wow some one has been busy, have to concur with Din though think those piston inserts will cause compression issues 🙂, just finished doing cambelt and waterpump on my other halfs z18xe, annoyingly i mistakenly used the torque settings from a x18xe (dont ask, sleep deprvation / rushing etc ) and snapped one of the water pump bolts and over tightened the other two, currently just using the two and seem to run ok but kind of waiting for the inevitable problems though, could have been worse I only noticed i was looking at the wrong engine code when it made reference to the oil filter location, originally i timed it up as a x18xe (completely different) so glad i noticed before i timed it up proper.
have done the TC mod on my coupe but if im honest i always forget to use it, nice to have it though, have been thinking about brakes but first the old girl is going on a diet, nothing to extreme but weight loss aids the exisiting brakes without the need to add to unspung mass, aids accelleration etc think i have lost about 50kg just removing tat from arounf the car without losing any of the comforts so far, the only asthetic mods i have are black wheels, black boot strip and black V grill, ill be porting / polishing the TB this weekend along with a few airbox mods to increase flow have done the standard vec c pipe etc already, as i already have a exhaust manifold / catback my thoughts are now on the inlet manifold, not keen on the 2.4 one so will be interested in your thoughts when you get chance to drive it.
cheers
