I'm not 100% convinced on the rims. I think they'd sit well on an N14 or RN14. Maybe in white may help? Hard to see in the pics though. Could be ok in the flesh.

 

[Freaky_Fish]

I would say the look good in the flesh but that's my opinion lol I'll take some different photos and maybe get them photo shopped white

Coming to JAE?

Nope unfortunately not

Nope unfortunately not

Dislike.

 

[rowdy-GTi]

Look like wheel trims. A different colour would help.

 

[wraith]

They are nice wheels but not sure they suit the Almera.

My brain keeps trying to wrap an 80s rally car round them instead for some reason.

Bring on the weekend

Ended up getting a pulsar cover machined to fit the bigger wheel. But can't wait

 

[Spook]

LIKE!

 

[Spyke]

Good work.

Sorted out the mapping issues yet?

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Fitting a thicker headgasket at the weekend along with this and 440 injectors so hopefully once it's remapped it'll be fine

 

[Spyke]

Excellent

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Day one finished got the new head gasket on and all timed back up. Everything looks in good shape for the mileage/det issues so that's kept me happy. Tomorrow will be fitting everything back on new injectors and getting the turbo back on then out for a tune

 

[Spook]

Engine hoist for the head? Have you no arms?
I lifted an RB 'head off by hand before now (and may do again!).

Seriously though that's cracking work buddy.

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Why struggle when you have all the tools lol yeah it's not that heavy. Cheers it's not all me I do have a mate who lends a hand when ever I ask so I can't take all the credit lol

 

[Freaky_Fish]

All back together today and Been out for a run apart from a water leek from the home made turbo cooling pipe all is good. Not much boost at the moment but loads more timing back and feels as fast as it did but with only half the boost

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Also fitted the new injectors which I checked they clicked when I got them to make sure they worked then got the ultrasonic cleaned put them in today and now they don't work. Fairly pissed off after all the work of changing them

 

[Freaky_Fish]

This was a bit of a pain last night

 

[edk]

I'll say. At least that's just the drain isn't it? How far out were you and did you lose critical amounts of oil?

 

[Freaky_Fish]

Yeah it's just the drain which with the ball bearing turbo the oil feed has a restrictor in it so not much oil got out. I was about 7 miles from home i could smell burning oil as I pulled in the petrol station to fill up then when I stopped it started smoking so I drove out the petrol station just because of a possible fire hazard lol it's all fixed now
