And I just did a search on FB. Many people in the Georgia Z Club identified it as a scam.

Classic scammer tactics. Move on.

I have not, but was a member of that group for a while. Looked like a scam to me. Nice looking parts for too good to be true prices. The admins are the only people that post on the group too. They also have several posts from people claiming how good of an experience it was to buy from the admins, but all those posts look strangly similar. I wouldn't risk my money on it.

The pistons and seals are available; https://www.jauce.com/auction/r1144731421 And can be brought separately. Pistons, in theory, should be available from Nissan. What is also needed, which isn't in the seal kit, are the seal retaining rings...which are avail repro. Stainless instead of steel. Helps keep the water out of the piston. Here is a listing with the maker of the seal rings; https://www.jauce.com/auction/1115276814

Good call @siteunseen. Easier than the gas can trick but the same result!!

@siteunseen good call on the FPR! When I took it off, the return line was completely dry so I knew right away something was amiss. Anyway, swapped it out and rigged my old one in place and it runs. Granted, doesn't idle on its own but I can hear there is a misfire so it's probably just an injector, plug, or wire. Ill diagnose that once I get coolant in the car and be able to have it run for more than a few seconds. Once I get the rpms over 2k it sounds good albeit a small blip here and there. The other bad thing is I just have the headers on it so it's loud as all hell. I might try to rig the old exhaust up for the time being so I can at least listen for leaks, etc while I fine tune it. I'll swap out the FPR with a proper set up once I get everything back together. But thank you so much for that small piece of input! So invaluable. I was ready to tear the head apart again to check that my timing and valve lash was on point! And thanks to everyone else for providing all the input to get me where i am, I appreciate it a lot!

Hoover, you are one patient, poised, level-headed rock star. Thank you for sharing the photos and info. Obviously, the L24 won that day.
