I thought their stuff was stainless :oops:- Crunching in to 4th from 5th....
Oil changes wont help,the fault is the syncro is not beefy enough to handle the torque the engine produces at the higher engine speeds.Syncros are brakes basically that slow gears down to engage the sliding dog,this is why oil doesnt help as the cone and baulk ring are designed to disperse oil to help shifting.- Crunching in to 4th from 5th....
This is a common zed complaint and relates to a failure on 4th gear syncro,nissan were aware of this weakness and devised an uprated syncro,baulk ring,dog and fork to repair it.Its not cheap though.Over £400 for those parts alone.Oil level etc will not cure it.- Engine replacements
No running in on mine bud like that,no silly rev limits etc.All i ever say is dont redline it or labour it in too high a gear.I tell everyone that and nobody has ever had a failure.Some spirited driving is good for a new engine it helps bed the rings into the bores better.- Can't see the sense in this
Its all to do with leverage,those brakes should out perform stock ones as the pad grips the disc further away from its axis.Many big brake conversions are like that,doesnt stop them working correctly.- Is it possible to test...
nitrogen is used normally,its illegal to refill an a/c system knowing it has a leak.- Relocating the air filter away from FMIC?
At the power level your running the gains will be virtually nothing.Unless your getting detonation or your engines running to warm id leave it.The filter should still be getting cold air anyway where its located.- ffs , trying to find wheels is a nightmare
Youll find many of the new e bay rims are pants,they peel at the slightest mention of moisture,id avoid at all costs.Ive read several posts from people complaining of e bay wheels blistering within months of getting them.- Swapping injector connectors
what you can also do is remove the spark plug on the offending cylinder, connect a 9 v battery using wire to the injector,youll hear it click and see fuel spraying into the cylinder if its working.- Is there a quicker way
If the box is coming out anyway take them out together.just make sure the engine cranes man enough and get the car up high to allow the box to dangle.- strange steering
Honest mate,check the u/j. Its common on vehicles that have been parked up.- strange steering
Your lower steering column universal joint has seized.undo it where it meets the column and check if its notchy.Brace yerself for a new one £150 iirc.- What are these pipes?
Thats a pair of drivers side turbo oil feed pipes .- Spark Plugs
B plug is longer which helps prevent detonation and spark blow out at higher boost levels.- Nice surprise
Its why were all here bud :punk:. nice feature and very Japanese i reckon,what other country except Japan would think of that ??- Nice surprise
On shorties the spare comes deflated to save space hence the compressor.This was a standard feature.- Am I a nugget and gone too far?
That could have been a major worry but i heard Max Chav mag went bust,such a shame.Daz is well on the way though now.Vince will be creaming his chuds if he see,s those :laugh:- gulp getting really nervous!
Best luck Gaz,be thinking of ya,hope it goes well and im sure it will :cool3:- driftworks total hicas eliminator kit
The joints are wider on the rear,but if you grind the flange off you can hammer them through.- TT clutch in a NA how is it possible?
A tt flywheel is larger in diameter,so to fit it youll need to grind the inside of the bellhousing away until it fits,youll also have to shim the starter to move it out.- nice front bumper
Custom ? you serious,My dads had that bumper,geniune too,had stock indicators behind perspex cut from a ceiling light cover.was a rite pita when the bulb went.That silver ones fine but the rabbit hutch mesh looks pants imho.- Just bumped someone UPDATED
