Well slight problem on the head disassembly today nismo. It seems to be storming. High winds and all that. You guys will probably get it too. I`m running on backup diesel generator right now. I will get to it soon though I promise. I would like to have it shipped no later than next Tuesday.

On a brighter note, I took off my afm and it is pretty shot.... the little flappy thing just falls arounds. Pulled the one off the other car and its all nice and clean and not sloppy. I`ll put it on tomorrow.

what would happen if my injectors where wired wrong? If front and back where crossed? Would this maybe fry my efi relay? Cause It just lost all its magical smoke.

it shouldn't matter for the ZXT as it's a batch firing system. I believe it's been said that if you had enough length of wire and connected the injectors in any way that it shouldn't cause any problems.

Okay folks got the car running again. runs extremely smooth. Purs like a kitty. When I took it for a test spin it was like vroooommmmm pssshhhh Then I shifted and punched it and it was like vrooooommmmmm blaaahhhhhhh.

No big deal today though. Just some of the older intake hoses couldnt handle the 12psi boost.... So it popped em. Gonna have to rethink em. And I need an intercooler. Nismo you find me an intercooler and I`ll trade you for the head. I need a decent one though.

I'm sure it's not hard... but time consuming. Time which I don't have to spend polishing. The surface isn't visible once installed anyway, so polishing seems like a waste of time.

Here's some pics Snw:
