Amazing Breakthrough following DIY Build
I have been talking to Kyle too about putting a motor together for me too.
I think I will just let him do the whole longblock for me though.
I got a extra longblock in my house just deciding when to get it done just don't want it sitting there until my engine goes.
Randy have you tried speaking with any of the Nissan dealers that are replacing motors for oil consumption.
Might get a longblock core for cheap that way.
Don't know if your motor is a rev-up but if it is it might be something that you might want to look into.

So, YES, I will have to pay for replacements parts, machining, valve job, cylinder head pressure testing, replacement rods, and possibly a replacement block and crank. Oh Yeah, thats a lot of $$$$$$$$$$ that I don't have. I am in credit debt up to my eyeballs since this car first broke, and I was hoping that a warranty might serve to help.
Looks like I'll be selling my services on 42st again.

Damn Sharif, I'm busted! LOL But I do need to sell some stuff to get the money together to get my motor fixed.
Anybody need a flux capacitor. Makes your Z go faster. On sale $1999.00

Yep I know Sharif.. Them kids are ballers!!
At this point I just got my turbos back today from Greddy after being re-conditioned. (Thanks Julian for the help on that one.)
I am still waiting for Kyle to finish assembling my motor and then it needs to be shipped from Texas to NYC...another few days. So by Mid Feb. I'll have my new motor.
Once its back, I plan to run NA for about 750 miles.
Once that is done, I change to Synthetic oil and install the Greddy TT kit along with the ProEFI (hopefully).

That is my plan. It is recommended by Greddy and my engine builder. That is good enough for me.
There will be no need for a start up tune as i will be running off of the stock ECU and stock injectors. Once I break the car down again after the 750 miles, I will be upgrading to the ProEFI and I will be getting a tune by my top secret resource, for me to know and you to find out...Muhahaha, Muhahaha...a couple more Muhaha's and I'm done. But thanks for asking.LOL...
