word on the street is new laws came in this year regarding cats and dpfs,im told if a cat/dpf was once fitted and its been removed it should fail

Great minds Stephen and all that :thumbup:

Looks like a failed turbo to me never mind the pcv valve.

The Sub fan will be the culprit, its the electric fan in front of the ac condensor to cool the gas temp but its also used as an emergency fan if the ecu can not see an engine temp.It is controlled by the ecu temp switch located on the top water pipe next to the dash gauge sender which is (1 wire) only.Its the yellow plug with 2 wires,check its secure and the terminals are making a good connection.If it was the viscous locked in bits of cardboard will not stop it nor your fingers either !

Well done James,Those guys really know there stuff at Vibration Free,I had a customer go there and he gave them the thumbs up also after.

How rusty is youre arch ? id only change whats actually rusted as youll never get a better job than Nissan did,fitting a whole arch for 4" of rust is overkill.Trial fit your section over the top and use it like a stencil then cut away below the line on the car,youll need a joggler to step the bodywork where it attaches.Once your happy with the fit secure the section in with self tapping screws to hold it before spot welding,Do not spot continously or the heat will build up and warp the panel.Spots every say 3-4mm are fine to hold it securely.

As the twinz rear is fibreglass Howard im sure it can be modified and blended to fit,the diffuser will look good too.

Ive seen this many times and its poor installation 9 times out of 10,All the deletes are not necessary to fit them,ASH SPEC massives fit fine,Z1 and Bells fit better with custom brackets but these are huge smics.

d22 and d40 engines are made of cheese literally,Nissan did no favours for themselves with them,80k and the bottom end melts or the chain shits itself !

Just measure on the car,front of the diff flange to just inside of the shroud around the output seal.iirc is 1225mm,then have the prop made so from the front face behind the input sleeve that goes into the box too the rear flange measures 1225mm,check that measurement but i think youll find its right for a lwb

Still Nissan underneath Bri,worked on a few of the Renault,Nissan versions ,mainly engine rebuilds the d40 engine was utter shash,clutch was a piece of piss though Lol

Yup i agree,at least then it will actually be stainless,those Japspeed exhausts are low grade and corrode eventually

Yes see what your saying but do we a few guys on a car forum know better than Nissan who made and designed it as it was ? :smartass:

Im not sold on the poorly located point about PTU,s Steve,i always think its behind a whacking great fan for a reason and Nissan had many other locations they could have used but chose the one they did to gain the most cooling.

correct fella,any boost leak will upset the balance of the breather system and pull oil through the intake.

So what was the point your trying to make then ? about your Surfs original turbo and other cars with oil in the intake system ?

Most aftermarket parts are nowhere near as good as the original,brake discs & exhausts are classic examples.Buy a new car the exhaust will last 10 years maybe,yet any replacement 3 years and its rotten !

Oil in the pipework isnt indicative the turbo is failing.

I really cant see that happening Chris,If the Japanese for reasons unknown didnt re issue the same vin taking into account it was made and first registered there, how can the DVLA when all they have are papers passed on from a non EU Country.It has to be taken for an MOT and they will enter the visible vin number only on the vehicle.In theory you can get a test on it now.It does not have to be registered or have number plates to take it.

Rather than waste money trying to chase problems, these guys will diagnose the issue properly.If its £100 which i believe it is,will work out way way cheaper than swapping wheels,bushes ect :yes:

James,a customer of mine took his car to vibrationfree in Bicester so not far from you,They can analyse the whole drivetrain,He had his wheels balanced 3 times to no avail.They did them on the car and installed sensors under the car and ran it up,added 1 washer to a prop bolt, problem solved !!.£100 they charged him and his car is as smooth as silk now.

You are aware Chris the auction sheet clearly shows the vin number was incorrect as it does not start with GCZ32,Im amazed how that slipped through the net if im honest.

My advice is do not let the pedal go to the floor,put some wood under it,its common for cylinders to flip the seals if they travel too far.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ yup,will be misfire for sure
