and seel better PN:M40779 there $30.25 from coventrys Quote: Originally Posted by Steve Dont cometic make a thicker head gasket to suit the higher comp motors? yeah they do im not sure wat thicknesses tho

inlet. head. exhaust.... do yaself a favor and get an adjustable fuel reg. whack it on a dyno and get them to adjust the timing, sparkplug gaps and your af ratio's using the fuel reg and boost controller... and you shouldn't have a problem.... dont just bolt it on and hope for the best, too many idiots do it then cry they blow their motor...

how much would it cost to do all that? adjustable fuel reg and dyno

When you run a thicker head gasket with big big boost you run the chance of blowing them out the side even if its a cometic style one. Ask any good engineer, eg pete at applied automotive. He will give you the break down and explain why in most cases its better to use the standard thickness gasket.

yeah pete is a top bloke i have been talking to him about engine options he explains stuff thoroughly.

you get so much knowledge from him, if you retain 5% of it, you;re still ahead of the rest Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

awk wats his log in name? so can ne one come to a final conclusion of whats best to do thats no too expensive ? lol quite a few diff options

ey man good to c ya getting on to bolting it all up right away!! but id say go with what VLT 88 said ...he knows his sh1t, itd be a safe bet.

how come u need to remove the head and change the head gasket??
