Had a conversation with a technician from my local Nissan dealer (Polesworth Garage) today whilst picking up some service kits. As I had parked out of sight, I Acted completely thick (quite easy)and asked a few obvious questions on someones elses behalf (Pretend) and a couple of more tech ones. He had`nt a clue! it was so funny, I let him completely hang himself as I asked about tuning and timing,he explained at some length as to how the timing cannot be altered that there is no where to change it and these cars are notorious for requiring head jobs at very low mileage? He also mentioned that they looked after a red one for a customer and they are such tempremental cars…

I called a Nissan Main dealer (Polesworth) to find out how much my fan belt would be to be changed (fed up of the squeeling now!) I was informed that it would be; £160'ish for the labour 'if' all he belts needed to be removed to put on the fan belt, but they should all be changed anyway.... £18.21 for my A/C belt £19.15 for my Fan/Alternator Belt £18.21 for my Power Steering Belt So roughly £220'ish for the whole job, plus the old VAT of course... This sounds steep to me but I could be wrong. Can I get it done cheaper? HELP!!! Matty. ------------------ Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...…

I have just got back from having my new tyres fitted, I have kept the old ones for potential track use. When the fitter handed them to me he informed me that there had been a puncture repair to one tyre, okay I thought, no probs. He then went on to say that it was a plug repair and that it is only legal for agricultural use in the UK, and he's very suprised that it hadn't blown!!!!!!!!!!! If you haven't come across a repair of this nature before, it's basically a bit of impregnated rope that is stuffed in the hole, thereby stopping the air leak. I trying not to think about what would have happened if it had given out on Saturday on track! A lesson ther…

OK, there may be a game of UT tonight. I saw maybe as last time there was a big problem with version incompatibilities and half the people couldn't join Warrens server, but had no problem joining mine (and vice versa). Anyway, after reading a few FAQs on the subject and getting a slightly different version of the game, it should be on for tonight. Keep your eye on this thread for updates and a possible IP address (I hope!). The game is likely to start at about 9pm. Andy

Hi guys, Just a quick question for the techies amongst us. I bought a simple Xenon timing light (non-inductive) and couldn't get it to work. I know you have to take the No.1 cylinder coil pack apart but the metal spring/sensor thingy on the timing lead wouldn't go in series with the disassembled coil pack. The spring/sensor is tapered and just wouldn't go in far enough. I'm now about to exchange it for an inductive timing light but was wondering if that would work better. I know that the clamp has to be around the black wire loop on the PTU but I've recently seen a post on here that suggests that this method is highly inaccurate as it picks up the signal fo…

Spent most of Saturday removing and cleaning, just one, of my headlights and have learnt many things :- This is bloody hard work and is no trivial job, my hands (still) hurt, my knuckles are skinned and I really hate Nissan sometimes. The standard airbox is not supposed to come out. In fact I suspect, given the way the pop rivets are facing that it is assembled when in the car. We could make it 10 times easier to remove by brazing some captive nuts to the underside of the bracket and using screws from inside the airbox In order to remove the LH headlight I had to remove the airbox and the electric fan. Once again, if there was a captive nut underneath, rath…
