Welcome Bro
Everything is done DIY. This is for your benefit. Nissan stealerships are clueless and overpriced.
Parts are available and isnt too hard to source. Midas and Autozone for misc. items. REZLO for performance items, Exotic Customs for customized items, etc.
Is it a stock motor?

Oh and if you owned your SX long enough, it is the equivalent to having a NQF level6 in mechanical engineering.
hehehehe

Haha no i dont have a problem with that hey im a qualified toyota technician so i actually prefer to work on the car because i dont tust other machy's excluding a handful....
shweet shweet all i need is the misc items because i bought a spare motor just incase
ya the motor is pretty much stock just an exhaust added and chiped but im planning afew more mods here and there nothing over board im a huge fan of performance vs reliablity as a hole package which is hard to find in tuned cars these days
Thanks for the info Drillergy...

I'm running a cat18det which in my opinion so far is quiet a stong motor
Which I'm quiet happy with unfortunatelty at the moment I have bad turbo
Lag which I think is a combo between some over fueling and a bad map but will look
Into it in more detail when I get abit of time...
I'm actually dissapointed in the Nissan dealership I serviced the car today they gave
Me the wrong oil filter after phoning them again they told me it is the right one and
I don't know what I'm doing so it would be better to bring the car in to them....

Im pretty sure you need a Z197 oil filter. Its been awhile since iv'e done mine and the sx isnt near enough for me to check

Haha well i actually got a toyota filter from work which fits perfectand runs
the oil pressure quiet well..
I do however have some question's for you guys i dont deal much with turbos infact hardly ever...
i have a BOV running just on before the IC and it can be justed i dont wana play with it simply because i dont know what the consequense's could be so any advisce?
Secondly if im not mistaken i should be hearing a dump which is very quiet at the moment can that be adjusted? or is the BOV leaking?
Going to post Pic when some free time comes my way, with the strike the work load has increased

Remove it! The T25 and T28 don't need it. They cause more issues than any good. Just block off wherever it comes off obviously.
