section III

pretty much everything listed there, and I think I need a new AC compressor, so I may convert to r134a while I am at it.

Edit ~>
sadly I priced all that stuff (excluding the AC pump and conversion kit) and I came out with a near 300 dollar total. Expensive addon, but since I want this GTX to run superbly for a while, I am going to take care of it.

Damn, I replaced almost all the things he mentioned in that section and never realized it

You might consider having the valve seals and pistons rings replaced as well if you do decide to take off the head for whatever reason. That's what I did, although it took some extra effort and $$...

I want to replace the head gasket, rings and seals, but I cant decide. I know a NA head is in the future works with alot of work done to it, so it almost makes me want to wait on pulling the head and just do it all while the head swap is under way.

It's not like you're always spinning.. with proper suspension and a smart driver that turbo is completely driveable. I managed to drive the GT-R turbo at 30psi without spinning the tires, it was one hell of a ride.
