    I know this thread is old but there is a joint in chicago that will fill and drill. I wanted to put Mpars on my 240sx and I can't remember what they quoted but it was actually very reasonable. Gomez tires is the name of the place.

    I would recommend checking your vacuum lines, especially the one under the intake. The valve cover gasket and oil cap gasket are worth replacing, too.

    FYI I cleaned it when I replaced the intake boot to ICV hose using that writeup. Try unplugging it and see what happens. Wouldn't doubt if there are more vacuum leaks either.
