@Jim - you'll get to see my map and possibly even use it and tweak it for Boby's. Bob - don't take any of the "oh I had to start from scratch and so that'll be another 24 beers you owe me" malarky ....! :shock: :lol: :lol:

Will know after weekend if my 3071R is sold or not. Only done about 6k miles. Price of €700 - about ST£475 plus postage.

Hi guys, Mate is looking to upgrade some parts and just wondering does anyone know if the following will fit relatively easy? Car is 180SX. - Turbo? - Front Brakes - note he has a 4 stud hub also. - injectors? I know ours are top fed low impedence... - clutch? I doubt these are same...

Jees can't a man curl up in a corner and cry to himself?? :shock: :lol: How hard is it to take off the head? Thanks for the comments. I'll have a chat with myself and see. To answer a couple questions : 1.8mm gasket used mainly as better for boost I heard, and I know a couple...

Well thanks for the kind words and views/solutions. I'll have another think. Also I'm on a 1.8mm gasket so only way I wouldn't need a remap is if i get same on. I'd need a remap if head skimmed or if I changed size of gasket wouldn't I? Not convinced but you've forced me to have a...

Thanks for trying Bob but here's how it stands. Recovery - 100 miles, minimum 150 Head Gasket - 200 Head will need to be leak tested and if fine prob still skimmed - 200 at least Rad - no point gettin standard - 300 min. thermostat - 50 water pump - 150 at least labour - prob 300 ish. Thats...

Bit of clever deleting there ya sneaky one! Some of us are too fast.... (shame about our cars :doh: :lol: :thumbsup: )

That second post a bit crazy there Robbie ! Have you been drinking??? @boby - I take your point, I've crunched the numbers and I'm not repairing it. It'd be another 1.5-2k by time on road (rad, stat, water pump, recovery/transport, head, gasket, skimmed etc) and I'm not doing it. Even...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Only at weekends unlike some of my fellow compadre's.... :oops: ;-) :roll:

Yep just at end of tether. Too much gone into it in repairs etc and I'm not gonna be one of the €30-40k pulsar owners.... Self induced is a bit harsh as it all happened on the one journey home. Hindsight should have got uprated rad yonks ago. Really, everything needs to be uprated on these...

I've got a better idea. I'm gonna break the b`astard. watch soon for parts. be startin it in couple weeks.

it was from exhaust yes. to be honest at moment I'm thinking the head gasket failure could be the easiest solution. Not sure as bores are being mentioned and I'm thinking block failure a possibility. that would be burning time !!

:doh: Ok, uprated Radiator and thermostat been on agenda for a little but not done. Driving home on friday car temp suddenly shoots up. look at commander and see temps of hi 90's... pull in and let cool down. water had boiled out the expansion bottle. Suspect sticking thermostat or...

100% of 700's doesn't sound right. You've a 2871 or 3071 right? Sounds like you need a trip to some good Apexi mappers... RC are legends, Hiteq also supposed to be good if closer to you.

You can get the block bored out to 86.5mm to accomodate your pistons. The max the block can be bored out is about 87.5mm, after this you would need liners to strengthen it. The only thing to consider, is if you cracked a piston it may have scored teh block. This could be more than 0.5mm...
