Tungsten

power seats are gay

not worth it, slip up and your head is done its easier to get the turbo 300zx studs and use those you could install headers though, they make your engine bay look nice

its like glass marbles bouncing inside the cylinders the owners manual describes it as a "metal rapping sound" its very high pitched, an average consumer camera can't pick it up like it can pick up rod knock, leaking manifolds, and flat valves

thanks its funny how its almost normal for this thing to spark knock lol it even says so in the owners manual, look at the fuel recommendation page

well i don't have any issues on either octanes i was just wondering if that pulley provides any additional balancing or if its safe to put new marks on it like they did btw my timing was about 10 degrees off, it ran at 25 lol

OK, the timing is set to 15 deg exactly!! Now using new OEM cap, rotor, plugs, and wires. They told me that instead of trying to line up the pulley with the damper, they just made new marks on it. The pulley position really doesn't matter right? Spark knock on load is gone. They said if it comes back on that setting, don't use 87 but use 89 or even 93. I think it should be good but I need some comments. BTW, 15 degrees seems to give less HP but the most torque.

nope they are too weak to tow with

meh if you think an odometer that doesn't move is bad, try an odometer that likes to move around spontaneously like mine does lol my tach and speedo work fine tho

i wouldn't mess with it because then you will have to take the entire engine apart again if something goes wrong if you want more power, its more worth it to put a v8 in there or a vg33e

they had a few of those engines made for the sports car throughout various years VG30E VG30ET VG30DE VG30DETT etc... D means dual cams and T means turbo the most power ive seen out of a VG30E was about 160hp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VG_engine#VG30E note the lower torque and higher hp and vice versa which probably means different timing settings

ok thanks do you know the exact pressure? i took it to the shop to try and get the pulley corrected

you can use the heads but i don't know if that will give you any power difference at all

hook it where?

i can't believe they didn't key the pulley on the damper that is such a poor design

if you are talking about the same VG30E engine as used in the sports car then yes

extra power could come from a different timing setting and higher octane gas

so apparently the owners manual says that spark knock on acceleration is normal however consistent spark knock when cruising is not and the engine should be adjusted at the dealer to fix it anyone know what adjustment are they talking about? i have that consistent spark knock when cruising (even with 93 octane fuel)

i asked for 94s plugs at the dealer since my engine is out of a 94 thanks for the info

can anyone tell me what is the correct heat range for this truck? right now i'm using the dealers NGK-BKR5EY plugs apparently they are the Hot heat range

maybe its a timing problem

the reason i keep mine on is because i already have rust spots behind them so having them on hides the rust

i think they are the same cam

its the fuel sender mine did that same crap until i changed it and then it became more accurate i have a feeling they revised the resistor

oh the squeal wasn't from the engine at all, it was either from something i did to the camera while holding it or a squeaky gas pedal my camera can't pick up the high pitched sound but as far as i know its definitely a spark knock at load it sounds like glass marbles bouncing around in cylinders

OMG!! The tick is so high pitched that the microphone in my camera cannot pick it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY4AoXoNyh0 Well thats as good as I could get it right now. Listen from about 0:11 to when my camera makes a squeak sound. I think it sounds like a blender.
